Romans 1



1. Paul <3972>, a servant <1401> of Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, called <2822> [to be] an apostle < 0652>, separated <0873> unto the gospel <2098> of God < 2316>,

2 (Which he had promised <4279> afore <4279> by his prophets <4396> in the holy <0040> 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 <0042>, by the resurrection <0386> from the dead <3498>:

5 By whom <3739> we have received <2983> grace < 5485> and apostleship <0651>, 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 < 0027> of God <2316>, called <2822> [to be] saints < 0040>: 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 <0089> ceasing <0089> 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 <0240> faith <4102> both < 5037> of you and me.

13 Now <1161> I would <2309> not have you ignorant <0050>, brethren <0080>, 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 <0915>; both < 5037> to the wise <4680>, and to the unwise <0453>.

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 <0846> is the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> revealed <0601> 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 <0601> from heaven <3772> against <1909> all <3956> ungodliness <0763> and unrighteousness <0093> of men < 0444>, who <3588> hold <2722> the truth <0225> in unrighteousness <0093>;

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 <0517> 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 <0126> power <1411> and Godhead <2305>; so <1519> that they are without <0379> excuse <0379>:

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 <0801> heart <2588> was darkened <4654>.

22 Professing <5335> themselves to be wise <4680>, they became <3471> fools <3471>,

23 And changed <0236> the glory <1391> of the uncorruptible <0862> God <2316> into <1722> an image < 1504> made like <3667> to corruptible <5349> man < 0444>, 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 <0167> through <1722> the lusts <1939> of their own hearts <2588>, to dishonour < 0818> their own bodies <4983> between <1722> themselves < 1438>:

25 Who <3748> changed <3337> the truth <0225> 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 <0165>. Amen <0281>.

26 For this <5124> cause <1223> God <2316> gave <3860> them up unto vile <0819> 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 < 0730>, leaving <0863> the natural <5446> use <5540> of the woman <2338>, burned <1572> in their lust <3715> one <0240> toward <1519> another <0240>; men <0730> with men <0730> working <2716> that which is unseemly < 0808>, and receiving <0618> in themselves <1438> that recompence <0489> 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 <0096> mind <3563>, to do <4160> those <3588> things which are not convenient <2520>;

29 Being filled <4137> with all <3956> unrighteousness <0093>, 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 < 0213>, inventors <2182> of evil <2556> things, disobedient <0545> to parents <1118>,

31 Without <0801> understanding <0801>, covenantbreakers <0802>, without <0794> natural affection < 0794>, implacable <0786>, unmerciful <0415>:

32 Who <3748> knowing <1921> the judgment < 1345> of God <2316>, that they which commit <4238> such < 5108> things are worthy <0514> of death <2288>, not only <3440> do the same <0846>, but have pleasure <4909> in them that do <4238> them.

Romans 2

1. Therefore <1352> thou art <1488> inexcusable < 0379>, O man <0444>, 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 <0846> things.

2 But we are sure <1492> that the judgment <2917> of God <2316> is according <2596> to truth <0225> against <1909> them which commit <4238> such <5108> things.

3 And thinkest <3049> thou this <5124>, O man < 0444>, that judgest <2919> them which do <4238> such < 5108> things, and doest <4160> the same <0846>, 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 <0463> and longsuffering <3115>; not knowing <0050> that the goodness < 5543> of God <2316> leadeth <0071> thee to repentance < 3341>?

5 But after <2596> thy hardness <4643> and impenitent <0279> heart <2588> treasurest <2343> up unto thyself <4572> wrath <3709> against <1722> the day < 2250> of wrath <3709> and revelation <0602> of the righteous <1341> judgment <1341> of God <2316>;

6 Who <3739> will render <0591> to every < 1538> man according <2596> to his deeds <2041>:

7 To them who by patient <5281> continuance <5281> in well <0018> doing <2041> seek <2212> for glory < 1391> and honour <5092> and immortality <0861>, eternal < 0166> life <2222>:

8 But unto them that are contentious <2052>, and do not obey <0544> the truth <0225>, but obey <3982> unrighteousness <0093>, indignation <2372> and wrath < 3709>,

9 Tribulation <2347> and anguish <4730>, upon every <3956> soul <5590> of man <0444> that doeth evil < 2556>, of the Jew <2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> of the Gentile <1672>;

10 But glory <1391>, honour <5092>, and peace < 1515>, to every <3956> man <3956> that worketh <2038> good <0018>, to the Jew <2453> first <4412>, and also <2532> to the Gentile <1672>:

11 For there is no <3756> respect <4382> of persons <4382> with God <2316>.

12 For as many <3745> as have sinned <0264> without <0460> law <0460> shall also <2532> perish <0622> without <0460> law <0460>: and as many <3745> as have sinned <0264> in the law <3551> shall be judged <2919> by the law <3551>;

13 (For not the hearers <0202> of the law <3551> [are] just <1342> before <3844> God <2316>, but the doers <4163> of the law <3551> shall be justified <1344>.

14 For when <3752> the Gentiles <1484>, which < 3588> have <2192> not the law <3551>, do <4160> by nature <5449> the things contained in the law <3551>, these <3778>, having <2192> not the law <3551>, are a law < 3551> unto themselves <1438>:

15 Which <3748> shew <1731> the work <2041> of the law <3551> written <1123> in their hearts <2588>, their conscience <4893> also <4828> bearing <4828> witness <4828>, and [their] thoughts <3053> the mean < 3342> while accusing <2723> or <2228> else <2532> excusing <0626> one <0240> another <0240>;)

16 In the day <2250> when <3753> God <2316> shall judge <2919> the secrets <2927> of men <0444> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> according <2596> to my gospel <2098>.

17. Behold <2396>, thou art called <2028> a Jew < 2453>, and restest <1879> in the law <3551>, and makest < 2744> thy boast <2744> of God <2316>,

18 And knowest <1097> [his] will <2307>, and approvest <1381> the things that are more excellent <1308>, being instructed <2727> out of the law <3551>;

19 And art confident <3982> that thou thyself <4572> art a guide <3595> of the blind <5185>, a light <5457> of them which are in darkness <4655>,

20 An instructor <3810> of the foolish <0878>, a teacher <1320> of babes <3516>, which hast <2192> the form <3446> of knowledge <1108> and of the truth <0225> in the law <3551>.

21 Thou therefore <3767> which <3588> teachest < 1321> another <2087>, teachest <1321> thou not thyself < 4572>? thou that preachest <2784> a man should not steal < 2813>, dost thou steal <2813>?

22 Thou that sayest <3004> a man should not commit < 3431> adultery <3431>, dost thou commit <3431> adultery < 3431>? thou that abhorrest <0948> idols <1497>, dost thou commit <2416> sacrilege <2416>?

23 Thou that makest <2744> thy boast <2744> of the law <3551>, through <1223> breaking <3847> the law < 3551> dishonourest <0818> thou God <2316>?

24 For the name <3686> of God <2316> is blasphemed <0987> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484> through < 1223> you, as it is written <1125>.

25 For circumcision <4061> verily <3303> profiteth <5623>, if <1437> thou keep <4238> the law <3551>: but if <1437> thou be a breaker <3848> of the law <3551>, thy circumcision <4061> is made <1096> uncircumcision < 0203>.

26 Therefore <3767> if <1437> the uncircumcision <0203> keep <5442> the righteousness <1345> of the law <3551>, shall not his uncircumcision <0203> be counted < 3049> for circumcision <4061>?

27 And shall not uncircumcision <0203> which is by nature <5449>, if it fulfil <5055> the law <3551>, judge < 2919> thee, who <3588> by the letter <1121> and circumcision <4061> dost transgress <3848> the law <3551> ?

28 For he is not a Jew <2453>, which is one outwardly < 5318>; neither <3761> [is that] circumcision <4061>, which is outward <5318> in the flesh <4561>:

29 But he [is] a Jew <2453>, which is one inwardly < 2927>; and circumcision <4061> [is that] of the heart <2588> , in the spirit <4151>, [and] not in the letter <1121>; whose <3739> praise <1868> [is] not of men <0444>, but of God <2316>.

Romans 3

1. What <5101> advantage <4053> then <3767> hath the Jew <2453>? or <2228> what <5101> profit < 5622> [is there] of circumcision <4061>?

2 Much <4183> every <3956> way <5158>: chiefly <4412>, because <3754> that unto them were committed <4100> the oracles <3051> of God <2316>.

3 For what <5101> if <1487> some <5100> did not believe <0569>? shall their unbelief <0570> make < 2673> the faith <4102> of God <2316> without <2673> effect <2673>?

4 God <1096> forbid <1096>: yea <1161>, let God <2316> be true <0227>, but every <3956> man < 0444> a liar <5583>; as it is written <1125>, That thou mightest be justified <1344> in thy sayings <3056>, and mightest overcome <3528> when <3588> thou art judged < 2919>.

5 But if <1487> our unrighteousness <0093> commend <4921> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316>, what < 5101> shall we say <2046>? [Is] God <2316> unrighteous < 0094> who <3588> taketh <2018> vengeance <3709>? (I speak <3004> as a man <0444>)

6 God <1096> forbid <1096>: for then how < 4459> shall God <2316> judge <2919> the world <2889>?

7 For if <1487> the truth <0225> of God <2316> hath more abounded <4052> through <1722> my lie <5582> unto his glory <1391>; why <5101> yet <2089> am I also <2504> judged <2919> as a sinner <0268>?

8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously <0987> reported <0987>, and as some <5100> affirm <5346> that we say <3004>,) Let us do <4160> evil <2556>, that good <0018> may come <2064>? whose <3739> damnation < 2917> is just <1738>.

9 What <5101> then <3767>? are we better < 4284> [than they]? No <3756>, in no <3843> wise <3843> : for we have before <4256> proved <4256> both <5037> Jews <2453> and Gentiles <1672>, that they are all <3956> under <5259> sin <0266>;

10 As it is written <1125>, There is none <3756> righteous <1342>, no, not one <1520>:

11 There is none <3756> that understandeth <4920>, there is none <3756> that seeketh <1567> after <1567> God <2316>.

12 They are all <3956> gone <1578> out of the way, they are together <0260> become <0889> unprofitable < 0889>; there is none <3756> that doeth <4160> good < 5544>, no, not one <1520>.

