<h3>Greeting</span></h3><p class="chapter-1"><span class="text Rom-1-1"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-1.htm"><b>1</b></a></span>Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called <i>to be</i> an apostle, separated to the gospel of God </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who <span class="fn"><a

<i>to be</i> the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, </span> <span

peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.</span></p> <h3> Desire to Visit Rome</span></h3><p><span class="text Rom-1-8"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>For God is my witness, whom I serve <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[b]</a></span>with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>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 the other Gentiles. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>So, as much as is in me, <i>I am</i> ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.</span></p> <h3> The Just Live by Faith</span></h3><p><span class="text Rom-1-16"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>For I am not ashamed of the gospel <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[c]</a></span>of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, <span class="oblique">“The just shall live by faith.”</span></span></p> <h3> God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness</span></h3><p><span class="text Rom-1-18"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[d]</a></span>suppress the truth in unrighteousness, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>because what may be known of God is <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[e]</a></span>manifest <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[f]</a></span>in them, for God has shown <i>it</i> to them. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>For since the creation of the world His invisible <i>attributes</i> are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, <i>even</i> His eternal power and <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[g]</a></span>Godhead, so that they are without excuse, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>because, although they knew God, they did not glorify <i>Him</i> as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Professing to be wise, they became fools, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[h]</a></span>corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[i]</a></span>women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Likewise also the <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[j]</a></span>men, leaving the natural use of the <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[k]</a></span>woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And even as they did not like to retain God in <i>their</i> knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>being filled with all unrighteousness, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[l]</a></span>sexual immorality, wickedness, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[m]</a></span>covetousness, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[n]</a></span>maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; <i>they are</i> whisperers, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span><span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[o]</a></span>undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[p]</a></span>unforgiving, unmerciful; </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.</span></p> <A name="footnotes"></a><div class="footnotes"><h4>Footnotes:</h4><ol><li id="fen-NKJV-27934a"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:3">Romans 1:3</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>came</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27940b"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:9">Romans 1:9</span> <span class='footnote-text'>Or <i>in</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27947c"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:16">Romans 1:16</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU omits <i>of Christ</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27949d"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:18">Romans 1:18</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>hold down</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27950e"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:19">Romans 1:19</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>evident</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27950f"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:19">Romans 1:19</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>among</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27951g"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:20">Romans 1:20</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>divine nature, deity</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27954h"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:23">Romans 1:23</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>perishable</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27957i"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:26">Romans 1:26</span> <span class='footnote-text'>Lit. <i>females</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27958j"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:27">Romans 1:27</span> <span class='footnote-text'>Lit. <i>males</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27958k"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:27">Romans 1:27</span> <span class='footnote-text'>Lit. <i>female</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27960l"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:29">Romans 1:29</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU omits <i>sexual immorality</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27960m"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:29">Romans 1:29</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>greed</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27960n"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:29">Romans 1:29</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>malice</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27962o"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:31">Romans 1:31</span> <span class='footnote-text'><i>without understanding</i></span></li><li id="fen-NKJV-27962p"><span class="fnref" title="Go to Romans 1:31">Romans 1:31</span> <span class='footnote-text'>NU omits <i>unforgiving</i></span></li></ol></div> <!--end of footnotes--></span></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson.
