{Romans 1:1} Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God, {Romans 1:2} (Which he had promised afore by
his prophets in the holy scriptures,) {Romans 1:3} Concerning his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the
flesh; {Romans 1:4} And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according
to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: {Romans 1:5} By
whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith
among all nations, for his name: {Romans 1:6} Among whom are ye also the
called of Jesus Christ: {Romans 1:7} To all that be in Rome, beloved of God,
called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and
the Lord Jesus Christ. {Romans 1:8} First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. {Romans 1:9} 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; {Romans 1:10}
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous
journey by the will of God to come unto you. {Romans 1:11} For I long to see
you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may
be established; {Romans 1:12} That is, that I may be comforted together with
you by the mutual faith both of you and me. {Romans 1:13} 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. {Romans 1:14} I am debtor both to the Greeks,
and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. {Romans 1:15} So,
as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at
Rome also. {Romans 1:16} 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.
{Romans 1:17} For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
{Romans 1:18} For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness; {Romans 1:19} Because that which may be known of God is
manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them. {Romans 1:20} 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: {Romans 1:21} 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. {Romans 1:22} Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools,
{Romans 1:23} 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.
{Romans 1:24} Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between
themselves: {Romans 1:25} 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. {Romans 1:26} 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: {Romans 1:27} 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. {Romans 1:28} 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; {Romans 1:29} Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity; whisperers, {Romans 1:30} Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents, {Romans 1:31} Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: {Romans 1:32} 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. {Romans 2:1} Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for
thou that judgest doest the same things. {Romans 2:2} But we are sure that the
judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such
things. {Romans 2:3} 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? {Romans 2:4} Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance
and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance? {Romans 2:5} 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;
{Romans 2:6} Who
will render to every man according to his deeds:
{Romans 2:7} To them who by patient
continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality,
eternal life: {Romans 2:8} But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey
the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, {Romans 2:9}
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the
Jew first, and also of the Gentile; {Romans 2:10} But glory, honour, and
peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to
the Gentile: {Romans 2:11} For there is no respect of persons with God. {Romans
2:12}
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law:
and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
{Romans 2:13} (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified. {Romans 2:14} For when the Gentiles,
which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law,
these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: {Romans 2:15} Which shew
the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also
bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else
excusing one another;) {Romans 2:16} In the day when God shall judge the
secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. {Romans 2:17} Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and
makest thy boast of God, {Romans 2:18} And knowest [his] will, and approvest
the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
{Romans 2:19} And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a
light of them which are in darkness, {Romans 2:20} An instructor of the
foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of
the truth in the law. {Romans 2:21} Thou therefore which teachest another,
teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal,
dost thou steal? {Romans 2:22} Thou that sayest a man should not commit
adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost
thou commit sacrilege? {Romans 2:23} Thou that makest thy boast of the law,
through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
{Romans 2:24} For
the name of
God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
{Romans 2:25} For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if
thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
{Romans 2:26} Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the
law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? {Romans 2:27}
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law,
judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
{Romans 2:28} For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that]
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: {Romans 2:29} But he [is] a Jew,
which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the
spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of
God. {Romans 3:1} What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of
circumcision? {Romans 3:2} Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them
were committed the oracles of God. {Romans 3:3} For what if some did not
believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
{Romans 3:4} God
forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That
thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when
thou art judged.
{Romans 3:5} But if our unrighteousness commend
the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who
taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) {Romans 3:6} God forbid: for then how
shall God judge the world? {Romans 3:7} For if the truth of God hath more
abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a
sinner? {Romans 3:8} And not [rather,] (as we be slanderously reported, and as
some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose
damnation is just. {Romans 3:9} What then? are we better [than they?] No, in no wise: for we
have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
{Romans 3:10} As
it is written, There is
none righteous, no, not one:
{Romans
3:11} There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh
after God.
{Romans 3:12}
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there
is none that doeth good, no, not one.
{Romans 3:13} Their
throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have
used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
{Romans 3:14} Whose
mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
{Romans 3:15}
Their feet [are] swift to
shed blood:
{Romans 3:16}
Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
{Romans
3:17}And the way of peace they not known:
{Romans 3:18}
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
{Romans 3:19} Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith
to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all
the world may become guilty before God.