13 Their throat <2995> [is] an open <0455> sepulchre <5028>; with their tongues <1100> they have used < 1387> deceit <1387>; the poison <2447> of asps <0785> [is] under <5259> their lips <5491>:

14 Whose <3739> mouth <4750> [is] full <1073> of cursing <0685> and bitterness <4088>:

15 Their feet <4228> [are] swift <3691> to shed < 1632> blood <0129>:

16 Destruction <4938> and misery <5004> [are] in their ways <3598>:

17 And the way <3598> of peace <1515> have they not known <1097>:

18 There is no <3756> fear <5401> of God < 2316> before <0561> their eyes <3788>.

19. Now <1161> we know <1492> that what <3745> things soever <1437> the law <3551> saith <3004>, it saith <2980> to them who are under <1722> the law <3551>: that every <3956> mouth <4750> may be stopped <5420>, and all <3956> the world <2889> may become <1096> guilty <5267> before God <2316>.

20 Therefore <1360> by the deeds <2041> of the law <3551> there shall no <3956> flesh <4561> be justified <1344> in his sight <1799>: for by the law <3551> [is] the knowledge <1922> of sin <0266>.

21 But now <3568> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> without <5565> the law <3551> is manifested < 5319>, being witnessed <3140> by the law <3551> and the prophets <4396>;

22 Even <1161> the righteousness <1343> of God < 2316> [which is] by faith <4102> of Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547> unto all <3956> and upon all <3956> them that believe <4100>: for there is no <3756> difference <1293>:

23 For all <3956> have sinned <0264>, and come < 5302> short <5302> of the glory <1391> of God <2316>;

24 Being justified <1344> freely <1432> by his grace <5485> through <1223> the redemption <0629> that is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

25 Whom <3739> God <2316> hath set <4388> forth <4388> [to be] a propitiation <2435> through <1223> faith <4102> in his blood <0129>, to declare <1732> his righteousness <1343> for the remission <3929> of sins < 0265> that are past <4266>, through <1722> the forbearance <0463> of God <2316>;

26 To declare <1732>, [I say], at <1722> this < 3568> time <2540> his righteousness <1343>: that he might be just <1342>, and the justifier <1344> of him which believeth <4102> in Jesus <2424>.

27 Where <4226> [is] boasting <2746> then < 3767>? It is excluded <1576>. By what <4169> law < 3551>? of works <2041>? Nay <3780>: but by the law < 3551> of faith <4102>.

28 Therefore <3767> we conclude <3049> that a man <0444> is justified <1344> by faith <4102> without < 5565> the deeds <2041> of the law <3551>.

29 [Is he] the God <2316> of the Jews <2453> only <3440>? [is he] not also <2532> of the Gentiles <1484>? Yes <3483>, of the Gentiles <1484> also <2532>:

30 Seeing <1897> [it is] one <1520> God <2316> , which <3739> shall justify <1344> the circumcision < 4061> by faith <4102>, and uncircumcision <0203> through <1223> faith <4102>.

31 Do we then <3767> make <2673> void <2673> the law <3551> through <1223> faith <4102>? God < 1096> forbid <1096>: yea <0235>, we establish <2476> the law <3551>.

Romans 4

1. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> that Abraham <0011>our father <3962>, as pertaining to the flesh <4561>, hath found <2147>?

2 For if <1487> Abraham <0011>were justified < 1344> by works <2041>, he hath <2192> [whereof] to glory <2745>; but not before <4314> God <2316>.

3 For what <5101> saith <3004> the scripture < 1124>? Abraham <0011>believed <4100> God <2316>, and it was counted <3049> unto him for righteousness <1343>.

4 Now <1161> to him that worketh <2038> is the reward <3408> not reckoned <3049> of grace <5485>, but of debt <3783>.

5 But to him that worketh <2038> not, but believeth < 4100> on <1909> him that justifieth <1344> the ungodly < 0765>, his faith <4102> is counted <3049> for righteousness <1343>.

6 Even <2509> as David <1138> also <2532> describeth <3004> the blessedness <3108> of the man < 0444>, unto whom <3739> God <2316> imputeth <3049> righteousness <1343> without <5565> works <2041>,

7 [Saying], Blessed <3107> [are] they whose <3739> iniquities <0458> are forgiven <0863>, and whose <3739> sins <0266> are covered <1943>.

8 Blessed <3107> [is] the man <0435> to whom < 3739> the Lord <2962> will not impute <3049> sin < 0266>.

9. [Cometh] this <3778> blessedness <3108> then < 3767> upon the circumcision <4061> [only], or <2228> upon the uncircumcision <0203> also <2532>? for we say <3004> that faith <4102> was reckoned <3049> to Abraham <0011> for righteousness <1343>.

10 How <4459> was it then <3767> reckoned < 3049>? when he was in circumcision <4061>, or <2228> in uncircumcision <0203>? Not in circumcision <4061>, but in uncircumcision <0203>.

11 And he received <2983> the sign <4592> of circumcision <4061>, a seal <4973> of the righteousness < 1343> of the faith <4102> which <3588> [he had yet] being uncircumcised <0203>: that he might be the father <3962> of all <3956> them that believe <4100>, though <1223> they be not circumcised <0203>; that righteousness <1343> might be imputed <3049> unto them also <2532>:

12 And the father <3962> of circumcision <4061> to them who <3588> are not of the circumcision <4061> only < 3440>, but who <3588> also <2532> walk <4748> in the steps <2487> of that faith <4102> of our father <3962> Abraham <11>, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised <0203>.

13 For the promise <1860>, that he should be the heir < 2818> of the world <2889>, [was] not to Abraham <11>, or <2228> to his seed <4690>, through <1223> the law < 3551>, but through <1223> the righteousness <1343> of faith <4102>.

14 For if <1487> they which are of the law <3551> [be] heirs <2818>, faith <4102> is made <2758> void < 2758>, and the promise <1860> made <2673> of none < 2673> effect <2673>:

15 Because <1063> the law <3551> worketh < 2716> wrath <3709>: for where <3757> no <3756> law <3551> is, [there is] no <3761> transgression <3847>.

16 Therefore <5124> [it is] of faith <4102>, that [it might be] by grace <5485>; to the end <1519> the promise <1860> might be sure <0949> to all <3956> the seed < 4690>; not to that only <3440> which is of the law <3551>, but to that also <2532> which is of the faith <4102> of Abraham <11>; who <3739> is the father <3962> of us all <3956>,

17. (As it is written <1125>, I have made <5087> thee a father <3962> of many <4183> nations <1484>,) before <2713> him whom <3739> he believed <4100>, [even] God <2316>, who <3588> quickeneth <2227> the dead < 3498>, and calleth <2564> those <3588> things which be not as though they were.

18 Who <3739> against <3844> hope <1680> believed <4100> in hope <1680>, that he might become < 1096> the father <3962> of many <4183> nations <1484>, according <2596> to that which was spoken <2046>, So < 3779> shall thy seed <4690> be.

19 And being not weak <0770> in faith <4102>, he considered <2657> not his own <1438> body <4983> now < 2236> dead <3499>, when he was about <4225> an hundred < 1541> years <1541> old <1541>, neither yet the deadness < 3500> of Sara's <4564> womb <3388>:

20 He staggered <1252> not at <1519> the promise <1860> of God <2316> through unbelief <0570>; but was strong <1743> in faith <4102>, giving glory <1391> to God <2316>;

21 And being fully <4135> persuaded <4135> that, what <3739> he had promised <1861>, he was able <1415> also <2532> to perform <4160>.

22 And therefore <1352> it was imputed <3049> to him for righteousness <1343>.

23. Now <1161> it was not written <1125> for his sake alone <3440>, that it was imputed <3049> to him;

24 But for us also <2532>, to whom <3739> it shall be imputed <3049>, if we believe <4100> on <1909> him that raised <1453> up Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962> from the dead <3498>;

25 Who <3739> was delivered <3860> for our offences <3900>, and was raised <1453> again <1453> for our justification <1347>.

Romans 5

1. Therefore <3767> being justified <1344> by faith <4102>, we have <2192> peace <1515> with God <2316> through <1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547>:

2 By whom <3739> also <2532> we have <2192> access <4318> by faith <4102> into <1519> this < 5026> grace <5485> wherein <3757> we stand <2476>, and rejoice <2744> in hope <1680> of the glory <1391> of God <2316>.

3 And not only <3440> [so], but we glory <2744> in tribulations <2347> also <2532>: knowing <1492> that tribulation <2347> worketh <2716> patience <5281>;

4 And patience <5281>, experience <1382>; and experience <1382>, hope <1680>:

5 And hope <1680> maketh <2617> not ashamed < 2617>; because <3754> the love <0026> of God <2316> is shed <1632> abroad <1632> in our hearts <2588> by the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151> which <3588> is given < 1325> unto us.

6. For when we were yet <2089> without <0772> strength <0772>, in due time <2540> Christ <5547> died <0599> for the ungodly <0765>.

7 For scarcely <3433> for a righteous <1342> man will one <5100> die <0599>: yet <1063> peradventure < 5029> for a good <0018> man some <5100> would even dare < 5111> to die <0599>.

8 But God <2316> commendeth <4921> his love < 0026> toward <1519> us, in that, while we were yet <2089> sinners <0268>, Christ <5547> died <0599> for us.

9 Much <4183> more <3123> then <3767>, being now <3568> justified <1344> by his blood <0129>, we shall be saved <4982> from wrath <3709> through <1223> him.

10 For if <1477>, when we were enemies <2190>, we were reconciled <2644> to God <2316> by the death <2288> of his Son <5207>, much <4183> more <3123>, being reconciled <2644>, we shall be saved <4982> by his life < 2222>.

11 And not only <3440> [so], but we also <2532> joy <2744> in God <2316> through <1223> our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by whom <3739> we have now <3568> received <2983> the atonement <2643>.

12 Wherefore <5124>, as by one <1520> man < 0444> sin <0266> entered <1525> into <1519> the world <2889>, and death <2288> by sin <0266>; and so < 3779> death <2288> passed <1330> upon all <3956> men <0444>, for that all <3956> have sinned <0264>:

13 (For until <0891> the law <3551> sin <0266> was in the world <2889>: but sin <0266> is not imputed < 1677> when there is no <3361> law <3551>.

