Book 45 Romans45:001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, 45:001:002 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy 45:001:003 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of 45:001:004 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the 45:001:005 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience 45:001:006 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 45:001:007 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: 45:001:008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that 45:001:009 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the 45:001:010 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a 45:001:011 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some 45:001:012 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the 45:001:013 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I 45:001:014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to 45:001:015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to 45:001:016 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the 45:001:017 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to 45:001:018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all 45:001:019 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; 45:001:020 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world 45:001:021 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as 45:001:022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 45:001:023 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image 45:001:024 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the 45:001:025 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and 45:001:026 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even 45:001:027 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the 45:001:028 And even as they did not like to retain God in their 45:001:029 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, 45:001:030 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, 45:001:031 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural 45:001:032 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such 45:002:001 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that 45:002:002 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth 45:002:003 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such 45:002:004 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance 45:002:005 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto 45:002:006 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 45:002:007 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for 45:002:008 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, 45:002:009 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth 45:002:010 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, 45:002:011 For there is no respect of persons with God. 45:002:012 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish 45:002:013 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the 45:002:014 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature 45:002:015 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their 45:002:016 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus 45:002:017 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and 45:002:018 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more 45:002:019 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, 45:002:020 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast 45:002:021 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not 45:002:022 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou 45:002:023 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the 45:002:024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through 45:002:025 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but 45:002:026 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the 45:002:027 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil 45:002:028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that 45:002:029 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is 45:003:001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of 45:003:002 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed 45:003:003 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make 45:003:004 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it 45:003:005 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, 45:003:006 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 45:003:007 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto 45:003:008 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some 45:003:009 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we 45:003:010 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 45:003:011 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh 45:003:012 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become 45:003:013 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they 45:003:014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 45:003:015 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 45:003:016 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 45:003:017 And the way of peace have they not known: 45:003:018 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 45:003:019 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to 45:003:020 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be 45:003:021 But now the righteousness of God without the law is 45:003:022 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus 45:003:023 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 45:003:024 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption 45:003:025 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in 45:003:026 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he 45:003:027 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? 45:003:028 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without 45:003:029 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the 45:003:030 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by 45:003:031 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, 45:004:001 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining 45:004:002 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to 45:004:003 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was 45:004:004 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, 45:004:005 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that 45:004:006 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto 45:004:007 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and 45:004:008 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 45:004:009 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or 45:004:010 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in 45:004:011 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the 45:004:012 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the 45:004:013 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was 45:004:014 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, 45:004:015 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is 45:004:016 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the 45:004:017 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) 45:004:018 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the 45:004:019 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body 45:004:020 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but 45:004:021 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was 45:004:022 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 45:004:023 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed 45:004:024 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on 45:004:025 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for 45:005:001 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God 45:005:002 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein 45:005:003 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing 45:005:004 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 45:005:005 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed 45:005:006 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died 45:005:007 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet 45:005:008 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were 45:005:009 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be 45:005:010 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the 45:005:011 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus 45:005:012 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death 45:005:013 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not 45:005:014 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them 45:005:015 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if 45:005:016 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the 45:005:017 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more 45:005:018 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men 45:005:019 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by 45:005:020 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But 45:005:021 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign 45:006:001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace 45:006:002 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any 45:006:003 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus 45:006:004 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that 45:006:005 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his 45:006:006 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the 45:006:007 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 45:006:008 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also 45:006:009 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; 45:006:010 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he 45:006:011 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, 45:006:012 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye 45:006:013 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of 45:006:014 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under 45:006:015 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but 45:006:016 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to 45:006:017 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye 45:006:018 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of 45:006:019 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of 45:006:020 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from 45:006:021 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now 45:006:022 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, 45:006:023 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal 45:007:001 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the 45:007:002 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her 45:007:003 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to 45:007:004 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by 45:007:005 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were 45:007:006 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein 45:007:007 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had 45:007:008 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all 45:007:009 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment 45:007:010 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be 45:007:011 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and 45:007:012 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, 45:007:013 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. 45:007:014 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold 45:007:015 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I 45:007:016 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law 45:007:017 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in 45:007:018 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good 45:007:019 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would 45:007:020 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but 45:007:021 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present 45:007:022 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 45:007:023 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law 45:007:024 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body 45:007:025 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the 45:008:001 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in 45:008:002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me 45:008:003 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the 45:008:004 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, 45:008:005 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the 45:008:006 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually 45:008:007 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not 45:008:008 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 45:008:009 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that 45:008:010 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but 45:008:011 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead 45:008:012 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live 45:008:013 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye 45:008:014 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons 45:008:015 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; 45:008:016 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are 45:008:017 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs 45:008:018 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not 45:008:019 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the 45:008:020 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, 45:008:021 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the 45:008:022 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in 45:008:023 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the 45:008:024 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: 45:008:025 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience 45:008:026 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know 45:008:027 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of 45:008:028 And we know that all things work together for good to them 45:008:029 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be 45:008:030 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and 