Paul Greets the Saints in Rome
1 PAUL the servant of JESUS CHRIST, called to be an Apostle, separated into the Gospel of God,📜💬📚
2 which before he had promised by his Prophets in the holy Scriptures.📜💬📚
3 of his Son, (who was made to him of the seed of David according to the flesh,📜💬📚
4 who was predestinate the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord JESUS CHRIST from the dead,📜💬📚
5 by whom we have received grace and Apostleship for obedience to the faith in all Nations for the name of him,📜💬📚
6 among whom are you also the called of JESUS CHRIST:)📜💬📚
7 to all that are at Rome the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace from God our father, and our Lord JESUS CHRIST.📜💬📚
Unashamed of the Gospel
8 First I give thanks to my God through JESUS CHRIST for all you, because your faith is renowned in the whole world.📜💬📚
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, that without intermission I make a memory of you📜💬📚
10 always in my prayers, beseeching, if by any means I may sometime at the length have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you.📜💬📚
11 For I desire to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to confirm you:📜💬📚
12 that is to say, to be comforted together in you by that which is common to us both, your faith & mine.📜💬📚
13 And I will not have you ignorant (brethren) that I have often purposed to come unto you (and have been stayed hitherto) that I may have some fruit in you, as also in the other Gentiles.📜💬📚
14 To the Greeks & the Barbarous, to the wise and the unwise I am debter.📜💬📚
15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to evangelize to you also that are at Rome.📜💬📚
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God, unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jews first and to the Greek.📜💬📚
17 For the justice of God is revealed therein by faith into faith; as it is written: And the just liveth by faith.📜💬📚
God's Wrath against Sin
18 For the wrath of God from Heaven is revealed, upon all impiety and injustice of those men that detain the verity of God in injustice:📜💬📚
19 because, that of God which is known, is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.📜💬📚
20 For his invisible things, from the creation of the world are seen, being understood by those things that are made; his eternal power also and Divinity: so that they are inexcusable.📜💬📚
21 Because, whereas they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks: but are become vain in their cogitations, and their foolish heart hath been darkened.📜💬📚
22 For, saying themselves to be wise, they became fools.📜💬📚
23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God, into a similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of fowls and four-footed beasts and of them that creep.📜💬📚
Sexual Sin
24 (For the which cause God hath delivered them up unto the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, for to abuse their own bodies among themselves ignominiously.)📜💬📚
25 Who have changed the verity of God into lying: and have worshipped & served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.📜💬📚
Homosexuality Called Vile
26 Therefore God hath delivered them into passions of ignominy. For their women have changed the natural use, into that use that is contrary to nature.📜💬📚
27 And in like manner the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, have burned in their desires one toward another, men upon men working turpitude, & the reward of their error (which they should) receiving in themselves.📜💬📚
28 And as they liked not to have God in knowledge; God delivered them up into a reprobate sense, to do those things that are not convenient:📜💬📚
29 replenished with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, guile, malignity, whisperers,📜💬📚
30 detractors, odible to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,📜💬📚
31 foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.📜💬📚
Worthy of Death
32 Who whereas they knew the justice of God, did not understand that they which do such things, are worthy of death: not only they that do them, but they also that consent to the doers.📜💬📚