{Romans 3:20}
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
{Romans 3:21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {Romans 3:22} Even
the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all
and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: {Romans 3:23} For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; {Romans 3:24} Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus: {Romans 3:25} Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of
sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; {Romans 3:26} To declare,
[I say,] at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the
justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. {Romans 3:27} Where [is] boasting
then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of
faith. {Romans 3:28} Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law. {Romans 3:29} [Is he] the God of the Jews only?
[is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: {Romans 3:30}
Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith,
and uncircumcision through faith. {Romans 3:31} Do we then make void the law
through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. {Romans 4:1} What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining
to the flesh, hath found? {Romans 4:2} For if Abraham were justified by works,
he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.
{Romans 4:3} For
what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
{Romans 4:4} Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned
of grace, but of debt. {Romans 4:5} But to him that worketh not, but believeth
on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness. {Romans 4:6} Even as David also describeth the blessedness of
the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
{Romans 4:7}Saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
{Romans 4:8}
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
{Romans 4:9} Cometh
this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision
also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham
for righteousness.
{Romans 4:10} How was it then reckoned?
when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision,
but in uncircumcision. {Romans 4:11} And he received the sign of circumcision,
a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had yet] being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe,
though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed
unto them also: {Romans 4:12} And the father of circumcision to them who are
not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that
faith of our father Abraham, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.
{Romans 4:13} For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was]
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith. {Romans 4:14} For if they which are of the law [be]
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: {Romans 4:15}
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no
transgression. {Romans 4:16} Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by
grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to
that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith
of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
{Romans 4:17} (As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him
whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things
which be not as though they were.
{Romans 4:18} Who
against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations,
according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed
be.
{Romans 4:19} And being not weak in faith, he
considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred
years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: {Romans 4:20} He
staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in
faith, giving glory to God; {Romans 4:21} And being fully persuaded that, what
he had promised, he was able also to perform.
{Romans 4:22} And
therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
{Romans 4:23} Now it was not written for
his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; {Romans 4:24} But for us also, to
whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our
Lord from the dead; {Romans 4:25} Who was delivered for our offences, and was
raised again for our justification. {Romans 5:1} Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: {Romans 5:2} By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God. {Romans 5:3} And not only [so,] but we glory in tribulations
also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; {Romans 5:4} And patience,
experience; and experience, hope:
{Romans 5:5}
And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in
our hearts
by the
Holy Ghost which is
given unto us.
{Romans 5:6} For when we were yet without strength, in
due time Christ died for the ungodly. {Romans 5:7} For scarcely for a
righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would
even dare to die. {Romans 5:8} But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. {Romans 5:9} Much more then,
being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through
him. {Romans 5:10} For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by
his life. {Romans 5:11} And not only [so,] but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
{Romans 5:12} Wherefore,
as by
one man sin
entered into the world,
and
death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for
that all have
sinned:
{Romans 5:13} (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
imputed when there is no law. {Romans 5:14} Nevertheless death reigned from
Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude
of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
{Romans 5:15} But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God,
and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath
abounded unto many. {Romans 5:16} And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so
is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the
free gift [is] of many offences unto justification. {Romans 5:17} For if by
one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life
by one, Jesus Christ.) {Romans 5:18} Therefore as by the offence of one
[judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto
justification of life. {Romans 5:19} For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous. {Romans 5:20} Moreover the law entered, that the offence might
abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: {Romans 5:21} That
as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. {Romans 6:1} What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
may abound? {Romans 6:2} God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live
any longer therein? {Romans 6:3} Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? {Romans 6:4}
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as
Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life. {Romans 6:5} For if we have been
planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the
likeness of his] resurrection: {Romans 6:6} Knowing this, that our old man is
crucified with [him,] that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin. {Romans 6:7} For he that is dead is freed
from sin. {Romans 6:8} Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him: {Romans 6:9} Knowing that Christ being raised from the
dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. {Romans 6:10} For in
that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth
unto God. {Romans 6:11} Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed
unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. {Romans 6:12} Let
not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in
the lusts thereof. {Romans 6:13} Neither yield ye your members [as]
instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as]
instruments of righteousness unto God. {Romans 6:14} For sin shall not have
dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
{Romans 6:15} What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
under grace? God forbid. {Romans 6:16} Know ye not, that to whom ye yield
yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? {Romans 6:17}
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
{Romans 6:18} Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
righteousness. {Romans 6:19} I speak after the manner of men because of the
infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants
to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your
members servants to righteousness unto holiness. {Romans 6:20} For when ye
were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. {Romans 6:21} What
fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things [is] death. {Romans 6:22} But now being made free from
sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and
the end everlasting life. {Romans 6:23} For the wages of sin [is] death; but
the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. {Romans 7:1} Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the
law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
{Romans 7:2} For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her]
husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed
from the law of [her] husband. {Romans 7:3} So then if, while [her] husband
liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so
that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. {Romans 7:4}
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body
of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is
raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. {Romans 7:5}
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the
law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. {Romans 7:6} But
now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were
held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the
oldness of the letter.