14 Nevertheless <0235> death <2288> reigned < 0936> from Adam <0076> to Moses <3475>, even <2532> over <1909> them that had not sinned <0264> after <1909> the similitude <3667> of Adam's <0076> transgression < 3847>, who <3739> is the figure <5179> of him that was to come <3195>.

15 But not as the offence <3900>, so <3779> also <2532> [is] the free <5486> gift <5486>. For if < 1477> through the offence <3900> of one <1520> many < 4183> be dead <0599>, much <4183> more <3123> the grace <5485> of God <2316>, and the gift <1431> by grace <5485>, [which <3588> is] by one <1520> man, Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>, hath abounded <4052> unto many < 4183>.

16 And not as [it was] by one <1520> that sinned < 0264>, [so is] the gift <1434>: for the judgment <2917> [was] by one <1520> to condemnation <2631>, but the free < 5486> gift <5486> [is] of many <4183> offences <3900> unto justification <1345>.

17 For if <1477> by one <1520> man's offence < 3900> death <2288> reigned <0936> by one <1520>; much <4183> more <3123> they which receive <2983> abundance <4050> of grace <5485> and of the gift <1431> of righteousness <1343> shall reign <0936> in life <2222> by one <1520>, Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.)

18 Therefore <3767> as by the offence <3900> of one <1520> [judgment came] upon all <3956> men <0444> to condemnation <2631>; even <2532> so <3779> by the righteousness <1345> of one <1520> [the free gift came] upon all <3956> men <0444> unto justification <1347> of life <2222>.

19 For as by one <1520> man's <0444> disobedience <3876> many <4183> were made <2525> sinners <0268>, so <3779> by the obedience <5218> of one <1520> shall many <4183> be made <2525> righteous <1342>.

20 Moreover <1161> the law <3551> entered < 3922>, that the offence <3900> might abound <4121>. But where <3757> sin <0266> abounded <4121>, grace < 5485> did much <5248> more abound <5248>:

21 That as sin <0266> hath reigned <0936> unto death <2288>, even <2532> so <3779> might grace < 5485> reign <0936> through <1223> righteousness <1343> unto eternal <0166> life <2222> by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.

Romans 6

1. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> ? Shall we continue <1961> in sin <0266>, that grace < 5485> may abound <4121>?

2 God <1096> forbid <1096>. How <4459> shall we, that are dead <0599> to sin <0266>, live <2198> any <2089> longer <2089> therein <0846>?

3 Know <0050> ye not, that so <3745> many < 3745> of us as were baptized <0907> into <1519> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547> were baptized <0907> into <1519> his death <2288>?

4 Therefore <3767> we are buried <4916> with him by baptism <0908> into <1519> death <2288>: that like < 5618> as Christ <5547> was raised <1453> up from the dead <3498> by the glory <1391> of the Father <3962>, even so <3779> we also <2532> should walk <4043> in newness < 2538> of life <2222>.

5 For if <1477> we have been planted <4854> together <4854> in the likeness <3667> of his death < 2288>, we shall be also <2532> [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection <0386>:

6 Knowing <1097> this <5124>, that our old < 3820> man <0444> is crucified <4957> with [him], that the body <4983> of sin <0266> might be destroyed <2673>, that henceforth <3371> we should not serve <1398> sin < 0266>.

7 For he that is dead <0599> is freed <1344> from sin <0266>.

8 Now <1161> if <1477> we be dead <0599> with Christ <5547>, we believe <4100> that we shall also < 2532> live <4800> with him:

9 Knowing <1492> that Christ <5547> being raised <1453> from the dead <3498> dieth <0599> no <3765> more <2089>; death <2288> hath no <3765> more < 3765> dominion <2961> over him.

10 For in that he died <0599>, he died <0599> unto sin <0266> once <2178>: but in that he liveth <2198>, he liveth <2198> unto God <2316>.

11 Likewise <3779> reckon <3049> ye also < 2532> yourselves <1438> to be dead <3498> indeed < 3303> unto sin <0266>, but alive <2198> unto God < 2316> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.

12 Let not sin <0266> therefore <3767> reign < 0936> in your <5216> mortal <2349> body <4983>, that ye should obey <5219> it in the lusts <1939> thereof < 0846>.

13 Neither <3366> yield <3936> ye your <5216> members <3196> [as] instruments <3696> of unrighteousness < 0093> unto sin <0266>: but yield <3936> yourselves < 1438> unto God <2316>, as those that are alive <2198> from the dead <3498>, and your <5216> members <3196> [as] instruments <3696> of righteousness <1343> unto God < 2316>.

14 For sin <0266> shall not have dominion <2961> over you: for ye are not under <5259> the law <3551>, but under <5259> grace <5485>.

15 What <5101> then <3767>? shall we sin < 0264>, because <3754> we are not under <5259> the law < 3551>, but under <5259> grace <5485>? God <1096> forbid <1096>.

16 Know <1492> ye not, that to whom <3739> ye yield <3936> yourselves <1438> servants <1401> to obey < 5218>, his servants <1401> ye are to whom <3739> ye obey <5219>; whether <2273> of sin <0266> unto death < 2288>, or <2228> of obedience <5218> unto righteousness < 1343>?

17 But God <2316> be thanked <5485>, that ye were the servants <1401> of sin <0266>, but ye have obeyed < 5219> from the heart <2588> that form <5179> of doctrine <1322> which <3739> was delivered <3860> you.

18 Being then <1161> made <1659> free <1659> from sin <0266>, ye became <1402> the servants <1402> of righteousness <1343>.

19 I speak <3004> after the manner <0442> of men <0442> because <1223> of the infirmity <0769> of your <5216> flesh <4561>: for as ye have yielded <3936> your <5216> members <3196> servants <1401> to uncleanness < 0167> and to iniquity <0458> unto iniquity <0458>; even < 3779> so <3779> now <3568> yield <3936> your < 5216> members <3196> servants <1401> to righteousness < 1343> unto holiness <0038>.

20 For when <3753> ye were the servants <1401> of sin <0266>, ye were free <1658> from righteousness <1343> .

21 What <5101> fruit <2590> had <2192> ye then <3767> in those things whereof <3739> ye are now < 3568> ashamed <1870>? for the end <5056> of those < 1565> things [is] death <2288>.

22 But now <3570> being made <1659> free < 1659> from sin <0266>, and become <1402> servants < 1402> to God <2316>, ye have <2192> your <5216> fruit <2590> unto holiness <0038>, and the end <5056> everlasting <0166> life <2222>.

23 For the wages <3800> of sin <0266> [is] death <2288>; but the gift <5486> of God <2316> [is] eternal <0166> life <2222> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>.

Romans 7

1. Know <0050> ye not, brethren <0080>, (for I speak <2980> to them that know <1097> the law <3551>,) how that the law <3551> hath dominion <2961> over a man < 0444> as long <5550> as he liveth <2198>?

2 For the woman <1135> which hath <5220> an husband <5220> is bound <1210> by the law <3551> to [her] husband <0435> so long as he liveth <2198>; but if <1437> the husband <0435> be dead <0599>, she is loosed <2673> from the law <3551> of [her] husband <0435>.

3 So <0686> then <0686> if <1437>, while [her] husband <0435> liveth <2198>, she be married <1096> to another <2087> man <0435>, she shall be called <5537> an adulteress <3428>: but if <1437> her husband <0435> be dead <0599>, she is free <1658> from that law <3551>; so that she is no <3361> adulteress <3428>, though she be married <1096> to another <2087> man <0435>.

4 Wherefore <5620>, my brethren <0080>, ye also < 2532> are become <2289> dead <2289> to the law <3551> by the body <4983> of Christ <5547>; that ye should be married <1096> to another <2087>, [even] to him who is raised < 1453> from the dead <3498>, that we should bring <2592> forth fruit <2592> unto God <2316>.

5 For when <3753> we were in the flesh <4561>, the motions <3804> of sins <0266>, which <3588> were by the law <3551>, did work <1754> in our members <3196> to bring <2592> forth fruit <2592> unto death <2288>.

6 But now <3570> we are delivered <2673> from the law <3551>, that being dead <0599> wherein <3757> we were held <2722>; that we should serve <1398> in newness < 2538> of spirit <4151>, and not [in] the oldness <3821> of the letter <1121>.

7. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> ? [Is] the law <3551> sin <0266>? God <1096> forbid < 1096>. Nay <0235>, I had not known <1097> sin <0266>, but by the law <3551>: for I had not known <1492> lust < 1939>, except <1508> the law <3551> had said <3004>, Thou shalt not covet <1937>.

8 But sin <0266>, taking <2983> occasion < 0874> by the commandment <1785>, wrought <2716> in me all <3956> manner of concupiscence <1939>. For without <5565> the law <3551> sin <0266> [was] dead <3498>.

9 For I was alive <2198> without <5565> the law < 3551> once <4218>: but when the commandment <1785> came < 2064>, sin <0266> revived <0326>, and I died <0599>.

10 And the commandment <1785>, which <3588> [was ordained] to life <2222>, I found <2147> [to be] unto death <2288>.

11 For sin <0266>, taking <2983> occasion < 0874> by the commandment <1785>, deceived <1818> me, and by it slew <0615> [me].

12 Wherefore <5620> the law <3551> [is] holy < 0040>, and the commandment <1785> holy <0040>, and just < 1342>, and good <0018>.

13 Was then <3767> that which is good <0018> made <1096> death <2288> unto me? God <1096> forbid < 1096>. But sin <0266>, that it might appear <5316> sin < 0266>, working <2716> death <2288> in me by that which is good <0018>; that sin <0266> by the commandment <1785> might become <1096> exceeding <5236> sinful <0268>.

14. For we know <1492> that the law <3551> is spiritual <4152>: but I am <1510> carnal <4559>, sold <4097> under <5259> sin <0266>.

15 For that which <3739> I do <2716> I allow < 1097> not: for what <3739> I would <2309>, that do < 4238> I not; but what <3739> I hate <3404>, that do < 4160> I.

16 If <1487> then <1161> I do <4160> that which <3739> I would <2309> not, I consent <4852> unto the law <3551> that [it is] good <2570>.

