Romans 1
32;
32 Although they know God’s Righteous
decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to
do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. (5)
258
25 They exchanged the truth about
God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the
Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. (7)
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even
their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with
women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts
with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
369
16 For
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the Power
of God that brings Salvation to everyone who believes:
first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
(7)
17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a
righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
God’s Wrath Against
Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being
revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who
suppress the truth by their wickedness,
369
7 To
all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and
peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (7)
Paul’s Longing to
Visit Rom
8 First, I thank my God through
Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the
world.
9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of His
Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
369
31 they
have no understanding, no fidelity, no love,
no mercy.
(4)
147
22 Although
they claimed to be wise, they became fools
(4)
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to
look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in
the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of
their bodies with one another.
369
13 I
do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times
to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that
I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. (4)
14 I am obligated both
to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
15 That is why I am so
eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
369
4 and who through the Spirit of Holiness
was appointed the Son of God in Power by His Resurrection from the Dead:
Jesus Christ our Lord. (4)
5 Through Him we received Grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to
the obedience that comes from faith for His name’s sake.
6 And you also are among those
Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
369
28 Furthermore, just as they did
not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over
to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. (1)
29 They have become filled with every kind of
wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife,
deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and
boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
138
19 since
what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to
them. (1)
20 For since the creation of the
world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been
clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are
without excuse.
21 For although they
knew God, they neither Glorified
Him as God nor gave Thanks to Him, but their thinking became
futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
138
10 in
my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may
be opened for me to come to you.
(1)
11 I long to see you
so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—
12 that is, that you and I may be
mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
138
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set
apart for the gospel of God—
(1)
2 the gospel he
promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
3 regarding His Son, who as to His
earthly life was a descendant of David,
