Romans 1
1. Paul <3972>, a servant <1401> of Jesus <
2424> Christ <5547>,
called <2822> [to be] an apostle <652>, separated <
873> unto the
gospel <2098> of God <2316>,
2 (Which he had promised <4279> afore <4279> by his
prophets
<4396> in the holy <40> scriptures <1124>,)
3 Concerning <4012> his Son <5207> Jesus <
2424> Christ <5547>
our Lord <2962>, which <3588> was made <1096>
of the seed <4690>
of David <1138> according <2596> to the flesh <
4561>;
4 And declared <3724> [to be] the Son <5207> of God
<2316>
with power <1411>, according <2596> to the spirit <
4151> of
holiness <42>, by the resurrection <386> from the
dead <3498>:
5 By whom <3739> we have received <2983> grace <
5485> and
apostleship <651>, for obedience <5218> to the faith
<4102>
among <1722> all <3956> nations <1484>, for his
name <3686>:
6 Among <1722> whom <3739> are ye also <2532>
the called
<2822> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
7 To all <3956> that be in Rome <4516>, beloved <
27> of God
<2316>, called <2822> [to be] saints <40>:
Grace <5485> to you
and peace <1515> from God <2316> our Father <
3962>, and the Lord
<2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
8. First <4412>, I thank <2168> my God <2316>
through <1223>
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for you all <3956>,
that your <5216>
faith <4102> is spoken <2605> of throughout <
1722> the whole
<3650> world <2889>.
9 For God <2316> is my witness <3144>, whom <
3739> I serve
<3000> with my spirit <4151> in the gospel <
2098> of his Son
<5207>, that without <89> ceasing <89> I make
<4160> mention
<3417> of you always <3842> in my prayers <4335>
;
10 Making <1189> request <1189>, if <1513> by
any <4458> means
<4458> now <2236> at <4218> length <4218>
I might have a
prosperous <2137> journey <2137> by the will <
2307> of God
<2316> to come <2064> unto you.
11 For I long <1971> to see <1492> you, that I may
impart
<3330> unto you some <5100> spiritual <4152>
gift <5486>, to the
end <1519> ye may be established <4741>;
12 That is, that I may be comforted <4837> together <
4837>
with you by the mutual <240> faith <4102> both <
5037> of you and
me.
13 Now <1161> I would <2309> not have you ignorant
<50>,
brethren <80>, that oftentimes <4178> I purposed <
4388> to come
<2064> unto you, (but was let <2967> hitherto <
1204>,) that I
might have <2192> some <5100> fruit <2590>
among <1722> you also
<2532>, even <2532> as among <1722> other <
3062> Gentiles <1484>.
14 I am <1510> debtor <3781> both <5037> to
the Greeks <1672>,
and to the Barbarians <915>; both <5037> to the wise
<4680>, and
to the unwise <453>.
15 So <3779>, as much <3588> as in me is, I am
ready <4289> to
preach <2097> the gospel <2097> to you that are at
<1722> Rome
<4516> also <2532>.
16. For I am not ashamed <1870> of the gospel <2098>
of Christ
<5547>: for it is the power <1411> of God <2316>
unto salvation
<4991> to every <3956> one that believeth <4100>
; to the Jew
<2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> to the
Greek <1672>.
17 For therein <846> is the righteousness <1343> of
God <2316>
revealed <601> from faith <4102> to faith <4102>
: as it is
written <1125>, The just <1342> shall live <
2198> by faith
<4102>.
18 For the wrath <3709> of God <2316> is revealed
<601> from
heaven <3772> against <1909> all <3956>
ungodliness <763> and
unrighteousness <93> of men <444>, who <3588>
hold <2722> the
truth <225> in unrighteousness <93>;
19. Because <1360> that which may be known <1110> of
God <2316>
is manifest <5319> in them; for God <2316> hath
shewed <5319>
[it] unto them.
