Romans 1

1PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, calledG2822to bean apostleG652, separatedG873 unto the gospelG2098 of GodG2316, 2which he promised afore through his prophetsG4396 in the holyG40 scripturesG1124, 3concerningG4012 his SonG5207, who was born of the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, 4who was declared to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 with powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, by the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498; even JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our LordG2962, 5through whom we receivedG2983 graceG5485 and apostleshipG651, unto obedienceG5218 of faithG4102 among all the nationsG1484, for his name’sG3686 sakeG1223; 6among whom areG1510 ye alsoG2532, calledG2822 to beG1510 JesusG2424 Christ’s: 7to all that areG1510 in RomeG4516, belovedG27 of GodG2316, calledG2822 to beG1510 saintsG40: GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

8FirstG4413, I thankG2168 my GodG2316 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for you all, that your faithG4102 is proclaimedG2605 throughout the wholeG3650 worldG2889. 9For GodG2316 isG1510 my witnessG3144, whom I serveG3000 in my spiritG4151 in the gospelG2098 of his SonG5207, howG5613 unceasinglyG89 I makeG4160 mentionG3417 of you, always in my prayers 10making request, if by any means nowG2235 at length I may be prospered by the will of GodG2316 to comeG2064 unto you. 11For I longG1971 to seeG3708 you, that I may impartG3330 unto you some spiritualG4152 giftG5486, to the end ye may be established; 12that isG1510, that I with you may beG1510 comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faithG4102, both yours and mineG1473. 13And I would not have you ignorantG50, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to comeG2064 unto you (and was hinderedG2967 hitherto), that I might have some fruitG2590 in you alsoG2532, evenG2532 as in the restG3062 of the GentilesG1484. 14I amG1510 debtor both to GreeksG1672 and to Barbarians, both to the wiseG4680 and to the foolishG453. 15So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you alsoG2532 that are in RomeG4516.

16For I amG1510 not ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098: for it isG1510 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 unto salvationG4991 to every oneG3588 that believeth; to the JewG2453 firstG4413, and alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672. 17For therein is revealedG601 a righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 from faithG4102 unto faithG4102: as it is writtenG1125, But the righteousG1342 shall liveG2198 by faithG4102.

18For the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 against all ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who hinder the truthG225 in unrighteousnessG93; 19because that which isG1510 known of GodG2316 isG1510 manifestG5319 in them; for GodG2316 manifestedG5319 it unto them. 20For the invisibleG517 things of him since the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 areG1510 clearly seen, beingG1510 perceived through the things that areG1510 made, evenG2532 his everlasting powerG1411 and divinity; that they may beG1510 without excuse: 21because that, knowingG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him not as GodG2316, neither gaveG2168 thanksG2168; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heartG2588 was darkenedG4654. 22Professing themselves to beG1510 wiseG4680, they becameG3471 fools, 23and changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptible GodG2316 for the likenessG3667 of an imageG1504 of corruptible manG444, and of birdsG4071, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore GodG2316 gave them up in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588 unto uncleanness, that their bodiesG4983 should be dishonoredG818 among themselves: 25for that they exchanged the truthG225 of GodG2316 for a lieG5579, and worshipped and servedG3000 the creature rather than the Creator, who isG1510 blessed for ever. AmenG281.

26For this cause GodG2316 gave them up unto vile passionsG3806: for their women changed the naturalG5446 use into that which is against natureG5449: 27and likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the men, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 use of the woman, burned in their lust oneG240 toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receivingG618 in themselves that recompense of their errorG4106 which was due.

28And evenG2532 as they refused to have GodG2316 intheirknowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gave them up unto a reprobate mindG3563, to do those things which are not fitting; 29being filledG4137 with all unrighteousnessG93, wickednessG4189, covetousnessG4124, maliciousness; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, strifeG2054, deceitG1388, malignity; whisperers, 30backbiters, hateful to God, insolentG5197, haughty, boastfulG213, inventors of evilG2556 thingsG2556, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31without understandingG801, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32who, knowing the ordinance of GodG2316, that they that practise suchG5108 thingsG5108 areG1510 worthyG514 of deathG2288, not onlyG3440 do the sameG846, but alsoG2532 consent with them that practise them.
