The Romans Road refers to a set of scriptures from the book of Epistle to the Romans that Christian evangelists use to present a clear and simple case for personal salvation for each person. All passages are in the King James Version unless otherwise indicated. They are:

Romans 3:23. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (KJV)

Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (KJV)

Romans 5:8. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (KJV)

Romans 10:9-10. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (KJV)

Romans 10:13. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (KJV)

Other verses

There are others in some Christian groups who believe that the above list presented by many evangelists is incomplete. Additions include:

Romans 1:20-21: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." (KJV)

Romans 2:4. "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" (KJV)

Romans 6:3-7. "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin." (KJV)

Romans 10:11. "For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." (KJV)

Romans 11:36: "For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." (KJV)
