Book 45 : ROMANS - Chapter 001
001:001
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God
001:002
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
scriptures,
001:003
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of
the seed of David according to the flesh
001:004
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the
spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead
001:005
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
to the faith among all nations, for his name
001:006
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ
001:007
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
Christ
001:008
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world
001:009
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the
gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you
always in my prayers
001:010
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a
prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you
001:011
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some
spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established
001:012
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the
mutual faith both of you and me
001:013
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I
purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I
might have some fruit among you also, even as among other
Gentiles
001:014
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to
the wise, and to the unwise
001:015
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to
you that are at Rome also
001:016
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
the Jew first, and also to the Greek
001:017
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
001:018
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness
001:019
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them
001:020
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
001:021
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
001:022
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
001:023
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things
001:024
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
between themselves
001:025
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever. Amen
001:026
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature
001:027
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
that recompence of their error which was meet
001:028
And even as they did not like to retain God in their
knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
things which are not convenient
001:029
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers
001:030
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents
001:031
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful
001:032
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
pleasure in them that do them
