The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
Romans, chapter 1.

00:07.530 --> 00:12.730
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle, separated unto

00:12.730 --> 00:16.970
the gospel of God, which he had promised
to for by his prophets in the holy

00:16.970 --> 00:21.830
scriptures, concerning his Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of

00:21.830 --> 00:25.550
the seed of David according to the flesh,
and declared to be the Son of God,

00:25.790 --> 00:29.930
with power according to the spirit of
holiness, by the resurrection from the

00:29.930 --> 00:35.050
dead, by whom we have received grace and
apostleship for obedience to the faith

00:35.050 --> 00:40.410
among all nations for his name,
among whom are ye also the called of Jesus

00:40.410 --> 00:40.830
Christ.

00:41.450 --> 00:47.470
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God,
called to be saints, grace to you and

00:47.470 --> 00:50.950
peace from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ.

00:51.730 --> 00:56.950
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ
for you all, that your faith is spoken of

00:56.950 --> 00:58.310
throughout the whole world.

00:58.770 --> 01:03.030
For God is my witness, whom I serve with
my spirit in the gospel of his Son,

01:03.390 --> 01:08.590
that without ceasing I make mention of you
always in my prayers, making request,

01:08.970 --> 01:14.030
if by any means now at length I might have
a prosperous journey by the will of God to

01:14.030 --> 01:14.750
come unto you.

01:15.250 --> 01:20.890
For I long to see you, that I may impart
unto you some spiritual gift, to the end

01:20.890 --> 01:25.270
ye may be established, that is,
that I may be comforted together with you

01:25.270 --> 01:28.470
by the mutual faith both of you and me.

01:29.030 --> 01:33.210
Now I would not have you ignorant,
brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to

01:33.210 --> 01:37.050
come unto you, but was let hitherto,
that I might have some fruit among you

01:37.050 --> 01:39.210
also, even as among other Gentiles.

01:39.810 --> 01:45.250
I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the
barbarians, both to the wise and to the

01:45.250 --> 01:45.730
unwise.

01:45.730 --> 01:51.690
So as much as in me is, I am ready to
preach the gospel to you that are at Rome

01:51.690 --> 01:52.150
also.

01:52.790 --> 01:57.950
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God unto

01:57.950 --> 02:03.330
salvation to every one that believeth,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

02:03.910 --> 02:09.310
For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith, as it is

02:09.310 --> 02:12.290
written, The just shall live by faith.

02:12.290 --> 02:18.310
For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and

02:18.310 --> 02:24.490
unrighteousness of men who hold the truth
in unrighteousness, because that which may

02:24.490 --> 02:29.330
be known of God is manifest in them,
for God hath showed it unto them.

02:29.970 --> 02:34.230
For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen,

02:34.590 --> 02:39.770
being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead,

02:40.130 --> 02:45.230
so that they are without excuse,
because that when they knew God,

02:45.550 --> 02:50.710
they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful, but became vain in

02:50.710 --> 02:53.650
their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.

02:54.070 --> 02:59.910
Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools and changed the glory of

02:59.910 --> 03:05.870
the uncorruptible God into an image made
like to corruptible man and to birds and

03:05.870 --> 03:08.390
four-footed beasts and creeping things.

03:09.190 --> 03:14.250
Wherefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness, through the lusts of their

03:14.250 --> 03:19.130
own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies
between themselves, who changed the truth

03:19.130 --> 03:24.190
of God into a lie and worshipped and
served the creature more than the creator,

03:24.810 --> 03:26.330
who is blessed forever.

03:26.890 --> 03:27.230
Amen.

03:28.410 --> 03:33.950
For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections, for even their women did

03:33.950 --> 03:37.490
change the natural use into that which is
against nature.

03:38.090 --> 03:43.190
And likewise also the men, leaving the
natural use of the woman, burned in their

03:43.190 --> 03:48.390
lust one toward another, men with men,
working that which is unseemly,

03:48.630 --> 03:53.250
and receiving in themselves that
recompense of their error which was meat.

03:53.930 --> 03:59.450
And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over

03:59.450 --> 04:05.270
to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient, being filled

04:05.270 --> 04:11.330
with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness,

04:11.890 --> 04:17.870
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity, whisperers, backbiters,

04:18.190 --> 04:24.690
haters of God, despiteful, proud boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to

04:24.690 --> 04:29.610
parents, without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural

04:29.610 --> 04:33.830
affection, unkind, implacable,
unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of

04:33.830 --> 04:39.270
God, that they which commit such things
are worthy of death, not only do the same,

04:39.590 --> 04:41.930
but have pleasure in them that do them.
