exhortation, he came into Greece,

The Letter of Paul to the
Romans
CHAPTER 1
Romans 1:1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto
the gospel of God,
Romans 1:2
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Romans 1:3
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of
David according  to the flesh;
Romans 1:4
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
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the
faith among all nations, for  his name:
Romans 1:6
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: Romans 1:7
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
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
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
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
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
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith
both of you and me.
Romans 1:13
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
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise,
and to the unwise.
Romans 1:15
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
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
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
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
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath
shewed it unto them.
Romans 1:20
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
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
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Romans 1:23
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
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
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
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
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
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
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity;
whisperers,
Romans 1:30
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 1:31
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:
Romans 1:32
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.
CHAPTER 2
Romans 2:1
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
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against
them which commit such things.
Romans 2:3
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
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
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
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: Romans 2:7
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and
honour and immortality, eternal life:
Romans 2:8
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Romans 2:9
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the
Jew first, and also  of the Gentile; Romans 2:10
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile:
Romans 2:11
11 For there is no respect of persons with God. Romans 2:12
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
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of
the law shall be justified.
Romans 2:14
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
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
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
Romans 2:17
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God,
Romans 2:18
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent,
being instructed out of the law;
Romans 2:19
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of
them which are in darkness,
Romans 2:20
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
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou
that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Romans 2:22
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
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonourest thou God?
Romans 2:24
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it
is written.
Romans 2:25
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
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall
not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Romans 2:27
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
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Romans 2:29
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 2:20
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of

21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou
that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Romans 2:22
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
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law
dishonourest thou God?
Romans 2:24

is written.
Romans 2:25
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
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall
not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Romans 2:27
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
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Romans 2:29
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.
CHAPTER 3
Romans 3:1
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of
circumcision? Romans 3:2
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Romans 3:3
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of
God without effect?
Romans 3:4
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
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
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? Romans 3:7
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
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
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
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:11
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12
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
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
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Romans 3:15
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: Romans 3:16
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: Romans 3:17
17 And the way of peace have they not known: Romans 3:18
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:19
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
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
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets; Romans 3:22
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
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25
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
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
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but
by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds
of the law.
Romans 3:29
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of
the Gentiles also:
Romans 3:30
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and
uncircumcision through faith.
Romans 3:31
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
CHAPTER 4
Romans 4:1
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the
flesh, hath found?
Romans 4:2
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not
before God.
Romans 4:3
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted
unto him for righteousness.
Romans 4:4
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Romans 4:5
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the
ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:6
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without works, Romans 4:7
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Romans 4:8
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:9
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
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision? Not in circumcision,  but in uncircumcision. Romans 4:11
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
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
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
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
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans 4:16
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
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
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
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 Sara's
womb:
Romans 4:20
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong
in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:21
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:22
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Romans 4:23
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; Romans 4:24
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
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
