| 1:1 | Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God -- |
| 1:2 | which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings -- |
| 1:3 | concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, |
| 1:4 | who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord; |
| 1:5 | through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name; |
| 1:6 | among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ; |
| 1:7 | to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and `from' the Lord Jesus Christ! |
| 1:8 | first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world; |
| 1:9 | for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, |
| 1:10 | always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you, |
| 1:11 | for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established; |
| 1:12 | and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. |
| 1:13 | And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations. |
| 1:14 | Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor, |
| 1:15 | so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who `are' in Rome to proclaim good news, |
| 1:16 | for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek. |
| 1:17 | For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,' |
| 1:18 | for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness. |
| 1:19 | Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest `it' to them, |
| 1:20 | for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable; |
| 1:21 | because, having known God they did not glorify `Him' as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened, |
| 1:22 | professing to be wise, they were made fools, |
| 1:23 | and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles. |
| 1:24 | Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves; |
| 1:25 | who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen. |
| 1:26 | Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; |
| 1:27 | and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving. |
| 1:28 | And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly; |
| 1:29 | having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, |
| 1:30 | evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, |
| 1:31 | unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; |
| 1:32 | who the righteous judgment of God having known -- that those practising such things are worthy of death -- not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them. |
| 1:1 | Paul the seruaut of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle put a parte to preache the Gospell of God |
| 1:2 | which he promysed afore by his Prophetes in the holy scriptures |
| 1:3 | that make mension of his sonne the which was begotte of the seed of David as pertayninge to the flesshe: |
| 1:4 | and declared to be the sonne of God with power of the holy goost that sanctifieth sence ye tyme that Iesus Christ oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth |
| 1:5 | by whom we have receaved grace and apostleshyppe to bringe all maner hethe people vnto obedience of the fayth that is in his name: |
| 1:6 | of the which hethen are ye a part also which are Iesus christes by vocacio. |
| 1:7 | To all you of Rome beloved of God and saynctes by callinge. Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. |
| 1:8 | Fyrst verely I thanke my God thorow Iesus Christ for you all because youre fayth is publisshed through out all the worlde. |
| 1:9 | For God is my witnes whom I serve with my sprete in the Gospell of his sonne that with out ceasinge I make mencion of you alwayes in my prayers |
| 1:10 | besechinge that at one tyme or another a prosperous iorney (by ye will of god) myght fortune me to come vnto you. |
| 1:11 | For I longe to see you that I myght bestowe amoge you some spirituall gyfte to strength you with all: |
| 1:12 | that is that I myght have consolacion together with you through the commen fayth which bothe ye and I have. |
| 1:13 | I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethre how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of ye Gentyls. |
| 1:14 | For I am detter both to the Grekes and to them which are no Grekes vnto the learned and also vnto the vnlearned. |
| 1:15 | Lykewyse as moche as in me is I am redy to preache the Gospell to you of Rome also. |
| 1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle. |
| 1:17 | For by it ye rightewesnes which cometh of god is opened fro fayth to fayth. As it is written: The iust shall live by fayth. |
| 1:18 | For the wrath of God apereth from heven agaynst all vngodlynes and vnrightewesnes of me which withholde ye trueth in vnrightewesnes |
| 1:19 | seynge what maye be knowen of God that same is manifest amoge them. For God dyd shewe it vnto them. |
| 1:20 | So that his invisible thinges: that is to saye his eternall power and godhed are vnderstonde and sene by the workes from the creacion of the worlde. So that they are without excuse |
| 1:21 | in as moche as when they knewe god they glorified him not as God nether were thakfull but wexed full of vanities in their imaginacions and their folisshe hertes were blynded. |
| 1:23 | When they couted them selves wyse they became foles and turned the glory of the immortall god vnto the similitude of the ymage of mortall man and of byrdes and foure foted beastes and of serpentes. |
| 1:24 | Wherfore god lykewyse gave the vp vnto their hertes lustes vnto vnclennes to defyle their awne boddyes bitwene them selves: |
