King James Version
Paul, a servant of Christ
Jesus, called to be an apostle, and
set
apart
for
the gospel of God —
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ
, called to be an apostle, separated
unto
the gospel of God ,
the
gospel
He promised beforehand
through
His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
(Which
he had
promised afore
by
his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
regarding
His Son, who
was a
descendant
of David according to the flesh ,
Concerning
his Son Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
, which
was made
of the
seed
of
David according to the flesh ;
and who
through
the
Spirit
of
holiness
was
declared with
power
to be the Son of God by His
resurrection from the dead: Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
And declared to be the Son of God with
power,
according
to
the
spirit
of
holiness,
by the
resurrection from the dead:
Through
Him
and
on
behalf
of
His
name,
we received grace and apostleship to
call
all
those
among
the
Gentiles
to the obedience
that
comes
from
faith .
By
whom
we have
received grace and apostleship ,
for
obedience
to the faith among
all
nations,
for
his
name:
And
you
also
are
among those
who
are called to
belong
to
Jesus Christ .
Among whom
are ye
also
the
called of
Jesus Christ :
To all in Rome who
are
loved
by
God and
called to be saints: Grace and
peace
to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all
of
you, because
your faith is being
proclaimed
all
over
the world.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all
, that
your faith is spoken
of
throughout
the whole
world.
God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching
the gospel of His Son, is
my
witness
how
constantly
I remember
you
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;
in
my
prayers
at
all
times
, asking
that
now at last
by God’s
will I
may
succeed
in
coming
to you.
Making
request
, if
by
any
means
now at length
I
might
have
a
prosperous
journey
by the
will of
God
to come
unto
you.
For I long to see you so
that I may impart to
you some spiritual gift to
strengthen
you
,
For I long to see you ,
that I may impart unto
you some spiritual gift, to
the
end
ye
may
be
established;
that is, that you
and
I may be mutually
encouraged
by each
other’s
faith.
That is, that I may be comforted
together
with
you
by the
mutual
faith both
of
you
and
me
.
I do
not want
you to
be
unaware
, brothers
, how
often
I planned
to come to
you (but have
been
prevented
from
visiting
until
now)
, in
order
that I might have a
harvest
among you, just
as I
have
had
among the
other Gentiles.
Now
I would
not have
you ignorant
, brethren
, that
oftentimes
I purposed
to come unto
you ,
(but was
let
hitherto
, )
that I might have some
fruit
among you also
, even
as among other Gentiles.
I am obligated
both to Greeks
and
non-
Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish
.
I am debtor
both to the
Greeks, and
to
the
Barbarians;
both to the wise ,
and to
the unwise
.
That
is why
I am so
eager
to preach the gospel also
to you who
are in
Rome.
So,
as
much
as
in
me
is ,
I am ready
to preach the gospel to you that
are at
Rome also
.
I am not ashamed of the gospel ,
because
it is the power of God for
salvation to everyone
who
believes,
first
to the Jew, then
to the Greek.
For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ:
for
it is the power of God unto
salvation to every
one
that
believeth;
to the Jew first
, and
also
to the Greek.
For the
gospel
reveals
the righteousness of God that
comes
by
faith
from start
to finish,
just
as it is written :
“
The righteous
will
live by faith. ”
For therein
is
the righteousness of God revealed
from faith
to faith:
as it is written ,
The just
shall
live by faith.
The wrath of God is being
revealed from heaven against all the
godlessness
and wickedness
of men who suppress
the truth by
their
wickedness.
For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness
of men ,
who hold
the truth in
unrighteousness;
For
what
may be known about
God is plain
to
them ,
because
God has
made
it plain
to
them.
Because
that
which
may be known of
God is manifest
in
them ;
for
God hath
shewed
it unto
them.
For since
the creation of the world God’s
invisible
qualities,
His
eternal
power
and
divine
nature,
have
been
clearly seen, being understood from
His
workmanship
, so that men
are without excuse .
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 :
For
although
they knew God, they neither
glorified Him as God nor
gave
thanks
to
Him
, but they
became futile
in their thinking
and darkened
in
their foolish hearts
.
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
.
Although
they
claimed
to be wise, they became fools,
Professing
themselves
to be wise, they became fools,
and exchanged
the glory of the immortal
God for
images
of
mortal
man and birds and animals
and reptiles
.
And changed
the glory of the uncorruptible
God into
an
image
made
like
to
corruptible
man ,
and to
birds ,
and fourfooted
beasts,
and creeping
things
.
Therefore
God gave them over
in
the desires
of their hearts to impurity
for
the
dishonoring
of
their bodies with
one
another.
Wherefore
God also
gave them up
to
uncleanness
through
the lusts
of their own
hearts ,
to dishonour
their own
bodies between
themselves:
They
exchanged
the truth of God for
a lie, and worshiped
and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is forever
worthy
of
praise!
Amen.
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.
For this reason
God gave them over
to
dishonorable
passions.
Even their women exchanged
natural relations
for
unnatural
ones.
For this cause
God gave them up
unto
vile
affections:
for
even their women did
change
the
natural use
into
that
which
is
against
nature:
Likewise ,
the men abandoned
natural relations
with
women
and
burned with
lust for
one another .
Men committed
indecent
acts
with other
men, and received
in themselves the
due
penalty
for
their error.
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
recompence
of
their error which
was
meet
.
Furthermore,
since
they did not see
fit
to acknowledge
God, He
gave them up
to a depraved
mind, to do what
ought
not to
be
done.
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;
They
have
become
filled with every
kind
of
wickedness
, evil
, greed
, and
depravity.
They
are
full of envy, murder, strife
, deceit, and
malice.
They
are
gossips
,
Being
filled with all
unrighteousness
, fornication
, wickedness
, covetousness,
maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate
, deceit, malignity;
whisperers
,
slanderers
, God-
haters, insolent
, arrogant
, and
boastful.
They
invent
new
forms
of evil ;
they
disobey
their
parents .
Backbiters
, haters of
God
, despiteful
, proud
, boasters,
inventors
of evil things,
disobedient
to
parents ,
They
are
senseless
, faithless
, heartless
, merciless.
Without
understanding
, covenantbreakers
, without
natural
affection
, implacable,
unmerciful:
Although
they
know
God’s
righteous
decree
that
those
who do
such things are worthy of death, they
not only continue
to
do these
things
, but also
approve
of
those
who
practice
them.
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
.
