Paul ,
a servant of Jesus Christ ,
called to be an apostle ,
separated (
5772 )
unto the gospel of God ,
* (
Which he had promised afore (
5662 )
by his prophets in the holy scriptures ,)
*
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord ,
which was made (
5637 )
of the seed of David according to the flesh ;
*
And declared (
5685 )
to be the Son of God with power ,
according to the spirit of holiness ,
by the resurrection from the dead :
*
By whom we have received (
5627 )
grace and apostleship ,
for obedience to the faith among all nations ,
for his name :
*
Among whom are (
5748 )
ye also the called of Jesus Christ :
*
To all that be (
5752 )
in Rome ,
beloved of God ,
called to be saints :
Grace to you and peace from God our Father ,
and the Lord Jesus Christ .
*
First ,
I thank (
5719 )
my God through Jesus Christ for you all ,
that your faith is spoken (
5743 )
of throughout the whole world .
*
For God is (
5748 )
my witness ,
whom I serve (
5719 )
with my spirit in the gospel of his Son ,
that without ceasing I make (
5731 )
mention of you always in my prayers ;
*
Making request (
5740 ),
if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey (
5701 )
by the will of God to come (
5629 )
unto you .
*
For I long (
5719 )
to see (
5629 )
you ,
that I may impart (
5632 )
unto you some spiritual gift ,
to the end ye may be established (
5683 );
*
That is (
5748 ),
that I may be comforted together (
5683 )
with you by the mutual faith both of you and me .
*
Now I would (
5719 )
not have you ignorant (
5721 ),
brethren ,
that oftentimes I purposed (
5639 )
to come (
5629 )
unto you , (
but was let (
5681 )
hitherto ,)
that I might have (
5632 )
some fruit among you also ,
even as among other Gentiles .
*
I am (
5748 )
debtor both to the Greeks ,
and to the Barbarians ;
both to the wise ,
and to the unwise .
*
So ,
as much as in me is ,
I am ready to preach the gospel (
5670 )
to you that are at Rome also .
*
For I am not ashamed (
5736 )
of the gospel of Christ :
for it is (
5748 )
the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (
5723 );
to the Jew first ,
and also to the Greek .
*
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed (
5743 )
from faith to faith :
as it is written (
5769 ),
The just shall live (
5695 )
by faith .
*
For the wrath of God is revealed (
5743 )
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men ,
who hold (
5723 )
the truth in unrighteousness ;
*
Because that which may be known of God is (
5748 )
manifest in them ;
for God hath shewed (
5656 )
it unto them .
*
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen (
5743 ),
being understood (
5746 )
by the things that are made ,
even his eternal power and Godhead ;
so that they are (
5750 )
without excuse :
*
Because that ,
when they knew (
5631 )
God ,
they glorified (
5656 )
him not as God ,
neither were thankful (
5656 );
but became vain (
5681 )
in their imaginations ,
and their foolish heart was darkened (
5681 ).
*
Professing themselves (
5723 )
to be (
5750 )
wise ,
they became fools (
5681 ),
*
And changed (
5656 )
the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man ,
and to birds ,
and fourfooted beasts ,
and creeping things .
*
Wherefore God also gave them up (
5656 )
to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts ,
to dishonour (
5729 )
their own bodies between themselves :
*
Who changed (
5656 )
the truth of God into a lie ,
and worshipped (
5662 )
and served (
5656 )
the creature more than the Creator (
5660 ),
who is (
5748 )
blessed for ever .
Amen .
*
For this cause God gave them up (
5656 )
unto vile affections :
for even their women did change (
5656 )
the natural use into that which is against nature :
*
And likewise also the men ,
leaving (
5631 )
the natural use of the woman ,
burned (
5681 )
in their lust one toward another ;
men with men working (
5740 )
that which is unseemly ,
and receiving (
5723 )
in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet (
5713 ).
*
And even as they did not like (
5656 )
to retain (
5721 )
God in their knowledge ,
God gave them over (
5656 )
to a reprobate mind ,
to do (
5721 )
those things which are not convenient (
5723 );
*
Being filled with (
5772 )
all unrighteousness ,
fornication ,
wickedness ,
covetousness ,
maliciousness ;
full of envy ,
murder ,
debate ,
deceit ,
malignity ;
whisperers ,
*
Backbiters ,
haters of God ,
despiteful ,
proud ,
boasters ,
inventors of evil things ,
disobedient to parents ,
*
Without understanding ,
covenantbreakers ,
without natural affection ,
implacable ,
unmerciful :
*
Who knowing (
5631 )
the judgment of God ,
that they which commit (
5723 )
such things are (
5748 )
worthy of death ,
not only do (
5719 )
the same ,
but have pleasure (
5719 )
in them that do (
5723 )
them .