17 Now <3570> then <1161> it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <0266> that dwelleth <3611> in me.

18 For I know <1492> that in me (that is, in my flesh < 4561>,) dwelleth <3611> no <3756> good <0018> thing: for to will <2309> is present <3873> with me; but [how] to perform <2716> that which is good <2570> I find <2147> not.

19 For the good <0018> that I would <2309> I do < 4160> not: but the evil <2556> which <3739> I would < 2309> not, that I do <4238>.

20 Now <1161> if <1487> I do <4160> that I would <2309> not, it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <0266> that dwelleth <3611> in me.

21 I find <2147> then <0686> a law <3551>, that, when I would <2309> do <4160> good <2570>, evil <2556> is present <3873> with me.

22 For I delight <4913> in the law <3551> of God <2316> after <2596> the inward <2080> man <0444>:

23 But I see <0991> another <2087> law <3551> in my members <3196>, warring <0497> against <0497> the law <3551> of my mind <3563>, and bringing <0163> me into captivity <0163> to the law <3551> of sin <0266> which <3588> is in my members <3196>.

24 O wretched <5005> man <0444> that I am! who < 5101> shall deliver <4506> me from the body <4983> of this <5127> death <2288>?

25 I thank <2168> God <2316> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>. So < 0686> then <0686> with the mind <3563> I myself serve < 1398> the law <3551> of God <2316>; but with the flesh < 4561> the law <3551> of sin <0266>.

Romans 8

1. [There is] therefore <0686> now <3568> no < 3762> condemnation <2631> to them which are in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who walk <4043> not after <2596> the flesh <4561>, but after <2596> the Spirit <4151>.

2 For the law <3551> of the Spirit <4151> of life <2222> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> hath made < 1659> me free <1659> from the law <3551> of sin <0266> and death <2288>.

3 For what <3588> the law <3551> could <0102> not do, in that it was weak <0770> through <1223> the flesh <4561>, God <2316> sending <3992> his own <1438> Son <5207> in the likeness <3667> of sinful <0266> flesh <4561>, and for sin <0266>, condemned <2632> sin < 0266> in the flesh <4561>:

4 That the righteousness <1345> of the law <3551> might be fulfilled <4137> in us, who walk <4043> not after < 2596> the flesh <4561>, but after <2596> the Spirit < 4151>.

5 For they that are after <2596> the flesh <4561> do mind <5426> the things of the flesh <4561>; but they that are after <2596> the Spirit <4151> the things of the Spirit <4151>.

6 For to be carnally <4561> minded <5427> [is] death <2288>; but to be spiritually <4151> minded <5427> [is] life <2222> and peace <1515>.

7 Because <1360> the carnal <4561> mind <5427> [is] enmity <2189> against <1519> God <2316>: for it is not subject <5293> to the law <3551> of God <2316>, neither <3761> indeed <1063> can <1410> be.

8 So then <1161> they that are in the flesh <4561> cannot <1410> please <0700> God <2316>.

9 But ye are not in the flesh <4561>, but in the Spirit <4151>, if <1512> so be that the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwell <3611> in you. Now <1161> if <1487> any <5100> man have <2192> not the Spirit <4151> of Christ <5547>, he is none <3756> of his.

10. And if <1487> Christ <5547> [be] in you, the body <4983> [is] dead <3498> because <1223> of sin < 0266>; but the Spirit <4151> [is] life <2222> because < 1223> of righteousness <1343>.

11 But if <1437> the Spirit <4151> of him that raised <1453> up Jesus <2424> from the dead <3498> dwell <3611> in you, he that raised <1453> up Christ <5547> from the dead <3498> shall also <2532> quicken <2227> your <5216> mortal <2349> bodies <4983> by his Spirit <4151> that dwelleth <1774> in you.

12 Therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, we are debtors <3781>, not to the flesh <4561>, to live <2198> after <2596> the flesh <4561>.

13 For if <1437> ye live <2198> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, ye shall die <0599>: but if <1487> ye through the Spirit <4151> do mortify <2289> the deeds < 4234> of the body <4983>, ye shall live <2198>.

14 For as many <3745> as are led <0071> by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, they are the sons <5207> of God <2316>.

15 For ye have not received <2983> the spirit <4151> of bondage <1397> again <3825> to fear <5401>; but ye have received <2983> the Spirit <4151> of adoption <5206> , whereby <3739> we cry <2896>, Abba <0005>, Father < 3962>.

16 The Spirit <4151> itself <0846> beareth < 4828> witness <4828> with our spirit <4151>, that we are the children <5043> of God <2316>:

17. And if <1487> children <5043>, then <2535> heirs <2818>; heirs <2818> of God <2316>, and joint- heirs <4789> with Christ <5547>; if <1512> so be that we suffer <4841> with [him], that we may be also <2532> glorified <4888> together <4888>.

18 For I reckon <3049> that the sufferings <3804> of this <3588> present <3568> time <2540> [are] not worthy <0514> [to be compared] with the glory <1391> which shall be revealed <0601> in us.

19 For the earnest <0603> expectation <0603> of the creature <2937> waiteth <0553> for the manifestation < 0602> of the sons <5207> of God <2316>.

20 For the creature <2937> was made <5293> subject <5293> to vanity <3153>, not willingly <1635>, but by reason <1223> of him who hath subjected <5293> [the same] in hope <1680>,

21 Because <3754> the creature <2937> itself < 0846> also <2532> shall be delivered <1659> from the bondage <1397> of corruption <5356> into <1519> the glorious <1391> liberty <1657> of the children <5043> of God <2316>.

22 For we know <1492> that the whole <3956> creation <2937> groaneth <4959> and travaileth <4944> in pain together <4944> until <0891> now <3568>.

23 And not only <3440> [they], but ourselves also < 2532>, which have <2192> the firstfruits <0536> of the Spirit <4151>, even <2532> we ourselves groan <4727> within <1722> ourselves <1438>, waiting <0553> for the adoption <5206>, [to wit], the redemption <0629> of our body <4983>.

24 For we are saved <4982> by hope <1680>: but hope <1680> that is seen <0991> is not hope <1680>: for what a man <5100> seeth <0991>, why <5101> doth he yet hope <1679> for?

25 But if <1487> we hope <1679> for that we see < 0991> not, [then] do we with patience <5281> wait <0553> for [it].

26. Likewise <5615> the Spirit <4151> also < 2532> helpeth <4878> our infirmities <0769>: for we know <1492> not what <5101> we should pray <4336> for as we ought <1163>: but the Spirit <4151> itself <0846> maketh <5241> intercession <5241> for us with groanings <4726> which cannot <0215> be uttered <0215>.

27 And he that searcheth <2045> the hearts <2588> knoweth <1492> what <5101> [is] the mind <5427> of the Spirit <4151>, because <3754> he maketh <1793> intercession <1793> for the saints <0040> according < 2596> to [the will of] God <2316>.

28 And we know <1492> that all <3956> things work <4903> together <4903> for good <0018> to them that love <0025> God <2316>, to them who are the called <2822> according <2596> to [his] purpose <4286>.

29. For whom <3739> he did foreknow <4267>, he also <2532> did predestinate <4309> [to be] conformed <4832> to the image <1504> of his Son <5207>, that he might be the firstborn <4416> among <1722> many <4183> brethren < 0080>.

30 Moreover <1161> whom <3739> he did predestinate <4309>, them he also <2532> called <2564>: and whom < 3739> he called <2564>, them he also <2532> justified < 1344>: and whom <3739> he justified <1344>, them he also <2532> glorified <1392>.

31. What <5101> shall we then <3767> say <2046> to these <5023> things? If <1487> God <2316> [be] for us, who <5101> [can be] against <2596> us?

32 He that spared <5339> not his own <2398> Son < 5207>, but delivered <3860> him up for us all <3956>, how <4459> shall he not with him also <2532> freely give < 5483> us all <3956> things?

33 Who <5101> shall lay <1458> any thing to the charge <2596> of God's <2316> elect <1588>? [It is] God <2316> that justifieth <1344>.

34 Who <5101> [is] he that condemneth <2632>? [It is] Christ <5547> that died <0599>, yea <1161> rather <3123>, that is risen <1453> again <1453>, who < 3739> is even <2532> at <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>, who <3739> also <2532> maketh <1793> intercession <1793> for us.

35 Who <5101> shall separate <5562> us from the love <0026> of Christ <5547>? [shall] tribulation <2347>, or <2228> distress <4730>, or <2228> persecution < 1375>, or <2228> famine <3042>, or <2228> nakedness <1132>, or <2228> peril <2794>, or <2228> sword <3162>?

36 As it is written <1125>, For thy sake <1752> we are killed <2289> all <3650> the day <2250> long; we are accounted <3049> as sheep <4263> for the slaughter <4967> .

37 Nay <0235>, in all <3956> these <5125> things we are more <5245> than <5245> conquerors <5245> through <1223> him that loved <0025> us.

38 For I am persuaded <3982>, that neither <3777> death <2288>, nor <3777> life <2222>, nor <3777> angels <0032>, nor <3777> principalities <0746>, nor < 3777> powers <1411>, nor <3777> things present <1764>, nor <3777> things to come <3195>,

39 Nor <3777> height <5313>, nor <3777> depth <0899>, nor <3777> any <5100> other <2087> creature <2937>, shall be able <1410> to separate <5562> us from the love <0026> of God <2316>, which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>.

Romans 9

1. I say <3004> the truth <0225> in Christ < 5547>, I lie <5574> not, my conscience <4893> also < 4828> bearing <4828> me witness <4828> in the Holy < 0040> Ghost <4151>,

2 That I have <2076> great <3173> heaviness < 3077> and continual <0088> sorrow <3601> in my heart < 2588>.

3 For I could wish <2172> that myself <0846> were accursed <0331> from Christ <5547> for my brethren <0080> , my kinsmen <4773> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>:

4 Who <3748> are Israelites <2475>; to whom < 3739> [pertaineth] the adoption <5206>, and the glory <1391> , and the covenants <1242>, and the giving <3548> of the law <3548>, and the service <2999> [of God], and the promises < 1860>;

5 Whose <3739> [are] the fathers <3962>, and of whom <3739> as concerning <2596> the flesh <4561> Christ <5547> [came], who <3588> is over <1909> all <3956> , God <2316> blessed <2128> for ever <0165>. Amen < 0281>.

