| 1:1 | Poul, the seruaunt of Jhesu Crist, clepid an apostle, departid in to the gospel of God; |
| 1:2 | which he hadde bihote tofore bi his profetis in holi scripturis of his sone, |
| 1:3 | which is maad to hym of the seed of Dauid bi the flesch, |
| 1:4 | and he was bifor ordeyned the sone of God in vertu, bi the spirit of halewyng of the ayenrisyng of deed men, of Jhesu Crist oure Lord, |
| 1:5 | bi whom we han resseyued grace and the office of apostle, to obeie to the feith in alle folkis for his name, |

| 1:14 | To Grekis and to barberyns, to wise men and to vnwise men, |
| 1:15 | Y am dettour, so that that is in me is redi to preche the gospel also to you that ben at Rome. |
| 1:16 | For Y schame not the gospel, for it is the vertu of God in to heelthe to ech man that bileueth, to the Jew first, and to the Greke. |
| 1:17 | For the riytwisnesse of God is schewid in it, of feith in to feith, |
| 1:18 | as it is writun, For a iust man lyueth of feith. For the wraththe of God is schewid fro heuene on al vnpite and wickidnesse of tho men, that withholden the treuthe of God in vnriytwisnes. |
| 1:19 | For that thing of God that is knowun, is schewid to hem, for God hath schewid to hem. |
| 1:20 | For the vnuysible thingis of hym, that ben vndurstondun, ben biholdun of the creature of the world, bi tho thingis that ben maad, yhe, and the euerlastynge vertu of hym and the godhed, so that thei mowe not be excusid. |
| 1:21 | For whanne thei hadden knowe God, thei glorifieden hym not as God, nether diden thankyngis; but thei vanyschiden in her thouyts, and the vnwise herte of hem was derkid. |
| 1:22 | For thei `seiynge that hem silf weren wise, thei weren maad foolis. |
| 1:23 | And thei chaungiden the glorie of `God vncorruptible in to the licnesse of an ymage of a deedli man, and of briddis, and of foure footid beestis, and of serpentis. |
| 1:24 | For which thing God bitook hem in to the desiris of her herte, in to vnclennesse, that thei punysche with wrongis her bodies in hem silf. |
| 1:25 | The whiche chaungiden the treuthe of God in to leesyng, and herieden and serueden a creature rathere than to the creatoure, that is blessid in to worldis of worldis. |
| 1:26 | Amen. Therfor God bitook hem in to passiouns of schenschipe. For the wymmen of hem chaungiden the kyndli vss in to that vss that is ayens kynde. |
| 1:27 | Also the men forsoken the kyndli vss of womman, and brenneden in her desiris togidere, and men in to men wrouyten filthehed, and resseyueden in to hem silf the meede that bihofte of her errour. |
| 1:28 | And as thei preueden that thei hadden not God in knowyng, God bitook hem in to a repreuable wit, that thei do tho thingis that ben not couenable; that thei ben fulfillid with al wickidnesse, |
| 1:29 | malice, fornycacioun, coueitise, weiwardnesse, ful of enuye, mansleyngis, strijf, gile, yuel wille, preuy bacbiteris, detractouris, |
| 1:30 | hateful to God, debateris, proude, and hiy ouer mesure, fynderis of yuele thingis, not obeschynge to fadir and modir, |
| 1:31 | vnwise, vnmanerli, withouten loue, withouten boond of pees, with outen merci. |
| 1:32 | The whiche whanne thei hadden knowe the riytwisnesse of God, vndirstoden not, that thei that don siche thingis ben worthi the deth, not oneli thei that don tho thingis, but also thei that consenten to the doeris. |
| 1:1 | Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God, |
| 1:2 | (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures) |
| 1:3 | Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh, |
| 1:4 | And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead) |
| 1:5 | By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles, |
| 1:6 | Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ: |
| 1:7 | To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:8 | First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world. |
| 1:9 | For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you |
| 1:10 | Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you. |
| 1:11 | For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened: |
| 1:12 | That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine. |
| 1:13 | Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles. |
| 1:14 | I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise. |
| 1:15 | Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome. |
| 1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian. |
| 1:17 | For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith. |
| 1:18 | For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse. |
| 1:19 | Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them. |
| 1:20 | For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: |
| 1:21 | Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse. |
| 1:22 | When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles. |
| 1:23 | For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things. |
| 1:24 | Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues: |
| 1:25 | Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. |
| 1:26 | For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature. |
| 1:27 | And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete. |
| 1:28 | For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient, |
| 1:29 | Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers, |
| 1:30 | Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents, without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse. |
| 1:31 | Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them. |
| 1:1 | Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God, |
| 1:2 | which He had promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, |
| 1:3 | concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, |
| 1:4 | and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. |
| 1:5 | By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, |
| 1:6 | among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; |
| 1:7 | To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:8 | First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the entire world. |
| 1:9 | Because, 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, |
| 1:10 | making request if, by some means, now at last I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you. |
| 1:11 | Because, I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established; |
| 1:12 | that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. |
| 1:13 | Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you, (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among other Gentiles. |
| 1:14 | I am a debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise. |
| 1:15 | So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. |
| 1:16 | Because, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. |
| 1:17 | Because in it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just will live by faith." |
| 1:18 | Because, the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, |
| 1:19 | because what may be known of God is manifest in them, because God has shown it to them. |
| 1:20 | Because, since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse, |
| 1:21 | because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened. |
| 1:22 | Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, |
| 1:23 | and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds and four footed animals and creeping things. |
| 1:24 | Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves, |
| 1:25 | who changed the truth of God into lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. |
| 1:26 | For this reason God gave them over to vile passions. Because, even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. |
| 1:27 | And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men doing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves that penalty of their error which was due. |
| 1:28 | 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 appropriate; |
| 1:29 | being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deception, malignity; being whisperers, |
| 1:30 | backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, |
| 1:31 | without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; |
| 1:32 | who knowing the judgment of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but approve those who do them. |
