    A. CONDEMNATION (1:18–3:20) Gospel righteousness absolutely needed by man and unattainable. Every approach that man might attempt is utterly cut off, for it is “by faith from start to finish.

    PART ONE: DOCTRINAL (1:18–8:39)
    1AN OUTLINE OF THE EPISTLE Developed in a three–fold manner, each section is distinct—Doctrinal, Historical, Practical—and closes with a doxology. The following is a general outline of the epistle:

    d. The Gospel considered Practically (v. 17b)

    AN INTERPRETIVE OUTLINE OF THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS THEME: DIVINE RIGHTEOUSNESS The theme of Romans is the righteousness of God. Note the development of this theme throughout the epistle:
    RIGHTEOUSNESS REQUIRED from humanity (1:18–3:20) RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALED in Christ alone (3:21–26) RIGHTEOUSNESS RECEIVED by faith alone (3:27–5:21) RIGHTEOUSNESS REALIZED in sanctification (6:1–8:11) RIGHTEOUSNESS RETAINED in glorification (8:12–39) RIGHTEOUSNESS REJECTED by non–elect Israel (9:1–11:36) RIGHTEOUSNESS REPRODUCED in a converted life (12:1–16:27)

    Thank you for this wonderful eye-straining head-scratching outline of the book of Romans. I may get around to deciphering/unraveling it some day. (but don't hold your breath)
