CHAP. I.
1 Paul commendeth his calling to the Romanes, 9 and his desire to come to them. 16 What his Gospel is, and the righteousnesse which it sheweth. 18 God is angry with all maner of sin. 21 What were the sinnes of the Gentiles.
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ, called to bee an Apostle, separated vnto the Gospel of God,1
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophets in the holy Scriptures,)
4 And declared to be the Sonne of God, with power, according to the Spirit of holinesse, by the resurrection from the dead.4
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his Name,5
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Iesus Christ.
9 For God is my witnesse, whom I serue with my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne, that without ceasing I make mention of you, alwayes in my prayers,9
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.12
13 Now I would not haue you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come vnto you, (but was let hitherto) that I might haue some fruit among you also, euen as among other Gentiles.13
14 I am debter both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise, and to the vnwise.
15 So, as much as in mee is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
17 For therein is the righteousnesse of God reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.17
19 Because that which may bee knowen of God, is manifest in them, for God hath shewed it vnto them.19
20 For the inuisible things of him from the Creation of the world, are clearely seene, being vnderstood by the things that are made, euen his eternall Power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse:20
22 Professing themselues to be wise, they became fooles:
23 And changed the glory of the vncorruptible God, into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birdes, and foure footed beasts, and creeping things:23
28 And euen as they did not like to retaine God in their knowledge, God gaue them ouer to a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient:28
31 Without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, implacable, vnmercifull;31
32 Who knowing the iudgement of God, (that they which commit such things, are worthy of death) not onely do the same, but haue pleasure in them that doe them.32