45:008:031 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who 45:008:032 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us 45:008:033 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is 45:008:034 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, 45:008:035 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall 45:008:036 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; 45:008:037 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through 45:008:038 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, 45:008:039 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able 45:009:001 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also 45:009:002 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 45:009:003 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my 45:009:004 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the 45:009:005 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh 45:009:006 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they 45:009:007 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all 45:009:008 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are 45:009:009 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and 45:009:010 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, 45:009:011 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any 45:009:012 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 45:009:013 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 45:009:014 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God 45:009:015 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have 45:009:016 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that 45:009:017 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same 45:009:018 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom 45:009:019 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For 45:009:020 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall 45:009:021 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to 45:009:022 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power 45:009:023 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the 45:009:024 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also 45:009:025 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which 45:009:026 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said 45:009:027 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the 45:009:028 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in 45:009:029 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left 45:009:030 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not 45:009:031 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, 45:009:032 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were 45:009:033 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and 45:010:001 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, 45:010:002 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not 45:010:003 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going 45:010:004 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every 45:010:005 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, 45:010:006 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, 45:010:007 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up 45:010:008 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, 45:010:009 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and 45:010:010 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with 45:010:011 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not 45:010:012 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for 45:010:013 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be 45:010:014 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not 45:010:015 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is 45:010:016 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, 45:010:017 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of 45:010:018 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went 45:010:019 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will 45:010:020 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that 45:010:021 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my 45:011:001 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I 45:011:002 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye 45:011:003 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine 45:011:004 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to 45:011:005 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant 45:011:006 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace 45:011:007 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; 45:011:008 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of 45:011:009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, 45:011:010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow 45:011:011 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God 45:011:012 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the 45:011:013 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of 45:011:014 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my 45:011:015 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the 45:011:016 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if 45:011:017 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a 45:011:018 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou 45:011:019 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might 45:011:020 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou 45:011:021 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he 45:011:022 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them 45:011:023 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be 45:011:024 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by 45:011:025 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this 45:011:026 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There 45:011:027 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away 45:011:028 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but 45:011:029 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 45:011:030 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now 45:011:031 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your 45:011:032 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might 45:011:033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of 45:011:034 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his 45:011:035 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed 45:011:036 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to 45:012:001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that 45:012:002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by 45:012:003 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that 45:012:004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have 45:012:005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one 45:012:006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is 45:012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that 45:012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him 45:012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; 45:012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in 45:012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 45:012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant 45:012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 45:012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 45:012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that 45:012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, 45:012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in 45:012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably 45:012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place 45:012:020 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give 45:012:021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 45:013:001 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is 45:013:002 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the 45:013:003 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. 45:013:004 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do 45:013:005 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but 45:013:006 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's 45:013:007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is 45:013:008 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that 45:013:009 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, 45:013:010 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the 45:013:011 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake 45:013:012 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore 45:013:013 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and 45:013:014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision 45:014:001 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful 45:014:002 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is 45:014:003 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let 45:014:004 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own 45:014:005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth 45:014:006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he 45:014:007 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 45:014:008 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we 45:014:009 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that 45:014:010 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at 45:014:011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall 45:014:012 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 45:014:013 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge 45:014:014 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is 45:014:015 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou 45:014:016 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 45:014:017 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but 45:014:018 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to 45:014:019 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, 45:014:020 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are 45:014:021 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any 45:014:022 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he 45:014:023 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth 45:015:001 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the 45:015:002 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to 45:015:003 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, 45:015:004 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for 45:015:005 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be 45:015:006 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the 45:015:007 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us 45:015:008 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision 45:015:009 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it 45:015:010 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 45:015:011 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all 45:015:012 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and 45:015:013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in 45:015:014 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye 45:015:015 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto 45:015:016 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, 45:015:017 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in 45:015:018 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which 45:015:019 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit 45:015:020 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ 45:015:021 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall 45:015:022 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to 45:015:023 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a 45:015:024 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: 45:015:025 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 45:015:026 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a 45:015:027 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For 45:015:028 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them 45:015:029 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the 45:015:030 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, 45:015:031 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in 45:015:032 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may 45:015:033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. 45:016:001 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the 45:016:002 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that 45:016:003 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 45:016:004 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not 45:016:005 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my 45:016:006 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. 45:016:007 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my 45:016:008 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 45:016:009 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 45:016:010 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of 45:016:011 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the 45:016:012 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute 45:016:013 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 45:016:014 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the 45:016:015 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and 45:016:016 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ 45:016:017 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions 45:016:018 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but 45:016:019 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad 45:016:020 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet 45:016:021 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, 45:016:022 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. 45:016:023 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. 45:016:024 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 45:016:025 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my 45:016:026 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the 45:016:027 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. |
