==Commentary==
The '''Epistle to the Romans''' is a letter written by the [[apostle Paul]] the [[church]] in Rome. It is the sixth book of the [[New Testament]]. The letter gives an overview of the [[Christian]] faith. In it Paul teaches us that a believer is saved because of his faith in [[Jesus Christ]] and not through any [[good works]] that he does.

===Authorship===
A major theme in the Epistle to the Romans is justification through faith alone. Paul describes that every person has sinned
As a gift, this [[justification]] which brings eternal life is through belief or faith, rather than obedience to the law or by doing good works. Paul argues this in [[Romans 4]]. Furthermore, this justification is not just for Jews as some believed at the time, but was for everyone - [[Romans 1]]:16-17.
