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.
