The Epistle of Paul to the Romans (Brief Summary)

By God's righteous standard, you were condemned, but are now justified by faith in Jesus through his grace when you heard the gospel, believed, and confessed it (you are chosen!).

Now, die to sin as you are raised with Christ and reign with him by the Spirit to bear fruit (love one another) by sacrifice worship, renewed mind, and grace gifts of the Holy Spirit with hope in all creation being redeemed to the glory of God!

This is Paul's purpose in writing this letter ~ for the church in Rome to hear this gospel and receive grace gifts from Holy Spirit to put to death the deeds of the body and live by the Spirit of God!
