Romans Chapter 1

Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures,
Rom 1:3 concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord:
Rom 1:5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name:
Rom 1:6 among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ:
Rom 1:7 to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:8 In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;
Rom 1:10 praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you.
Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;
Rom 1:12 but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.
Rom 1:13 But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles.
Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise:
Rom 1:15 so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them:
Rom 1:20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Saying that they were wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves:
Rom 1:25 who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen.
Rom 1:26 On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved.
Rom 1:28 And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;
Rom 1:29 being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;
Rom 1:30 whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful,
Rom 1:32 who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.