*
Therefore thou art (
5748 )
inexcusable ,
O man ,
whosoever thou art that judgest (
5723 ):
for wherein thou judgest (
5719 )
another ,
thou condemnest (
5719 )
thyself ;
for thou that judgest (
5723 )
doest (
5719 )
the same things .
*
But we are sure (
5758 )
that the judgment of God is (
5748 )
according to truth against them which commit (
5723 )
such things .
*
And thinkest thou (
5736 )
this ,
O man ,
that judgest (
5723 )
them which do (
5723 )
such things ,
and doest (
5723 )
the same ,
that thou shalt escape (
5695 )
the judgment of God ?
*
Or despisest thou (
5719 )
the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering ;
not knowing (
5723 )
that the goodness of God leadeth (
5719 )
thee to repentance ?
*
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up (
5719 )
unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God ;
*
Who will render (
5692 )
to every man according to his deeds :
*
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek (
5723 )
for glory and honour and immortality ,
eternal life :
*
But unto them that are contentious ,
and do not obey (
5723 )
the truth ,
but obey (
5734 )
unrighteousness ,
indignation and wrath ,
*
Tribulation and anguish ,
upon every soul of man that doeth (
5740 )
evil ,
of the Jew first ,
and also of the Gentile ;
*
But glory ,
honour ,
and peace ,
to every man that worketh (
5740 )
good ,
to the Jew first ,
and also to the Gentile :
*
For there is (
5748 )
no respect of persons with God .
*
For as many as have sinned (
5627 )
without law shall also perish (
5698 )
without law :
and as many as have sinned (
5627 )
in the law shall be judged (
5701 )
by the law ;
* (
For not the hearers of the law are just before God ,
but the doers of the law shall be justified (
5701 ).
*
For when the Gentiles ,
which have (
5723 )
not the law ,
do (
5725 )
by nature the things contained in the law ,
these ,
having (
5723 )
not the law ,
are (
5748 )
a law unto themselves :
*
Which shew (
5731 )
the work of the law written in their hearts ,
their conscience also bearing witness (
5723 ),
and their thoughts the mean while accusing (
5723 )
or else excusing (
5740 )
one another ;)
*
In the day when God shall judge (
5692 ) (
5719 )
the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel .
*
Behold ,
thou art called (
5743 )
a Jew ,
and restest (
5736 )
in the law ,
and makest thy boast (
5736 )
of God ,
*
And knowest (
5719 )
his will ,
and approvest (
5719 )
the things that are more excellent (
5723 ),
being instructed (
5746 )
out of the law ;
*
And art confident (
5754 )
that thou thyself art (
5750 )
a guide of the blind ,
a light of them which are in darkness ,
*
An instructor of the foolish ,
a teacher of babes ,
which hast (
5723 )
the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law .
*
Thou therefore which teachest (
5723 )
another ,
teachest thou (
5719 )
not thyself ?
thou that preachest (
5723 )
a man should not steal (
5721 ),
dost thou steal (
5719 )?
*
Thou that sayest (
5723 )
a man should not commit adultery (
5721 ),
dost thou commit adultery (
5719 )?
thou that abhorrest (
5740 )
idols ,
dost thou commit sacrilege (
5719 )?
*
Thou that makest thy boast (
5736 )
of the law ,
through breaking the law dishonourest thou (
5719 )
God ?
*
For the name of God is blasphemed (
5743 )
among the Gentiles through you ,
as it is written (
5769 ).
*
For circumcision verily profiteth (
5719 ),
if thou keep (
5725 )
the law :
but if thou be (
5753 )
a breaker of the law ,
thy circumcision is made (
5754 )
uncircumcision .
*
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep (
5725 )
the righteousness of the law ,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted (
5701 )
for circumcision ?
*
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature ,
if it fulfil (
5723 )
the law ,
judge (
5692 )
thee ,
who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law ?
*
For he is (
5748 )
not a Jew ,
which is one outwardly ;
neither is that circumcision ,
which is outward in the flesh :
*
But he is a Jew ,
which is one inwardly ;
and circumcision is that of the heart ,
in the spirit ,
and not in the letter ;
whose praise is not of men ,
but of God .
*
What advantage then hath the Jew ?
or what profit is there of circumcision ?
