Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:1 - Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:2 - which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:3 - the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:4 - and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:5 - through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:6 - including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:7 - To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:8 - First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:9 - For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:10 - asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:11 - For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

Unbelief and Its Consequences

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:18 - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:19 - For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:20 - Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:21 - for although they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:22 - Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:23 - and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:24 - Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:25 - because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:26 - For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:27 - and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:28 - And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:29 - They were filled with all manner of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, they are gossips,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:30 - slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:31 - foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 1:32 - Though they know God's decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them but approve those who practice them.
