The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans contains 16 chapters,
433 verses and 9432 words in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 KJV. The
1769 Edition is also known as The Revised Standard Oxford Edition,
Compiled and Edited by Dr. Benjamin Blayney. Many modern King
James Versions follow Blayney’s 1769 Edition. I decided to work
with these verses. The word epistle means letter. The old King James Version (not the
NKJV) defines its meaning for us in Acts 23:25 25He wrote a letter as follows:
Acts 23:33 33When the cavalry arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and handed Paul over to him.
2 Corinthians 3:1 1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?. Paul wrote his epistle or letter to the Romans in the winter of AD
57-58, from Corinth and possibly from Cenchrea, Romans 16:1 1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae., the
rowdy eastern port city of Corinth, where sexual immorality and
prostitution were openly practiced. That part really stood out for me. After i started driving junk, i lost appeal to women. Yet Rome was even more idolatrous
than Corinth. Sporting events in the Circus Maximus and fertility
goddess worship in hundreds of pagan temples echoed the adulation of
idolatrous Romans. Rome was a city wholly given to idolatry. God told me to make rejecters history & that's been very hard to deal with. Throughout ancient Rome thousands of bronze and marble statues
honored false gods. Carved friezes decorated building facades,
depicting everything from daily activities to pagan gods. Wall, floor and
ceiling murals in homes and commercial buildings depicted erotic
sexuality. Painted pottery portrayed pornographic pictures
Sensuality and lust were part of daily life in ancient Rome. Paul's letter
to the Romans addresses their lack of righteousness and God's wrath
at and remedy for their unrighteousness, which is the righteousness of
Christ, freely imputed, Romans 4:6 6David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 6David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:, when they receive the gift of
righteousness, Romans 5:17 17For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! Buried with him in baptism simply means symbolic that you were laid next to him when he was put in the grave and also risen when came out of the grave as forever a new creature. And it means that we all that are baptized we took on his death and took on his righteousness.
 Paul does not shy away from the first century pagan realities of Roman idolatry, fertility goddess worship and

shrine prostitution. Romans is not theoretical. It is practical and
focused on what Roman Christians encountered every day they lived in
Rome. 225 women turned me against heterosexuality.