{Romans 7:7} What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I
had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the
law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
{Romans 7:8} But sin, taking occasion by
the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without
the law sin [was] dead. {Romans 7:9} For I was alive without the law once: but
when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. {Romans 7:10} And the
commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death.
{Romans 7:11} For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by
it slew [me. ]{Romans 7:12} Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment
holy, and just, and good. {Romans 7:13} Was then that which is good made death
unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death
in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become
exceeding sinful. {Romans 7:14} For we know that the law is spiritual: but I
am carnal, sold under sin. {Romans 7:15} For that which I do I allow not: for
what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. {Romans 7:16} If then
I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.
{Romans 7:17} Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in
me. {Romans 7:18} For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no
good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that
which is good I find not. {Romans 7:19} For the good that I would I do not:
but the evil which I would not, that I do. {Romans 7:20} Now if I do that I
would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
{Romans 7:21} I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present
with me. {Romans 7:22} For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
{Romans 7:23} But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of
my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in
my members.
{Romans 7:24}
O wretched man that I am!
who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?
{Romans 7:25} I thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the
flesh the law of sin. {Romans 8:1} [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {Romans 8:2}
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death. {Romans 8:3} For what the law could not do, in
that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
{Romans 8:4} That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {Romans 8:5} For they that are
after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are
after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
{Romans 8:6} For
to be carnally
minded [is]
death; but
to be
spiritually-minded [is]
life and peace.
{Romans 8:7} Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. {Romans 8:8} So then they
that are in the flesh cannot please God. {Romans 8:9} But ye are not in the
flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. {Romans 8:10}
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the
Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. {Romans 8:11} But if the Spirit of
him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up
Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you. {Romans 8:12} Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to
live after the flesh. {Romans 8:13} For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye
shall live. {Romans 8:14} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God. {Romans 8:15} For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father. {Romans 8:16} The Spirit itself beareth witness
with our spirit, that we are the children of God: {Romans 8:17} And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so
be that we suffer with [him,] that we may be also glorified together. {Romans 8:18} For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are]
not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in
us. {Romans 8:19} For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God. {Romans 8:20} For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath
subjected [the same] in hope, {Romans 8:21} Because the creature itself also
shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God. {Romans 8:22} For we know that the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {Romans 8:23} And
not only [they,] but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, [to wit,] the redemption of our body. {Romans 8:24} For we are saved
by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for? {Romans 8:25} But if we hope for that we see not, [then]
do we with patience wait for [it. ]{Romans 8:26} Likewise the Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings
which cannot be uttered. {Romans 8:27} And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. {Romans 8:28} And
we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. {Romans 8:29} For whom
he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the
image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
{Romans 8:30} Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom
he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified. {Romans 8:31} What shall we then say to these things? If God [be]
for us, who [can be] against us? {Romans 8:32} He that spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely
give us all things? {Romans 8:33} Who shall lay any thing to the charge of
God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth. {Romans 8:34} Who [is] he that
condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for
us. {Romans 8:35} Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall]
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?
{Romans 8:36} As it
is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as
sheep for the slaughter.
