Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated (Acts 9:15) unto the gospel of God,KJRV — Romans 1:1

2 (Which he had promised (Titus 1:2) afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)KJRV — Romans 1:2

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;KJRV — Romans 1:3

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, (1 Corinthians 1:24) according to the spirit (Matthew 3:16; John 15:26; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 John 5:6) of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:KJRV — Romans 1:4

5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: (Acts 9:15)KJRV — Romans 1:5

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:KJRV — Romans 1:6

7 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.KJRV — Romans 1:7

8 First, I thank (Philippians 1:3) my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith (1 Thessalonians 1:8) is spoken of throughout the whole world.KJRV — Romans 1:8

9 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;KJRV — Romans 1:9

10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will (James 4:15) of God to come unto you.KJRV — Romans 1:10

11 For I long to see you, (Romans 15:29) that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;KJRV — Romans 1:11

12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.KJRV — Romans 1:12

13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come (Romans 15:23) unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.KJRV — Romans 1:13

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.KJRV — Romans 1:14

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.KJRV — Romans 1:15

16 For I am not ashamed (2 Timothy 1:8) of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18) unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.KJRV — Romans 1:16

17 For therein is the righteousness (Romans 3:21) of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.Habakkuk 2:4 Hab 2:4Habakkuk 2:4 , Gal 3:11Galatians 3:11, Heb 10:38Hebrews 10:38KJRV — Romans 1:17

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness (Job 24:13) of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;KJRV — Romans 1:18

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (John 1:9)KJRV — Romans 1:19

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation (Genesis 1:1; Job 38:4; Isaiah 44:24; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 11:3; Revelation 4:11) of the world are clearly seen, (Psalms 19:1) being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:KJRV — Romans 1:20

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not (Psalms 106:13) as God, neither were thankful; but became vain (2 Kings 17:15) in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.KJRV — Romans 1:21

22 Professing themselves to be wise, (Jeremiah 10:14) they became fools,KJRV — Romans 1:22

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God (Isaiah 40:18) into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.KJRV — Romans 1:23

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness (Matthew 23:27; Romans 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; Ephesians 5:3; Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:7) through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies (1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:4) between themselves:KJRV — Romans 1:24

25 Who changed the truth (1 Thessalonians 1:9) of God into a lie, (Isaiah 44:20; Jeremiah 13:25; Amos 2:4) and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.KJRV — Romans 1:25

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile (Jude 1:10) affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:KJRV — Romans 1:26

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men (Leviticus 18:22) with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.KJRV — Romans 1:27

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 convenient; (Ephesians 5:4)KJRV — Romans 1:28

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,KJRV — Romans 1:29

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,KJRV — Romans 1:30

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:KJRV — Romans 1:31

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure (Psalms 10:3; 1 Corinthians 13:6) in them that do them.KJRV — Romans 1:32