6. Not as though <3754> the word <3056> of God < 2316> hath taken none <1601> effect <1601>. For they [are] not all <3956> Israel <2474>, which <3588> are of Israel <2474>:

7 Neither <3761>, because <3754> they are the seed <4690> of Abraham <11>, [are they] all <3956> children <5043>: but, In Isaac <2464> shall thy seed <4690> be called <2564>.

8 That is, They which are the children <5043> of the flesh <4561>, these <5023> [are] not the children <5043> of God <2316>: but the children <5043> of the promise < 1860> are counted <3049> for the seed <4690>.

9 For this <3778> [is] the word <3056> of promise <1860>, At <2596> this <5126> time <2540> will I come <2064>, and Sara <4564> shall have <2071> a son < 5207>.

10 And not only <3440> [this]; but when Rebecca < 4479> also <2532> had conceived <2192> by one <1520>, [even] by our father <3962> Isaac <2464>;

11 (For [the children] being not yet <3380> born < 1080>, neither <3366> having done <4238> any <5100> good <0018> or <2228> evil <2556>, that the purpose < 4286> of God <2316> according <2596> to election < 1589> might stand <3306>, not of works <2041>, but of him that calleth <2564>;)

12 It was said <4483> unto her, The elder <3187> shall serve <1398> the younger <1640>.

13 As it is written <1125>, Jacob <2384> have I loved <0025>, but Esau <2269> have I hated <3404>.

14. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> ? [Is there] unrighteousness <0093> with God <2316>? God < 1096> forbid <1096>.

15 For he saith <3004> to Moses <3475>, I will have mercy <1653> on whom <3739> I will have mercy <1653>, and I will have compassion <3627> on whom <3739> I will have compassion <3627>.

16 So <0686> then <0686> [it is] not of him that willeth <2309>, nor <3761> of him that runneth <5143>, but of God <2316> that sheweth <1653> mercy <1653>.

17 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004> unto Pharaoh <5328>, Even for this <5124> same <0846> purpose have I raised <1825> thee up, that I might shew <1731> my power <1411> in thee, and that my name <3686> might be declared <1229> throughout <1722> all <3956> the earth <1093>.

18 Therefore <3767> hath he mercy <1653> on whom <3739> he will <2309> [have mercy], and whom <3739> he will <2309> he hardeneth <4645>.

19 Thou wilt say <2046> then <3767> unto me, Why <5101> doth he yet <2089> find fault <3201>? For who < 5101> hath resisted <0436> his will <1013>?

20 Nay <3304> but, O man <0444>, who <5101> art <1488> thou that repliest <0470> against <0470> God <2316>? Shall the thing <4110> formed <4110> say < 2046> to him that formed <4111> [it], Why <5101> hast thou made <4160> me thus <3779>?

21 Hath <2192> not the potter <2763> power < 1849> over the clay <4081>, of the same <0846> lump < 5445> to make <4160> one vessel <4632> unto honour < 5092>, and another <3739> unto dishonour <0819>?

22 [What] if <1487> God <2316>, willing <2309> to shew <1731> [his] wrath <3709>, and to make <1107> his power <1415> known <1107>, endured <5342> with much <4183> longsuffering <3115> the vessels <4632> of wrath <3709> fitted <2675> to destruction <0684>:

23 And that he might make <1107> known <1107> the riches <4149> of his glory <1391> on <1909> the vessels <4632> of mercy <1656>, which <3739> he had afore < 4282> prepared <4282> unto glory <1391>,

24 Even <2532> us, whom <3739> he hath called < 2564>, not of the Jews <2453> only <3440>, but also < 2532> of the Gentiles <1484>?

25. As he saith <3004> also <2532> in Osee < 5617>, I will call <2564> them my people <2992>, which were not my people <2992>; and her beloved <0025>, which was not beloved <0025>.

26 And it shall come <1511> to pass, [that] in the place <5117> where <3757> it was said <4483> unto them, Ye [are] not my people <2992>; there <1563> shall they be called <2564> the children <5207> of the living <2198> God < 2316>.

27 Esaias <2268> also <1161> crieth <2896> concerning <5228> Israel <2474>, Though <1437> the number <0706> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474> be as the sand <0285> of the sea <2281>, a remnant <2640> shall be saved <4982>:

28 For he will finish <4931> the work <3056>, and cut <4932> [it] short <4932> in righteousness <1343>: because <3754> a short <4932> work <3056> will the Lord <2962> make <4160> upon the earth <1093>.

29 And as Esaias <2268> said <4280> before < 4280>, Except <1508> the Lord <2962> of Sabaoth <4519> had left <1459> us a seed <4690>, we had been <1096> as Sodoma <4670>, and been made <3666> like <3666> unto Gomorrha <1116>.

30. What <5101> shall we say <2046> then <3767> ? That the Gentiles <1484>, which <3588> followed <1377> not after righteousness <1343>, have attained <2638> to righteousness <1343>, even <1161> the righteousness < 1343> which <3588> is of faith <4102>.

31 But Israel <2474>, which followed <1377> after the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>, hath not attained < 5348> to the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>.

32 Wherefore <1302>? Because <3754> [they sought <2212> it] not by faith <4102>, but as it were by the works <2041> of the law <3551>. For they stumbled <4350> at that stumblingstone <4348>;

33 As it is written <1125>, Behold <2400>, I lay <5087> in Sion <4622> a stumblingstone <4348> and rock <4073> of offence <4625>: and whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> on <1909> him shall not be ashamed <2617>.

Romans 10

1. Brethren <0080>, my heart's <2588> desire < 2107> and prayer <1162> to God <2316> for Israel < 2474> is, that they might be saved <4991>.

2 For I bear <3140> them record <3140> that they have <2192> a zeal <2205> of God <2316>, but not according <2596> to knowledge <1922>.

3 For they being ignorant <0050> of God's <2316> righteousness <1343>, and going <2212> about <2212> to establish <2476> their own <2398> righteousness <1343>, have not submitted <5293> themselves unto the righteousness < 1343> of God <2316>.

4 For Christ <5547> [is] the end <5056> of the law <3551> for righteousness <1343> to every <3956> one < 3956> that believeth <4100>.

5 For Moses <3475> describeth <1125> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of the law <3551>, That the man <0444> which doeth <4160> those <0846> things shall live <2198> by them.

6 But the righteousness <1343> which is of faith < 4102> speaketh <3004> on this <3779> wise <3779>, Say <2036> not in thine <4675> heart <2588>, Who <5101> shall ascend <0305> into <1519> heaven <3772>? (that is, to bring <2609> Christ <5547> down <2609> [from above]:)

7 Or <2228>, Who <5101> shall descend <2597> into <1519> the deep <0012>? (that is, to bring <0321> up Christ <5547> again <0321> from the dead <3498>.)

8 But what <5101> saith <3004> it? The word < 4487> is nigh <1451> thee, [even] in thy mouth <4750>, and in thy heart <2588>: that is, the word <4487> of faith < 4102>, which <3739> we preach <2784>;

9 That if <1437> thou shalt confess <3670> with thy mouth <4750> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, and shalt believe <4100> in thine <4675> heart <2588> that God < 2316> hath raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>, thou shalt be saved <4982>.

10 For with the heart <2588> man believeth <4100> unto righteousness <1343>; and with the mouth <4750> confession <3670> is made <3670> unto salvation <4991>.

11 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004>, Whosoever <3588> believeth <4100> on <1909> him shall not be ashamed <2617>.

12. For there is no <3756> difference <1293> between the Jew <2453> and the Greek <1672>: for the same <0846> Lord <2962> over all <3956> is rich <4147> unto all < 3956> that call <1941> upon him.

13 For whosoever <0302> shall call <1941> upon the name <3686> of the Lord <2962> shall be saved <4982>.

14 How <4459> then <3767> shall they call < 1941> on <1941> him in whom <3739> they have not believed <4100>? and how <4459> shall they believe <4100> in him of whom <3739> they have not heard <0191>? and how <4459> shall they hear <0191> without <5565> a preacher <2784>?

15 And how <5613> shall they preach <2784>, except <3362> they be sent <0649>? as it is written <1125>, How beautiful <5611> are the feet <4228> of them that preach < 2097> the gospel <2097> of peace <1515>, and bring < 2097> glad <2097> tidings <2097> of good <0018> things <0018>!

16 But they have not all <3956> obeyed <5219> the gospel <2098>. For Esaias <2268> saith <3004>, Lord < 2962>, who <5101> hath believed <4100> our report < 0189>?

17 So <0686> then <0686> faith <4102> [cometh] by hearing <0189>, and hearing <0189> by the word < 4487> of God <2316>.

18 But I say <3004>, Have they not heard <0191>? Yes <3304> verily <3304>, their sound <5353> went < 1831> into <1519> all <3956> the earth <1093>, and their words <4487> unto the ends <4009> of the world < 3625>.

19 But I say <3004>, Did not Israel <2474> know < 1097>? First <4413> Moses <3475> saith <3004>, I will provoke <3863> you to jealousy by [them that are] no <3756> people <1484>, [and] by a foolish <0801> nation <1484> I will anger <3949> you.

20 But Esaias <2268> is very <0662> bold < 0662>, and saith <3004>, I was found <2147> of them that sought <2212> me not; I was made <1096> manifest <1717> unto them that asked <1905> not after <1905> me.

21 But to Israel <2474> he saith <3004>, All < 3650> day <2250> long I have stretched <1600> forth < 1600> my hands <5495> unto a disobedient <0544> and gainsaying <0483> people <2992>.

Romans 11

1. I say <2046> then <3767>, Hath God <2316> cast <0683> away <0683> his people <2992>? God < 1096> forbid <1096>. For I also <2532> am <1510> an Israelite <2475>, of the seed <4690> of Abraham <11>, [of] the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <0958>.

2 God <2316> hath not cast <0683> away <0683> his people <2992> which <3739> he foreknew <4267>. Wot <1492> ye not what <5101> the scripture <1124> saith < 3004> of Elias <2243>? how <5613> he maketh <1793> intercession <1793> to God <2316> against <2596> Israel <2474>, saying <3004>,

3 Lord <2962>, they have killed <0615> thy prophets <4396>, and digged <2679> down <2679> thine <4675> altars <2379>; and I am left <5275> alone <3441>, and they seek <2212> my life <5590>.