{Romans 8:37}
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that
loved us. {Romans 8:38} For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, {Romans 8:39} Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord. {Romans 9:1} I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, {Romans 9:2} That I have great heaviness
and continual sorrow in my heart. {Romans 9:3} For I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the
flesh: {Romans 9:4} Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and
the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the
service [of God,] and the promises; {Romans 9:5} Whose [are] the fathers, and
of whom as concerning the flesh Christ [came,] who is over all, God
blessed for ever. Amen. {Romans 9:6} Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they
[are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
{Romans 9:7} Neither,
because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In
Isaac shall thy seed be called.
{Romans 9:8} That is, They which are the children of the
flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the
promise are counted for the seed.
{Romans 9:9} For this
is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have
a son.
{Romans 9:10}
And not only [this;] but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even]
by our father Isaac; {Romans 9:11} (For [the children] being not yet born,
neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according
to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
{Romans 9:12}
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
{Romans 9:13} As
it
is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
{Romans 9:14} What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God?
God forbid.
{Romans 9:15} For
he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion.
{Romans 9:16} So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him
that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
{Romans 9:17} For
the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose
have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and
that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
{Romans 9:18} Therefore hath he mercy on whom he
will [have mercy,] and whom he will he hardeneth. {Romans 9:19} Thou wilt say
then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his
will?
{Romans 9:20} Nay
but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it,]
Why hast thou made me thus?
{Romans 9:21} Hath not
the potter power over the clay, of the same
lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
{Romans 9:22}
[What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power
known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to
destruction: {Romans 9:23} And that he might make known the riches of his
glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
{Romans 9:24} Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of
the Gentiles?
{Romans 9:25} As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my
people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not
beloved.
{Romans 9:26} And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it
was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called
the children of the living God.
{Romans 9:27}
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of
the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
{Romans 9:28} For
he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
{Romans 9:29} And
as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a
seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
{Romans 9:30} What shall we say then? That the Gentiles,
which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith. {Romans 9:31} But Israel, which
followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law
of righteousness. {Romans 9:32} Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by
faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at
that stumblingstone;
{Romans 9:33} As
it is written,
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone
and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not
be ashamed.
{Romans 10:1} Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
that they might be saved. {Romans 10:2} For I bear them record that they have
a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. {Romans 10:3} For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own
righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God. {Romans 10:4} For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believeth.
{Romans 10:5} For
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man
which doeth those things shall live by them.
{Romans 10:6} But
the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in
thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down
from above:)
Romans 10:6 But
the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that
is, to bring Christ down from above:)
{Romans 10:7} Or,
Who shall descend
into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
{Romans 10:8}
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth,
and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
{Romans 10:9}
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. {Romans 10:10} For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
{Romans 10:11} For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not
be ashamed. {Romans 10:12} For there is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
{Romans 10:13} For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
{Romans 10:14} How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
{Romans 10:15}
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things!
{Romans 10:16}
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For
Esaias saith,
Lord, who hath believed our report?
{Romans 10:17}
So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
{Romans 10:18}
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the
earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
{Romans 10:19}But
I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to
jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish
nation I will anger you.
{Romans 10:20} But Esaias is very bold, and saith,
I was found
of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked
not after me.
{Romans 10:21} But to Israel he saith,
All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
{Romans 11:1} I say then, Hath God cast away his people?
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin.
{Romans 11:2}
God hath
not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God
against Israel, saying,
{Romans 11:3} Lord,
they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
{Romans 11:4} But
what saith the answer of God unto him? I have
reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to
the image of Baal.
{Romans 11:5} Even so then at this present
time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. {Romans 11:6}
And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no
more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace:
otherwise work is no more work. {Romans 11:7} What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh
for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
{Romans 11:8}
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of
slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they
should not hear;) unto this day.
{Romans 11:9} And
David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
{Romans 11:10}
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their
back alway.
