Romans'' also contains a statement of natural law
{{cquote|They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know [[God]]'s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.<ref>{{bibleref|Romans|1|29-32}}</ref>}}

Romans contains a logical and straightforward condemnation of wickedness, including [[homosexuality]] (Romans 1:32 condemns even the approval of homosexuality by those who do not themselves practice it). Often-quoted passages of Romans include 1:18-32 (with verse 28 and its phrase "reprobate mind" being among the most quoted) and several verses used in an evangelistic tool commonly referred to as the "Roman Road" to salvation (often quoted in the order 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9 and 10:13).

Remarkably, Romans contains more references to "[[faith]]" than any other book in the Bible, except the much longer [[Psalms]] (which is the longest book by word count in the entire Bible).
