Romans - ch 1 v 1 - 20
- Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
- which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
- concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
- who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
- through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
- among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
- to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
- For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
- requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
- For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
- that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.
- Now I don't desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
- I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
- So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
- For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
- For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."1
- For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
- because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
- For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
- Habakkuk 2:4
