The Book of Romans is primarily a work of doctrine and can be divided into four sections: righteousness needed, 1:18–3:20; righteousness provided, 3:21–8:39; righteousness vindicated, 9:1–11:36; righteousness practiced, 12:1–15:13. The main theme of this letter is obvious of course—righteousness.
kitabu cha Warumi kimsingi ni kazi ya mafundisho na kinaweza kugawanywa katika sehemu nne: haki inayohitajika, 1: 18-3: 20; haki inayotolewa, 3: 21-8: 39; haki inayoonyeshwa, 9: 1-11: 36; haki inayotekelezwa, 12: 1-15: 13. Dhamira kuu ya barua hii ni dhahiri bila shaka-haki.