| 1:25 | which tourned his truthe vnto a lye and worshipped and served the creatures more then ye maker which is blessed for ever. Ame. |
| 1:26 | For this cause god gave them vp vnto shamfull lustes. For even their wemen did chaunge the naturall vse vnto the vnnaturall. |
| 1:27 | And lyke wyse also the men lefte the naturall vse of the woma and bret in their lustes one on another. And man with man wrought filthynes and receaved in them selves the rewarde of their erroure as it was accordinge. |
| 1:28 | And as it semed not good vnto them to be aknowen of God even so God delivered them vp vnto a leawde mynd yt they shuld do tho thinges which were not comly |
| 1:29 | beinge full of all vnrighteous doinge of fornicacio wickednes coveteousnes maliciousnes full of envie morther debate disseyte evill codicioned whisperers |
| 1:30 | backbyters haters of God doers of wroge proude bosters bringers vp of evyll thinges disobedient to father and mother |
| 1:31 | with out vnderstondinge covenaunte breakers vnlovinge trucebreakers and merciles. |
| 1:32 | Which me though they knew the rightewesnes of God how that they which soche thinges commyt are worthy of deeth yet not only do the same but also have pleasure in them that do them. |
| 1:1 | Pavl the seruaunte of Iesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, put aparte to preach the Gospell of God |
| 1:2 | (which he promysed a fore by his prophetes in ye holy scriptures) |
| 1:3 | off his sonne, which was begotte of ye sede of Dauid after the flesh: |
| 1:4 | and mightely declared to be the sonne of God after the sprete which sanctifieth, sence the tyme that he rose agayne from the deed, namely, Iesus Christ oure LORDE, |
| 1:5 | by whom we haue receaued grace and Apostelshippe amonge all Heythen, to set vp the obedience of faith vnder his name, |
| 1:6 | of whom ye are a parte also, which are called of Iesus Christ. |
| 1:7 | To all you that be at Rome, beloued of God, and sayntes by callynge Grace be wt you and peace fro God oure father, and the LORDE Iesus Christ. |
| 1:8 | First, I thanke my God thorow Iesus Christ for you all, that youre faith is spoken of thorow out all the worlde. |
| 1:9 | For God is my witnesse ( whom I serue in my sprete in the Gospell of his sonne) that without ceassynge I make mencion of you besekinge allwayes in my prayers, |
| 1:10 | that I mighte once haue a prosperous iourney ( by the will off God) to come vnto you. |
| 1:11 | For I longe to se you, that I mighte bestowe vpon you some spirituall gifte to stregth you |
| 1:12 | (that is)that I mighte be conforted with you, thorow yor faith & myne, which we haue together. |
| 1:13 | But I wolde ye shulde knowe (brethren) how that I haue often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hither to) that I mighte do some good amonge you, like as amonge other Gentyles. |
| 1:14 | I am detter both to the Grekes, and to the vngrekes, to the wyse and to the vnwyse. |
| 1:15 | Wherfore (as moch as i me is) I am ready to preach the Gospell vnto you at Rome also. |
| 1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ: for it is the power of God, which saueth all that beleue theron, the Iewe first & also the Greke: |
| 1:17 | for in it ye righteousnes that is of value before God, is opened, which cometh out of faith i to faith. |
| 1:18 | As it is wrytte: The iust shal lyue by his faith. For ye wrath of God is declared from heauen vpon all vngodlynes and vnrighteousnes of me,which witholde the trueth of God in vnrighteousnes: |
| 1:19 | because that it, which maye be knowne of God, is manifest with the. For God hath shewed it vnto the, |
| 1:20 | that the inuisible thinges of God (that is, his euerlastinge power and Godheade) mighte be sene whyle they are considered by the workes from the creacion of the worlde: so that they are without excuse, |
| 1:21 | in as moch as they knewe, that there is a God, and haue not praysed him as God ner thanked him, but became vayne in their ymaginacions, and their foolish hert was blynded. |
| 1:22 | Whan they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles: |
| 1:23 | and turned ye glory of the incorruptible God in to ye symilitude of ye ymage of a corruptible ma, & of byrdes, & of foure foted, & of crepinge beestes |
| 1:24 | Wherfore God likewyse gaue them vp vnto their hertes lustes in to vnclennes, to defyle their awne bodies in them selues, |
| 1:25 | which turned the trueth of God vnto a lye, & worshipped and serued the creature more then the maker, which is blessed for euer. Amen. |
| 1:26 | Therfore God gaue the vp vnto shamefull lustes. For their wemen chaunged the naturall vse in to the vnnaturall: |
| 1:27 | likewyse ye me also lefte the naturall vse of the woman, and brent in their lustes one on another, and man with man wrought fylthines, and receaued in them selues the rewarde of their erroure, as it was acordinge. |
| 1:28 | And as they regarded not to knowe God, euen so God gaue the vp in to a lewde mynde, to do those thinges which were not comly, |
| 1:29 | beynge full of all vnrighteousnes, whordome, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuye, murthur, strife, disceate, euell codicioned whisperers, |
| 1:30 | backbyters, despysers of God, doers of wronge, proude, boosters, bryngers vp of euell thinges, disobedient to their Elders, |
| 1:31 | without vnderstondinge, couenaunt breakers, vnlouynge, stubborne, vnmercifull: |
| 1:32 | which men, though they knowe the righteousnes of God (that they which do soch, are worthy of death) yet not onely do the same, but also haue pleasure in those that do the. |
