Romans - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,
- Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,
- About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,
- But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,
- Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:
- Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:
- To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.
- For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,
- And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.
- For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;
- That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.
- You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.
- I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning.
- For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.
- For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.
- For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.
- For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;
- Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.
- For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:
