Book 45 Romans

45:001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

45:001:002 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

45:001:003 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

45:001:004 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

45:001:005 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

45:001:006 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

45:001:007 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

45:001:008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

45:001:009 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

45:001:010 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

45:001:011 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

45:001:012 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

45:001:013 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

45:001:014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

45:001:015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

45:001:016 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

45:001:017 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

45:001:018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

45:001:019 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

45:001:020 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

45:001:021 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

45:001:022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

45:001:023 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

45:001:024 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

45:001:025 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

45:001:026 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