4 But what <5101> saith <3004> the answer < 5538> of God unto him? I have reserved <2641> to myself < 1683> seven <2035> thousand <2035> men <0435>, who <3748> have not bowed <2578> the knee <1119> to [the image of] Baal <0896>.

5 Even <2532> so <3779> then <3767> at < 1722> this <3588> present <3568> time <2540> also < 2532> there is a remnant <3005> according <2596> to the election <1589> of grace <5485>.

6 And if <1487> by grace <5485>, then [is it] no <3765> more <2089> of works <2041>: otherwise < 1893> grace <5485> is no <3765> more <2089> grace < 5485>. But if <1487> [it be] of works <2041>, then is it no <3765> more <2089> grace <5485>: otherwise <1893> work <2041> is no <3765> more <2089> work <2041>.

7 What <5101> then <3767>? Israel <2474> hath not obtained <2013> that which <3739> he seeketh <1934> for; but the election <1589> hath obtained <2013> it, and the rest <3062> were blinded <4456>

8 (According as it is written <1125>, God <2316> hath given <1325> them the spirit <4151> of slumber < 2659>, eyes <3788> that they should not see <0991>, and ears <3775> that they should not hear <0191>;) unto this < 4594> day <2250>.

9 And David <1138> saith <3004>, Let their table <5132> be made <1096> a snare <3803>, and a trap < 2339>, and a stumblingblock <4625>, and a recompence <0468> unto them:

10 Let their eyes <3788> be darkened <4654>, that they may not see <0991>, and bow <4781> down <4781> their back <3577> alway <1275>.

11 I say <2046> then <3767>, Have they stumbled < 4417> that they should fall <4098>? God <1096> forbid < 1096>: but [rather] through their fall <3900> salvation < 4991> [is come] unto the Gentiles <1484>, for to provoke < 3863> them to jealousy.

12 Now <1161> if <1487> the fall <3900> of them [be] the riches <4149> of the world <2889>, and the diminishing <2275> of them the riches <4149> of the Gentiles <1484>; how <4214> much <4124> more <3123> their fulness <4138>?

13 For I speak <3004> to you Gentiles <1484>, inasmuch <3745> as I am <1510> the apostle <0652> of the Gentiles <1484>, I magnify <1392> mine <3450> office < 1248>:

14 If <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> I may provoke <3863> to emulation <3863> [them which are] my flesh <4561>, and might save <4982> some <5100> of them.

15 For if <1487> the casting <0580> away < 0580> of them [be] the reconciling <2643> of the world < 2889>, what <5101> [shall] the receiving <4356> [of them be], but life <2222> from the dead <3498>?

16 For if <1487> the firstfruit <0536> [be] holy <0040>, the lump <5445> [is] also <2532> [holy < 0040>]: and if <1487> the root <4491> [be] holy <0040> , so <2532> [are] the branches <2798>.

17 And if <1487> some <5100> of the branches < 2798> be broken <1575> off <1575>, and thou, being < 5607> a wild <0065> olive <0065> tree <0065>, wert graffed <1461> in among <1722> them, and with them partakest <4791> of the root <4491> and fatness <4096> of the olive <1636> tree;

18 Boast <2620> not against <2620> the branches < 2798>. But if <1487> thou boast, thou bearest <0941> not the root <4491>, but the root <4491> thee.

19 Thou wilt say <2046> then <3767>, The branches <2798> were broken <1575> off <1575>, that I might be graffed <1461> in.

20 Well <2573>; because of unbelief <0570> they were broken <1575> off <1575>, and thou standest <2476> by faith <4102>. Be not highminded <5309>, but fear < 5399>:

21 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not the natural <5449> branches <2798>, [take heed] lest < 3381> he also <3761> spare <5339> not thee.

22 Behold <1492> therefore <3767> the goodness < 5544> and severity <0663> of God <2316>: on <1909> them which fell <4098>, severity <0663>; but toward < 1909> thee, goodness <5544>, if <1437> thou continue < 1961> in [his] goodness <5544>: otherwise <1893> thou also <2532> shalt be cut <1581> off <1581>.

23 And they also <1161>, if <1437> they abide < 1961> not still in unbelief <0570>, shall be graffed <1461> in: for God <2316> is able <1415> to graff <1461> them in again <3825>.

24 For if <1487> thou wert cut <1581> out of the olive <0065> tree <0065> which is wild <0065> by nature <5449>, and wert graffed <1461> contrary <3844> to nature <5449> into <1519> a good <2565> olive < 2565> tree <2565>: how <4214> much <4124> more < 3123> shall these <3778>, which be the natural <5449> [branches], be graffed <1461> into their own <2398> olive < 1636> tree?

25 For I would <2309> not, brethren <0080>, that ye should be ignorant <0050> of this <5124> mystery <3466>, lest <3361> ye should be wise <5429> in your <1438> own <1438> conceits <1433>; that blindness <4457> in part <3313> is happened <1096> to Israel <2474>, until < 0891> the fulness <4138> of the Gentiles <1484> be come < 1525> in.

26 And so <3779> all <3956> Israel <2474> shall be saved <4982>: as it is written <1125>, There shall come <2240> out of Sion <4622> the Deliverer <4506>, and shall turn <0654> away <0654> ungodliness <0763> from Jacob <2384>:

27 For this <3778> [is] my covenant <1242> unto them, when <3752> I shall take <0851> away <0851> their sins <0266>.

28 As concerning <2596> the gospel <2098>, [they are] enemies <2190> for your <5209> sakes: but as touching < 2596> the election <1589>, [they are] beloved <0027> for the fathers <3962>' sakes.

29 For the gifts <5486> and calling <2821> of God <2316> [are] without <0278> repentance <0278>.

30 For as ye in times <4218> past have not believed < 0544> God <2316>, yet have now <3568> obtained <1653> mercy <1653> through their unbelief <0543>:

31 Even so <3779> have these <3778> also < 2532> now <3568> not believed <0544>, that through your < 5212> mercy <1656> they also <2532> may obtain <1653> mercy <1653>.

32 For God <2316> hath concluded <4788> them all <3956> in unbelief <0543>, that he might have mercy < 1653> upon all <3956>.

33. O the depth <0899> of the riches <4149> both < 2532> of the wisdom <4678> and knowledge <1108> of God < 2316>! how <5613> unsearchable <0419> [are] his judgments <2917>, and his ways <3598> past <0421> finding < 0421> out!

34 For who <5101> hath known <1097> the mind < 3563> of the Lord <2962>? or <2228> who <5101> hath been <1096> his counsellor <4825>?

35 Or <2228> who <5101> hath first <4272> given <4272> to him, and it shall be recompensed <0467> unto him again <0467>?

36 For of him, and through <1223> him, and to him, [are] all <3956> things: to whom <0846> [be] glory <1391> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>.

Romans 12

1. I beseech <3870> you therefore <3767>, brethren <0080>, by the mercies <3628> of God <2316>, that ye present <3936> your <5216> bodies <4983> a living < 2198> sacrifice <2378>, holy <0040>, acceptable <2101> unto God <2316>, [which is] your <5216> reasonable < 3050> service <2999>.

2 And be not conformed <4964> to this <5129> world <0165>: but be ye transformed <3339> by the renewing < 0342> of your <5216> mind <3563>, that ye may prove < 1381> what <5101> [is] that good <0018>, and acceptable < 2101>, and perfect <5046>, will <2307> of God <2316>.

3 For I say <3004>, through <1223> the grace < 5485> given <1325> unto me, to every <3956> man that is among <1722> you, not to think <5252> [of himself] more < 3844> highly <5252> than he ought <1163> to think < 5426>; but to think <5426> soberly <4993>, according as God <2316> hath dealt <3307> to every <1538> man the measure <3358> of faith <4102>.

4 For as we have <2192> many <4183> members < 3196> in one <1520> body <4983>, and all <3956> members <3196> have <2192> not the same <0846> office <4234>:

5 So <3779> we, [being] many <4183>, are one < 1520> body <4983> in Christ <5547>, and every <2596> one <1520> members <3196> one <0240> of another < 0240>.

6 Having <2192> then <1161> gifts <5486> differing <1313> according <2596> to the grace <5485> that is given <1325> to us, whether <1535> prophecy < 4394>, [let us prophesy] according <2596> to the proportion < 0356> of faith <4102>;

7 Or <1535> ministry <1248>, [let us wait] on < 1722> [our] ministering <1248>: or <1535> he that teacheth <1321>, on <1722> teaching <1319>;

8 Or <1535> he that exhorteth <3870>, on < 1722> exhortation <3874>: he that giveth <3330>, [let him do it] with simplicity <0572>; he that ruleth <4291>, with diligence <4710>; he that sheweth <1653> mercy <1653>, with cheerfulness <2432>.

9 [Let] love <0026> be without <0505> dissimulation <0505>. Abhor <0655> that which is evil <4190>; cleave <2853> to that which is good <0018>.

10 [Be] kindly <5387> affectioned <5387> one < 0240> to another <0240> with brotherly <5360> love < 5360>; in honour <5092> preferring <4285> one <0240> another <0240>;

11 Not slothful <3636> in business <4710>; fervent <2204> in spirit <4151>; serving <1398> the Lord < 2962>;

12 Rejoicing <5463> in hope <1680>; patient < 5278> in tribulation <2347>; continuing <4342> instant < 4342> in prayer <4335>;

13 Distributing <2841> to the necessity <5532> of saints <0040>; given <1377> to hospitality <5381>.

14 Bless <2127> them which persecute <1377> you: bless <2127>, and curse <2672> not.

15 Rejoice <5463> with them that do rejoice <5463>, and weep <2799> with them that weep <2799>.

16 [Be] of the same <0846> mind <5426> one < 0240> toward <1519> another <0240>. Mind <5426> not high <5308> things, but condescend <4879> to men of low < 5011> estate. Be not wise <5429> in your <5216> own < 1438> conceits <1433>.

17 Recompense <0591> to no <3367> man <3367> evil <2556> for evil <2556>. Provide <4306> things honest <2570> in the sight <1799> of all <3956> men < 0444>.

18 If <1487> it be possible <1415>, as much < 3588> as lieth in you, live <1514> peaceably <1518> with all <3956> men <0444>.

