Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an
apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in
the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which
was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship,
for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his
name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 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.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you
all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the
whole world.
9 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;
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I
might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to
come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you
some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be
established;
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you
by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 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.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the
Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the
gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 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.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall
live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest
in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 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:
21 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.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,
23 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.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves:
25 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.
26 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:
27 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.
28 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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 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.
