45:001:008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ
for you all, that
your
faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
45:001:009 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;
45:001:010 Making request, if by any means now at
length I might have a
prosperous
journey by the will of God to come unto you.
45:001:011 For I long to see you, that I may impart
unto you some
spiritual
gift, to the end ye may be established;
45:001:012 That is, that I may be comforted together
with you by the
mutual
faith both of you and me.
45:001:013 Now 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.
45:001:014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to
the Barbarians; both to
the
wise, and to the unwise.
45:001:015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to
preach the gospel to
you
that are at Rome also.
45:001:016 For 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.
45:001:017 For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to
faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
45:001:018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all
ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
45:001:019 Because that which may be known of God
is manifest in them;
for
God hath shewed it unto them.
45:001:020 For 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:
45:001:021 Because 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.
45:001:022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
45:001:023 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible
God into an image
made
like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts,
and creeping things.
45:001:024 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the
lusts
of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
between
themselves:
45:001:025 Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and
served
the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