20 For the invisible <517> things of him from the
creation
<2937> of the world <2889> are clearly <2529>
seen <2529>, being
understood <3539> by the things that are made <4161>,
[even] his
eternal <126> power <1411> and Godhead <2305>;
so <1519> that
they are without <379> excuse <379>:
21 Because <1360> that, when they knew <1097> God
<2316>, they
glorified <1392> [him] not as God <2316>, neither <
2228> were
thankful <2168>; but became <3154> vain <3154>
in their
imaginations <1261>, and their foolish <801> heart
<2588> was
darkened <4654>.
22 Professing <5335> themselves to be wise <4680>,
they became
<3471> fools <3471>,
23 And changed <236> the glory <1391> of the
uncorruptible
<862> God <2316> into <1722> an image <
1504> made like <3667> to
corruptible <5349> man <444>, and to birds <
4071>, and
fourfooted <5074> beasts <5074>, and creeping <
2062> things.
24 Wherefore <1352> God <2316> also <2532>
gave <3860> them up
to uncleanness <167> through <1722> the lusts <
1939> of their
own hearts <2588>, to dishonour <818> their own
bodies <4983>
between <1722> themselves <1438>:
25 Who <3748> changed <3337> the truth <225>
of God <2316>
into <1722> a lie <5579>, and worshipped <4573>
and served
<3000> the creature <2937> more <3844> than <
3844> the Creator
<2936>, who <3739> is blessed <2128> for ever
<165>. Amen <281>.
26 For this <5124> cause <1223> God <2316>
gave <3860> them up
unto vile <819> affections <3806>: for even <
5037> their women
<2338> did change <3337> the natural <5446> use
<5540> into
<1519> that which is against <3844> nature <
5449>:
27 And likewise <3668> also <2532> the men <
730>, leaving
<863> the natural <5446> use <5540> of the
woman <2338>, burned
<1572> in their lust <3715> one <240> toward
<1519> another
<240>; men <730> with men <730> working <
2716> that which is
unseemly <808>, and receiving <618> in themselves <
1438> that
recompence <489> of their error <4106> which <
3739> was meet
<1163>.
28 And even <2531> as they did not like <1381> to
retain
<2192> God <2316> in [their] knowledge <1922>,
God <2316> gave
<3860> them over <3860> to a reprobate <96>
mind <3563>, to do
<4160> those <3588> things which are not convenient
<2520>;
29 Being filled <4137> with all <3956>
unrighteousness <93>,
fornication <4202>, wickedness <4189>, covetousness
<4124>,
maliciousness <2549>; full <3324> of envy <5355>
, murder <5408>,
debate <2054>, deceit <1388>, malignity <2550>;
whisperers
<5588>,
30 Backbiters <2637>, haters <2319> of God <
2319>, despiteful
<5197>, proud <5244>, boasters <213>, inventors
<2182> of evil
<2556> things, disobedient <545> to parents <
1118>,
31 Without <801> understanding <801>,
covenantbreakers <802>,
without <794> natural affection <794>, implacable <
786>,
unmerciful <415>:
32 Who <3748> knowing <1921> the judgment <
1345> of God <2316>,
that they which commit <4238> such <5108> things are
worthy
<514> of death <2288>, not only <3440> do the
same <846>, but
have pleasure <4909> in them that do <4238> them.
Romans 2
1. Therefore <1352> thou art <1488> inexcusable <
379>, O man
<444>, whosoever <3588> thou art <1488> that
judgest <2919>: for
wherein <3757> thou judgest <2919> another <
2087>, thou
condemnest <2632> thyself <4572>; for thou that
judgest <2919>
doest <4238> the same <846> things.
2 But we are sure <1492> that the judgment <2917>
of God
<2316> is according <2596> to truth <225>
against <1909> them
which commit <4238> such <5108> things.
3 And thinkest <3049> thou this <5124>, O man <
444>, that
judgest <2919> them which do <4238> such <5108>
things, and
doest <4160> the same <846>, that thou shalt escape
<1628> the
judgment <2917> of God <2316>?
4 Or <2228> despisest <2706> thou the riches <
4149> of his
goodness <5544> and forbearance <463> and
longsuffering <3115>;
not knowing <50> that the goodness <5543> of God <
2316> leadeth
<71> thee to repentance <3341>?
5 But after <2596> thy hardness <4643> and
impenitent <279>
