The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans was written from Corinth about A.D. 58. The purpose of the letter is to secure the active support of the church in Rome for his missionary program. Paul stresses the universality of man’s sin but that God saves all men through faith in Christ. He discusses the place of Israel in God’s plan of salvation and how Christians should conduct themselves.

Romans 3

3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
