1Paul3972, a servant1401 of Jesus2424 Christ5547, called2822 to be an apostle652, separated873 unto1519 the gospel2098 of God2316,
2(Which3739 he had promised afore4279 by1223 his846 prophets4396 in1722 the holy40 scriptures1124,)
3Concerning4012 his846 Son5207 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Lord2962, which3588 was made1096 of1537 the seed4690 of David1138 according2596 to the flesh4561;
4And declared3724 to be the Son5207 of God2316 with1722 power1411, according2596 to the spirit4151 of holiness42, by1537 the resurrection386 from the dead3498:
5By1223 whom3739 we have received2983 grace5485 and2532 apostleship651, for1519 obedience5218 to the faith4102 among1722 all3956 nations1484, for5228 his846 name3686:
6Among1722 whom3739 are2075 ye5210 also2532 the called2822 of Jesus2424 Christ5547:
7To all3956 that be5607 in1722 Rome4516, beloved27 of God2316, called2822 to be saints40: Grace5485 to you5213 and2532 peace1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962, and2532 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547.
8First4412 3303, I thank2168 my3450 God2316 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 for5228 you5216 all3956, that3754 your5216 faith4102 is spoken2605 of throughout1722 the whole3650 world2889.
9For1063 God2316 is2076 my3450 witness3144, whom3739 I serve3000 with1722 my3450 spirit4151 in1722 the gospel2098 of his846 Son5207, that5613 without ceasing89 I make4160 mention3417 of you5216 always3842 in1909 my3450 prayers4335;
10Making request1189, if by any means1513 now2235 at length4218 I might have a prosperous journey2137 by1722 the will2307 of God2316 to come2064 unto4314 you5209.
11For1063 I long1971 to see1492 you5209, that2443 I may impart3330 unto you5213 some5100 spiritual4152 gift5486, to the end1519 ye5209 may be established4741;
12That1161 5124 is2076, that I may be comforted together4837 with1722 you5213 by1223 1722 the mutual240 faith4102 both5037 of you5216 and2532 me1700.
13Now1161 I would2309 not3756 have50 you5209 ignorant50, brethren80, that3754 oftentimes4178 I purposed4388 to come2064 unto4314 you5209, (but2532 was let2967 hitherto891 1204,) that2443 I might have2192 some5100 fruit2590 among1722 you5213 also2532, even as2531 2532 among1722 other3062 Gentiles1484.
14I am1510 debtor3781 both5037 to the Greeks1672, and2532 to the Barbarians915; both5037 to the wise4680, and2532 to the unwise453.
15So3779, as much as2596 in me is1691, I am ready4289 to preach the gospel2097 to you5213 that are at1722 Rome4516 also2532.
16For1063 I am1870 not3756 ashamed1870 of the gospel2098 of Christ5547: for1063 it is2076 the power1411 of God2316 unto1519 salvation4991 to every one3956 that believeth4100; to the Jew2453 first4412, and5037 also2532 to the Greek1672.
17For1063 therein1722 846 is601 the righteousness1343 of God2316 revealed601 from1537 faith4102 to1519 faith4102: as2531 it is written1125,1161 The just1342 shall live2198 by1537 faith4102.
18For1063 the wrath3709 of God2316 is revealed601 from575 heaven3772 against1909 all3956 ungodliness763 and2532 unrighteousness93 of men444, who hold2722 the truth225 in1722 unrighteousness93;
19Because1360 that which may be known1110 of God2316 is2076 manifest5318 in1722 them846; for1063 God2316 hath shewed5319 it unto them846.
20For1063 the invisible things517 of him846 from575 the creation2937 of the world2889 are clearly seen2529, being understood3539 by the things that are made4161, even 5037 his846 eternal126 power1411 and2532 Godhead2305; so1519 that they846 are1511 without excuse379:
21Because1360 that, when they knew1097 God2316, they glorified1392 him not3756 as5613 God2316, neither2228 were thankful2168; but235 became vain3154 in1722 their846 imaginations1261, and2532 their846 foolish801 heart2588 was darkened4654.
22Professing themselves5335 to be1511 wise4680, they became fools3471,
23And2532 changed236 the glory1391 of the uncorruptible862 God2316 into1722 an image1504 made like3667 to corruptible5349 man444, and2532 to birds4071, and2532 fourfooted beasts5074, and2532 creeping things2062.
24Wherefore1352 God2316 also2532 gave3860 them846 up3860 to1519 uncleanness167 through1722 the lusts1939 of their own846 hearts2588, to dishonour818 their own846 bodies4983 between1722 themselves1438:
25Who3748 changed3337 the truth225 of God2316 into1722 a lie5579, and2532 worshipped4573 and2532 served3000 the creature2937 more than3844 the Creator2936, who3739 is2076 blessed2128 for1519 ever165. Amen281.
26For1223 this5124 cause God2316 gave3860 them846 up3860 unto1519 vile819 affections3806: for1063 even5037 their846 women2338 did change3337 the natural5446 use5540 into1519 that which is against3844 nature5449:
27And5037 likewise3668 also2532 the men730, leaving863 the natural5446 use5540 of the woman2338, burned1572 in1722 their846 lust3715 one toward another1519 240; men730 with1722 men730 working2716 that which is unseemly808, and2532 receiving618 in1722 themselves1438 that recompence489 of their846 error4106 which3739 was meet1163.
28And2532 even as2531 they did1381 not3756 like1381 to retain2192 God2316 in1722 their knowledge1922, God2316 gave3860 them846 over3860 to1519 a reprobate96 mind3563, to do4160 those things which are2520 not3361 convenient2520;
29Being filled with4137 all3956 unrighteousness93, fornication4202, wickedness4189, covetousness4124, maliciousness2549; full3324 of envy5355, murder5408, debate2054, deceit1388, malignity2550; whisperers5588,
30Backbiters2637, haters of God2319, despiteful5197, proud5244, boasters213, inventors2182 of evil things2556, disobedient545 to parents1118,
31Without understanding801, covenantbreakers802, without natural affection794, implacable786, unmerciful415:
32Who3748 knowing1921 the judgment1345 of God2316, that3754 they which commit4238 such things5108 are1526 worthy514 of death2288, not3756 only3440 do4160 the same846, but235 2532 have pleasure4909 in them that do4238 them.