{Romans 11:11} I say then, Have they stumbled that they
should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is
come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. {Romans 11:12} Now
if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing
of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? {Romans 11:13} For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of
the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: {Romans 11:14} If by any means I may
provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of
them. {Romans 11:15} For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of
the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be,] but life from the
dead? {Romans 11:16} For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also
[holy:] and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches. {Romans 11:17} And
if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive
tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root
and fatness of the olive tree; {Romans 11:18} Boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
{Romans 11:19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might
be graffed in. {Romans 11:20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off,
and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: {Romans 11:21} For if
God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not
thee. {Romans 11:22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on
them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue
in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. {Romans 11:23} And
they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in:
for God is able to graff them in again. {Romans 11:24} For if thou wert cut
out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed
contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these,
which be the natural [branches,] be graffed into their own olive tree? {Romans 11:25} For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of
this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in.
{Romans 11:26} And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is
written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn
away ungodliness from Jacob:
{Romans 11:27}
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their
sins.
{Romans 11:27}For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away
their
sins.
{Romans 11:28} As concerning the
gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the
election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes. {Romans 11:29} For the
gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance. {Romans 11:30} For as ye in
times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through
their unbelief: {Romans 11:31} Even so have these also now not believed, that
through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. {Romans 11:32} For God hath
concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. {Romans 11:33} O the depth
of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his
judgments, and his ways past finding
out!
{Romans 11:34} For who hath known the mind of
the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
{Romans 11:35}
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
{Romans 11:36} For of him, and through him, and to
him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen. {Romans 12:1} I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, [which is] your reasonable service. {Romans 12:2} And be not conformed to
this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. {Romans 12:3} For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that
is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to
think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man
the measure of faith. {Romans 12:4} For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office: {Romans 12:5} So we, [being] many,
are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. {Romans 12:6}
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of
faith; {Romans 12:7} Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he
that teacheth, on teaching; {Romans 12:8} Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that
ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. {Romans 12:9} [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good. {Romans 12:10} [Be] kindly affectioned one
to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
{Romans 12:11} Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
{Romans 12:12} Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant
in prayer; {Romans 12:13} Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality. {Romans 12:14} Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse
not. {Romans 12:15} Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
weep.
{Romans 12:16} [Be]
of the same mind one toward another. Mind
not high
things, but condescend
to men
of low estate.
Be not wise in your own
conceits.
{Romans 12:17}
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of
all men.
{Romans 12:17}
Recompense to
no man
evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of
all men.
{Romans 12:18} If it
be possible, as much as
lieth in
you, live peaceably with
all men.
{Romans 12:19}
Dearly beloved,
avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath
: for
it is
written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
{Romans 12:20}Therefore
if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for
in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
{Romans 12:21} Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. {Romans 13:1} Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there
is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. {Romans 13:2}
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of
God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. {Romans 13:3}
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt
have praise of the same: {Romans 13:4} For he is the minister of God to thee
for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth
not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
[execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil. {Romans 13:5} Wherefore [ye] must
needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
{Romans 13:6} For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. {Romans 13:7} Render
therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due;] custom
to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. {Romans 13:8} Owe no
man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath
fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if
there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:9 For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be
any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans 13:9 For
this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be
any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not

this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be
any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
{Romans 13:10} Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law. {Romans 13:11} And that,
knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for
now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed. {Romans 13:12} The night
is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works
of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. {Romans 13:13} Let us walk
honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in
chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. {Romans 13:14} But put
ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to
[fulfil] the lusts [thereof. ]{Romans 14:1} Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to
doubtful disputations. {Romans 14:2} For one believeth that he may eat all
things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. {Romans 14:3} Let not him that
eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not
judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. {Romans 14:4} Who art thou
that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or
falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
{Romans 14:5} One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every
day [alike.] Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. {Romans 14:6}
He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that
regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it.] He that
eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that
eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. {Romans 14:7}
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. {Romans 14:8}
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die
unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
{Romans 14:9} For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he
might be Lord both of the dead and living. {Romans 14:10} But why dost thou
judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we
shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
{Romans 14:11}
For it
is
written, As I live,
saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God.
