¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,41 sermons²(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)39 sermons³Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;39 sermons⁴And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:40 sermons⁵By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:35 sermons⁶Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:33 sermons⁷To 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.37 sermons⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.36 sermons⁹For 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;35 sermons¹⁰Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.35 sermons¹¹For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;35 sermons¹²That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.33 sermons¹³Now 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.35 sermons¹⁴I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.36 sermons¹⁵So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.37 sermons¹⁶For 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.70 sermons¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.58 sermons¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;35 sermons¹⁹Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.34 sermons²⁰For 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:37 sermons²¹Because 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.45 sermons²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,38 sermons²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.36 sermons²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:35 sermons²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.36 sermons²⁶For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:34 sermons²⁷And 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.34 sermons²⁸And 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;33 sermons²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,34 sermons³⁰Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,32 sermons³¹Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 sermons³²Who 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.32 sermons