19 Dearly beloved <0027>, avenge <1556> not yourselves <1438>, but [rather] give <1325> place <5117> unto wrath <3709>: for it is written <1125>, Vengeance < 1557> [is] mine <1698>; I will repay <0467>, saith < 3004> the Lord <2962>.

20 Therefore <3767> if <1437> thine <4675> enemy <2190> hunger <3983>, feed <5595> him; if < 1437> he thirst <1372>, give <4222> him drink <4222>: for in so <5124> doing <4160> thou shalt heap <4987> coals <0440> of fire <4442> on <1909> his head < 2776>.

21 Be not overcome <3528> of evil <2556>, but overcome <3528> evil <2556> with good <0018>.

Romans 13

1. Let every <3956> soul <5590> be subject < 5293> unto the higher <5242> powers <1849>. For there is no <3756> power <1849> but of God <2316>: the powers < 1849> that be are ordained <5021> of God <2316>.

2 Whosoever <3588> therefore <5620> resisteth < 0498> the power <1849>, resisteth <0436> the ordinance < 1296> of God <2316>: and they that resist <0436> shall receive <2983> to themselves <1438> damnation <2917>.

3 For rulers <0758> are not a terror <5401> to good <0018> works <2041>, but to the evil <2556>. Wilt < 2309> thou then <1161> not be afraid <5399> of the power <1849>? do <4160> that which is good <0018>, and thou shalt have <2192> praise <1868> of the same <0846>:

4 For he is the minister <1249> of God <2316> to thee for good <0018>. But if <1437> thou do <4160> that which is evil <2556>, be afraid <5399>; for he beareth < 5409> not the sword <3162> in vain <1500>: for he is the minister <1249> of God <2316>, a revenger <1558> to [execute] wrath <3709> upon him that doeth <4238> evil < 2556>.

5 Wherefore <1352> [ye] must needs <0318> be subject <5293>, not only <3440> for wrath <3709>, but also <2532> for conscience <4893> sake.

6 For for this <5124> cause <1223> pay <5055> ye tribute <5411> also <2532>: for they are God's <2316> ministers <3011>, attending <4342> continually <4342> upon this <5124> very <0846> thing.

7. Render <0591> therefore <3767> to all <3956> their dues <3782>: tribute <5411> to whom <3588> tribute <5411> [is due]; custom <5056> to whom <3588> custom <5056>; fear <5401> to whom <3588> fear < 5401>; honour <5092> to whom <3588> honour <5092>.

8 Owe <3784> no <3367> man <3367> any < 3367> thing, but to love <0025> one <0240> another < 0240>: for he that loveth <0025> another <2087> hath fulfilled <4137> the law <3551>.

9 For this <3588>, Thou shalt not commit <3431> adultery <3431>, Thou shalt not kill <5407>, Thou shalt not steal <2813>, Thou shalt not bear <5576> false <5576> witness <5576>, Thou shalt not covet <1937>; and if < 1487> [there be] any <1536> other <2087> commandment < 1785>, it is briefly <0346> comprehended <0346> in this < 5129> saying <3056>, namely <1722>, Thou shalt love < 0025> thy neighbour <4139> as thyself <1438>.

10 Love <0026> worketh <2038> no <3756> ill <2556> to his neighbour <4139>: therefore <3767> love <0026> [is] the fulfilling <4138> of the law <3551>.

11. And that, knowing <1492> the time <2540>, that now <2236> [it is] high time <5610> to awake <1453> out of sleep <5258>: for now <3568> [is] our salvation <4991> nearer <1452> than <2228> when <3753> we believed < 4100>.

12 The night <3571> is far spent <4298>, the day <2250> is at <1448> hand <1448>: let us therefore < 3767> cast <0656> off <0659> the works <2041> of darkness <4655>, and let us put <1746> on <1746> the armour <3696> of light <5457>.

13 Let us walk <4043> honestly <2156>, as in the day <2250>; not in rioting <2970> and drunkenness <3178>, not in chambering <2845> and wantonness <0766>, not in strife <2054> and envying <2205>.

14 But put <1746> ye on <1746> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and make <4160> not provision <4307> for the flesh <4561>, to [fulfil] the lusts <1939> [thereof].

Romans 14

1. Him that is weak <0770> in the faith <4102> receive <4355> ye, [but] not to doubtful <1261> disputations <1253>.

2 For one <3739> believeth <4100> that he may eat <5315> all <3956> things: another <3739>, who < 3588> is weak <0770>, eateth <2068> herbs <3001>.

3 Let not him that eateth <2068> despise <1848> him that eateth <2068> not; and let not him which eateth <2068> not judge <2919> him that eateth <2068>: for God <2316> hath received <4355> him.

4 Who <5101> art <1488> thou that judgest < 2919> another <0245> man's <0245> servant <3610>? to his own <2398> master <2962> he standeth <4739> or < 2228> falleth <4098>. Yea <0235>, he shall be holden up: for God <2316> is able <1415> to make <2476> him stand <2476>.

5 One <3303> man esteemeth <2919> one day < 2250> above <3844> another: another <3739> esteemeth < 2919> every <3956> day <2250> [alike]. Let every < 1538> man be fully <4135> persuaded <4135> in his own < 2398> mind <3563>.

6 He that regardeth <5426> the day <2250>, regardeth <5426> [it] unto the Lord <2962>; and he that regardeth <5426> not the day <2250>, to the Lord <2962> he doth not regard <5426> [it]. He that eateth <2068>, eateth <2068> to the Lord <2962>, for he giveth God <2316> thanks <2168>; and he that eateth <2068> not, to the Lord < 2962> he eateth <2068> not, and giveth God <2316> thanks <2168>.

7 For none <3762> of us liveth <2198> to himself <1438>, and no <3762> man <3762> dieth <0599> to himself <1438>.

8 For whether <5037> we live <2198>, we live < 2198> unto the Lord <2962>; and whether <5037> we die < 0599>, we die <0599> unto the Lord <2962>: whether < 5037> we live <2198> therefore <3767>, or <5037> die <0599>, we are the Lord's <2962>.

9 For to this <5124> end Christ <5547> both < 2532> died <0599>, and rose <0450>, and revived <0326> , that he might be Lord <2961> both <2532> of the dead < 3498> and living <2198>.

10 But why <5101> dost thou judge <2919> thy brother <0080>? or <2228> why <5101> dost thou set < 1848> at <1848> nought <1848> thy brother <0080>? for we shall all <3956> stand <3936> before <3936> the judgment <0968> seat <0968> of Christ <5547>.

11 For it is written <1125>, [As] I live <2198>, saith <3004> the Lord <2962>, every <3956> knee < 1119> shall bow <2578> to me, and every <3956> tongue < 1100> shall confess <1843> to God <2316>.

12 So <0686> then <0686> every <1538> one of us shall give <1325> account <3056> of himself <1438> to God <2316>.

13 Let us not therefore <3767> judge <2919> one < 0240> another <0240> any <3371> more <2001>: but judge <2919> this <5124> rather <3123>, that no < 3361> man put <5087> a stumblingblock <4348> or <2228> an occasion <4625> to fall <4625> in [his] brother's < 0080> way.

14 I know <1492>, and am persuaded <3982> by the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>, that [there is] nothing <3762> unclean <2839> of itself <1438>: but to him that esteemeth < 3049> any <5100> thing to be unclean <2839>, to him [it is] unclean <2839>.

15 But if <1487> thy brother <0080> be grieved < 3076> with [thy] meat <1033>, now <3765> walkest < 4043> thou not charitably <0026>. Destroy <0622> not him with thy meat <1033>, for whom <3739> Christ <5547> died <0599>.

16 Let not then <3767> your <5216> good <0018> be evil spoken <0987> of:

17 For the kingdom <0932> of God <2316> is not meat <1035> and drink <4213>; but righteousness <1343>, and peace <1515>, and joy <5479> in the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>.

18 For he that in these <5125> things serveth <1398> Christ <5547> [is] acceptable <2101> to God <2316>, and approved <1384> of men <0444>.

19 Let us therefore <3767> follow <1377> after < 1377> the things which make <3753> for peace <1515>, and things wherewith one <0240> may edify <3619> another < 0240>.

20 For meat <1033> destroy <2647> not the work < 2041> of God <2316>. All <3956> things indeed <3303> [are] pure <2513>; but [it is] evil <2556> for that man < 0444> who <3588> eateth <2068> with offence <4348>.

21 [It is] good <2570> neither <3361> to eat < 5315> flesh <2907>, nor <3366> to drink <4095> wine <3631>, nor <3366> [any <3362> thing] whereby < 3739> thy brother <0080> stumbleth <4350>, or <2228> is offended <4624>, or <2228> is made <0770> weak < 0770>.

22 Hast <2192> thou faith <4102>? have <2192> [it] to thyself <4572> before <1799> God <2316>. Happy <3107> [is] he that condemneth <4314> not himself <1438> in that thing which <3739> he alloweth <1381>.

23 And he that doubteth <1252> is damned <2632> if <1437> he eat <5315>, because <3754> [he eateth < 2068>] not of faith <4102>: for whatsoever <3956> [is] not of faith <4102> is sin <0266>.

Romans 15

1. We then <1161> that are strong <1415> ought < 3784> to bear <0941> the infirmities <0771> of the weak < 0102>, and not to please <0700> ourselves <1438>.

2 Let every <1538> one of us please <0700> [his] neighbour <4139> for [his] good <0018> to edification < 3619>.

3 For even <2532> Christ <5547> pleased <0700> not himself <1438>; but, as it is written <1125>, The reproaches <3679> of them that reproached <3679> thee fell < 1968> on <1909> me.

4 For whatsoever <3745> things were written <4270> aforetime <4270> were written <4270> for our learning < 1319>, that we through <1223> patience <5281> and comfort <3874> of the scriptures <1124> might have <2192> hope <1680>.

5. Now <1161> the God <2316> of patience <5281> and consolation <3874> grant <1325> you to be likeminded < 5426> one <0240> toward <1722> another <0240> according <2596> to Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

6 That ye may with one <3661> mind <3661> [and] one <1520> mouth <4750> glorify <1392> God <2316>, even <2532> the Father <3962> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

7. Wherefore <1352> receive <4355> ye one < 0240> another <0240>, as Christ <5547> also <2532> received <4355> us to the glory <1391> of God <2316>.