{Romans 14:12} So then every one of us
shall give account of himself to God. {Romans 14:13} Let us not therefore
judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a
stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way. {Romans 14:14} I
know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing
unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean,
to him [it is] unclean. {Romans 14:15} But if thy brother be grieved with
[thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy
meat, for whom Christ died. {Romans 14:16} Let not then your good be evil
spoken of: {Romans 14:17} For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. {Romans 14:18} For he
that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and
approved of men. {Romans 14:19} Let us therefore follow after the things which
make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. {Romans 14:20} For
meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it
is] evil for that man who eateth with offence. {Romans 14:21} [It is] good
neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy
brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. {Romans 14:22} Hast thou
faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth
not himself in that thing which he alloweth. {Romans 14:23} And he that
doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for
whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin. {Romans 15:1} We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak, and not to please ourselves. {Romans 15:2} Let every one of us please
[his] neighbour for [his] good to edification.
{Romans 15:3} For
even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of
them that reproached thee fell on me.
{Romans 15:4} For whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and
comfort of the scriptures might have hope. {Romans 15:5} Now the God of
patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another
according to Christ Jesus: {Romans 15:6} That ye may with one mind [and] one
mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. {Romans 15:7} Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us
to the glory of God. {Romans 15:8} Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister
of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises
[made] unto the fathers:
{Romans 15:9} And
that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this
cause I will confess to thee among the
Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
{Romans 15:10}
And again he
saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
{Romans 15:11}
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye
people.
Romans 15:12 And
again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse,
and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles;
in him
shall the
Gentiles trust.
Romans 15:12 And again, Esaias
saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to
reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
{Romans 15:13} Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy
Ghost. {Romans 15:14} And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that
ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to
admonish one another. {Romans 15:15} Nevertheless, brethren, I have written
the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because
of the grace that is given to me of God, {Romans 15:16} That I should be the
minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of
God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being
sanctified by the Holy Ghost. {Romans 15:17} I have therefore whereof I may
glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
{Romans 15:18} For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which
Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word
and deed, {Romans 15:19} Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the
Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum,
I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. {Romans 15:20} Yea, so have I
strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should
build upon another man's foundation:
{Romans 15:21}But
as it
is written, To
whom
he was
not
spoken
of ,
they
shall
see:
and
they
that have not
heard
shall understand.
{Romans 15:22} For which cause also I have been much
hindered from coming to you. {Romans 15:23} But now having no more place in
these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto
you; {Romans 15:24} Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to
you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way
thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your [company.
]{Romans 15:25} But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
{Romans 15:26} For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
{Romans 15:27} It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if
the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their
duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. {Romans 15:28} When
therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I
will come by you into Spain. {Romans 15:29} And I am sure that, when I come
unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of
Christ. {Romans 15:30} Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's
sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me
in [your] prayers to God for me; {Romans 15:31} That I may be delivered from
them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have]
for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; {Romans 15:32} That I may come
unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
{Romans 15:33} Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen. {Romans 16:1} I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of
the church which is at Cenchrea: {Romans 16:2} That ye receive her in the
Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business
she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of
myself also. {Romans 16:3} Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ
Jesus: {Romans 16:4} Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom
not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
{Romans 16:5} Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute my
wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
{Romans 16:6} Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. {Romans 16:7} Salute
Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of
note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. {Romans 16:8}
Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. {Romans 16:9} Salute Urbane, our helper
in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. {Romans 16:10} Salute Apelles approved in
Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' [household. ]{Romans 16:11}
Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the [household] of
Narcissus, which are in the Lord. {Romans 16:12} Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa,
who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much
in the Lord. {Romans 16:13} Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother
and mine. {Romans 16:14} Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes,
and the brethren which are with them. {Romans 16:15} Salute Philologus, and
Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which
are with them. {Romans 16:16} Salute one another with an holy kiss. The
churches of Christ salute you. {Romans 16:17} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them. {Romans 16:18} For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the
hearts of the simple. {Romans 16:19} For your obedience is come abroad unto
all [men.] I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you
wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. {Romans 16:20} And
the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen. {Romans 16:21} Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and
Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. {Romans 16:22} I Tertius, who wrote [this]
epistle, salute you in the Lord. {Romans 16:23} Gaius mine host, and of the
whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city
saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. {Romans 16:24} The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. {Romans 16:25} Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation
of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, {Romans 16:26}
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all
nations for the obedience of faith: {Romans 16:27} To God only wise, [be]
glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
