Romans

For there is no respect of persons with God.

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

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.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

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.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

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.

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:

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

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.