8 Now <1160> I say <3004> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> was a minister <1249> of the circumcision < 4061> for the truth <0225> of God <2316>, to confirm < 0950> the promises <1860> [made] unto the fathers <3962>:

9 And that the Gentiles <1484> might glorify <1392> God <2316> for [his] mercy <1656>; as it is written < 1125>, For this <5124> cause <1223> I will confess < 1843> to thee among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>, and sing <5567> unto thy name <3686>.

10 And again <3825> he saith <3004>, Rejoice < 2165>, ye Gentiles <1484>, with his people <2992>.

11 And again <3825>, Praise <0134> the Lord < 2962>, all <3956> ye Gentiles <1484>; and laud <1867> him, all <3956> ye people <2992>.

12 And again <3825>, Esaias <2268> saith < 3004>, There shall be a root <4491> of Jesse <2421>, and he that shall rise <0450> to reign <0757> over the Gentiles < 1484>; in him shall the Gentiles <1484> trust <1679>.

13. Now <1161> the God <2316> of hope <1680> fill <4137> you with all <3956> joy <5479> and peace < 1515> in believing <4100>, that ye may abound <4052> in hope <1680>, through <1722> the power <1411> of the Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>.

14. And I myself also <2532> am persuaded <3982> of you, my brethren <0080>, that ye also <2532> are full < 3324> of goodness <0019>, filled <4137> with all < 3956> knowledge <1108>, able <1410> also <2532> to admonish <3560> one <0240> another <0240>.

15 Nevertheless <1161>, brethren <0080>, I have written <1125> the more <5112> boldly <5112> unto you in some <3313> sort <3313>, as putting <1878> you in mind <1878>, because <1223> of the grace <5485> that is given <1325> to me of God <2316>,

16 That I should be the minister <3011> of Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547> to the Gentiles <1484>, ministering < 2418> the gospel <2098> of God <2316>, that the offering <4376> up of the Gentiles <1484> might be acceptable < 2144>, being sanctified <0037> by the Holy <0040> Ghost < 4151>.

17. I have <2192> therefore <3767> whereof I may glory <2746> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547> in those <3588> things which pertain to God <2316>.

18 For I will not dare <5111> to speak <2980> of any <5100> of those things which <3739> Christ <5547> hath not wrought <2716> by me, to make <1519> the Gentiles < 1484> obedient <5218>, by word <3056> and deed <2041>,

19 Through <1722> mighty <1411> signs <4591> and wonders <5059>, by the power <1411> of the Spirit < 4151> of God <2316>; so <5620> that from Jerusalem < 2419>, and round <2943> about <2945> unto Illyricum < 2437>, I have fully <4137> preached <4137> the gospel < 2098> of Christ <5547>.

20 Yea <0235>, so <3779> have I strived <5389> to preach <2097> the gospel <2097>, not where <3699> Christ <5547> was named <3687>, lest <3361> I should build <3618> upon another <0245> man's <0245> foundation <2310>:

21 But as it is written <1125>, To whom <3739> he was not spoken <0312> of, they shall see <3700>: and they that have not heard <0191> shall understand <4920>.

22. For which <1352> cause <1352> also <2532> I have been much <5248> hindered <1465> from coming < 2064> to you.

23 But now <3570> having <2192> no <3371> more <2001> place <5117> in these <5125> parts < 2825>, and having <2192> a great <1974> desire <1974> these many <4183> years <2094> to come <2064> unto you;

24 Whensoever <1437> I take my journey <4198> into <1519> Spain <4681>, I will come <2064> to you: for I trust <1679> to see <2300> you in my journey <1279>, and to be brought <4311> on my way <4311> thitherward <1563> by you, if <1437> first <4412> I be somewhat <3313> filled <1705> with your <5216> [company].

25 But now <3570> I go <4198> unto Jerusalem < 2419> to minister <1247> unto the saints <0040>.

26 For it hath pleased <2106> them of Macedonia < 3109> and Achaia <0882> to make <4160> a certain < 5100> contribution <2842> for the poor <4434> saints < 0040> which <3588> are at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>.

27 It hath pleased <2106> them verily <1063>; and their debtors <3781> they are. For if <1487> the Gentiles < 1484> have been made <2841> partakers <2841> of their spiritual <4152> things, their duty <3784> is also <2532> to minister <3008> unto them in carnal <4559> things.

28 When therefore <3767> I have performed <2005> this <5124>, and have sealed <4972> to them this <5126> fruit <2590>, I will come <0565> by you into <1519> Spain <4681>.

29 And I am sure <1492> that, when I come <2064> unto you, I shall come <2064> in the fulness <4138> of the blessing <2129> of the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>.

30. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren < 0080>, for the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ's < 5547> sake, and for the love <0026> of the Spirit <4151>, that ye strive <4865> together <4865> with me in [your < 3588>] prayers <4335> to God <2316> for me;

31 That I may be delivered <4506> from them that do not believe <0544> in Judaea <2449>; and that my service < 1248> which <3588> [I have] for Jerusalem <2419> may be accepted <2144> of the saints <0040>;

32 That I may come <2064> unto you with joy <5479> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, and may with you be refreshed <4875>.

33 Now <1161> the God <2316> of peace <1515> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <0281>.

Romans 16

1. I commend <4921> unto you Phebe <5402> our sister <0079>, which is a servant <1249> of the church <1577> which <3588> is at <1722> Cenchrea <2747>:

2 That ye receive <4327> her in the Lord <2962>, as becometh <0516> saints <0040>, and that ye assist <3936> her in whatsoever <0302> business <4229> she hath need < 5535> of you: for she hath been <1096> a succourer <4368> of many <4183>, and of myself <0846> also <2532>.

3 Greet <0782> Priscilla <4252> and Aquila < 0207> my helpers <4904> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

4 Who <3748> have for my life <5590> laid < 5294> down <5294> their own <1438> necks <5137>: unto whom <3739> not only <3441> I give thanks <2168>, but also <2532> all <3956> the churches <1577> of the Gentiles <1484>.

5 Likewise <2532> [greet] the church <1577> that is in their house <3624>. Salute <0782> my wellbeloved < 0027> Epaenetus <1866>, who <3739> is the firstfruits < 0536> of Achaia <0882> unto Christ <5547>.

6 Greet <0782> Mary <3137>, who <3748> bestowed <2872> much <4183> labour <2872> on <1519> us.

7 Salute <0782> Andronicus <0408> and Junia < 2458>, my kinsmen <4773>, and my fellowprisoners <4869>, who <3748> are of note <1978> among <1722> the apostles <0652>, who <3739> also <2532> were in Christ < 5547> before <4253> me.

8 Greet <0782> Amplias <0291> my beloved < 0027> in the Lord <2962>.

9 Salute <0782> Urbane <3773>, our helper < 4904> in Christ <5547>, and Stachys <4720> my beloved < 0027>.

10 Salute <0782> Apelles <0559> approved < 1384> in Christ <5547>. Salute <0782> them which are of Aristobulus <0711>' [household].

11 Salute <0782> Herodion <2267> my kinsman < 4773>. Greet <0782> them that be of the [household] of Narcissus <3488>, which <3588> are in the Lord <2962>.

12 Salute <0782> Tryphena <5170> and Tryphosa < 5173>, who <3588> labour <2872> in the Lord <2962>. Salute <0782> the beloved <0027> Persis <4069>, which <3748> laboured <2872> much <4183> in the Lord < 2962>.

13 Salute <0782> Rufus <4504> chosen <1588> in the Lord <2962>, and his mother <3384> and mine <1700> .

14 Salute <0782> Asyncritus <0799>, Phlegon < 5393>, Hermas <2057>, Patrobas <3969>, Hermes <2060>, and the brethren <0080> which are with them.

15 Salute <0782> Philologus <5378>, and Julia < 2456>, Nereus <3517>, and his sister <0079>, and Olympas <3652>, and all <3956> the saints <0040> which are with them.

16 Salute <0782> one <0240> another <0240> with an holy <0040> kiss <5370>. The churches <1577> of Christ <5547> salute <0782> you.

17. Now <1161> I beseech <3870> you, brethren < 0080>, mark <4648> them which cause <4160> divisions < 1370> and offences <4625> contrary <3844> to the doctrine <1322> which <3739> ye have learned <3129>; and avoid <1578> them.

18 For they that are such <5108> serve <1398> not our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, but their own <1438> belly <2836>; and by good <5542> words < 5542> and fair <2129> speeches <2129> deceive <1818> the hearts <2588> of the simple <0172>.

19 For your <5216> obedience <5218> is come < 0864> abroad <0864> unto all <3956> [men]. I am glad < 5463> therefore <3767> on <1909> your <5213> behalf <1909>: but yet <1161> I would <2309> have you wise < 4680> unto that which is good <0018>, and simple <0185> concerning <1519> evil <2556>.

20 And the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall bruise <4937> Satan <4567> under <5259> your <5216> feet <4228> shortly <5034>. The grace <5485> of our Lord < 2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you. Amen < 0281>.

21. Timotheus <5095> my workfellow <4904>, and Lucius <3066>, and Jason <2394>, and Sosipater <4989>, my kinsmen <4773>, salute <0782> you.

22 I Tertius <5060>, who <3588> wrote <1125> [this <3588>] epistle <1992>, salute <0782> you in the Lord <2962>.

23 Gaius <1050> mine <3450> host <3581>, and of the whole <3650> church <1577>, saluteth <0782> you. Erastus <2037> the chamberlain <3623> of the city <4172> saluteth <0782> you, and Quartus <2890> a brother <0080>.

24 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen < 0281>.

25. Now <1161> to him that is of power <1410> to stablish <4741> you according <2596> to my gospel <2098>, and the preaching <2782> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, according <2596> to the revelation <0602> of the mystery < 3466>, which was kept secret <4601> since the world <0166> began,

26 But now <3568> is made <5319> manifest < 5319>, and by the scriptures <1124> of the prophets <4397>, according <2596> to the commandment <2003> of the everlasting <0166> God <2316>, made <1107> known <1107> to all <3956> nations <1484> for the obedience <5218> of faith <4102>:

27 To God <2316> only <3441> wise <4680>, [be] glory <1391> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547> for ever <0165>. Amen <0281>.
