Romans Chapter 1

Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart to the gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 which he announced beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
Rom 1:3 concerning his Son, who was born of the posterity of David according to the flesh,
Rom 1:4 who was constituted Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Rom 1:5 through whom we received grace and apostleship in order to the obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake,
Rom 1:6 among whom are you also the called, of Jesus Christ:
Rom 1:7 to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ concerning you all, that your faith is spoken of in all the world.
Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
Rom 1:10 always in my prayers making request if by any means now at last I may be prospered in the will of God to come to you.
Rom 1:11 For I greatly desire to see you, that I may share with you some spiritual gift, in order that you may be strengthened;
Rom 1:12 that is, that I may be comforted together among you through the faith that is in each other, both yours and mine.
Rom 1:13 But I desire that you be not ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, and have been hindered to the present time, that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
Rom 1:14 Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, am I debtor:
Rom 1:15 so as far as I am able, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God in order to salvation to every one that believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness by faith for faith; as it is written: He that is righteous by faith shall live.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men that repress the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them, for God has manifested it to them.
Rom 1:20 For his attributes which are invisible, since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived by the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, so that they are without excuse;
Rom 1:21 because, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, or give him thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their heart, void of understanding, was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God delivered them up in the desires of their hearts to uncleanness, so that their bodies were dishonored among no them;
Rom 1:25 and these exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever: Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this reason God delivered them up to dishonorable passions; for their females exchanged the natural use for that against nature,
Rom 1:27 and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust one for another, males with males working the indecency, and receiving in themselves the due reward of their error.
Rom 1:28 And as they did not approve of holding God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a mind incapable of approving, that they might do things unbecoming,
Rom 1:29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness malice, covetousness; full of envy murder, strife, deceit, malignity
Rom 1:30 whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boasters: inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 who, acknowledging the just decree of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but approve those that practice them.
