Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
Compare verse
2 (Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Compare verse
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Compare verse
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Compare verse
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Compare verse
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
Compare verse
7 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.
Compare verse
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Compare verse
9 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;
Compare verse
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.
Compare verse
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;
Compare verse
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Compare verse
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, (but was let till now,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Compare verse
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Compare verse
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Compare verse
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Compare verse
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Compare verse
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Compare verse
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.
Compare verse
20 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:
Compare verse
21 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.
Compare verse
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Compare verse
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
Compare verse
24 Why God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Compare verse
25 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.
Compare verse
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Compare verse
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Compare verse
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Compare verse
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Compare verse
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Compare verse
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Compare verse
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Compare verse
