PAUL’S EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS
Ch.1 Rom.
1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God.
1:2 (Which he had promised afore,
by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
1:3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ ,
our Lord,
which was made of the seed of David,
according the flesh;
1:4 and declared to be the Son of God,
with power,
according to the spirit of holiness,
by the resurrection from the dead.
1:5 By whom we have received grace,
and apostleship,
for obedience to the faith among
all nations, for his name.
1:6 Among whom are ye, also, the
called of Jesus Christ.
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
1:8 First, I thank my God
through Jesus Christ
for you all, that your
faith is spoken of throughout the
whole world.
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.
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.
1:11 For I long to see you, that I may
impart unto you some spiritual
gift, to the end ye may be established.
1:12 That is, that I may be comforted
together with you, by the mutual
faith, both of you, and me.
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.
1:14 I am debtor
both to the Greeks, and to the
Barbarians; both to the
wise, and to the unwise.
1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am
ready to preach the gospel to
you that are at Rome also.
1:16 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ;
for it is the power of God
unto salvation,
to everyone that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek.
1:17 For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed,
from faith to faith, as it is written
the just, shall live by faith.
1:18 For the wrath of God is
revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness, and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness;
1:19 because that which may be
known of God, is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.
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.
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.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools,
1:23 and changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God,
into an image made,
like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and four footed beasts,
and creeping things.
1:24 Wherefore, God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts,
to dishonor their own
bodies between themselves.
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.
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.
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.
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;
1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,
1:30 backbiters, haters of God, despiteful,
proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents,
1:31 without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful.
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.
Ch. 2 Rom.
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.
2:2 But we are sure, that the judgment of
God is, according to truth,
against them which commit such things.
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?
2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his
goodness, and forbearance, and
long suffering;
not knowing that the goodness of
God leadeth thee to repentance?
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.
2:6 Who will render to every man,
according to his deeds.
2:7 To them,
who by patient continuance in
well doing,
seek for glory and honor,
and immortality, eternal life.
2:8 But unto them that are contentious,
and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath.
2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every
soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first, and also, of the Gentile;
2:10 But glory, honor, and peace,
to every man that worketh good,
to the Jew first, and also to the
Gentile.
2:11 For there is no respect of
persons with God.
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.
2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are
just before God,
but the doers of the law shall be
justified.
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.
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;)
2:16 in the day when God shall
judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel.
2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and
restest in the law, and makest thy
boast of God,
2:18 and knowest his will, and
approvest the things that are more
excellent, being instructed out of the law,
2:19 and art confident,
that thou thyself art a
guide of the blind.
A light of them which are
in darkness,
2:20 an instructor of the foolish,
a teacher of babes, which hast the
form of knowledge, and of the
truth, in the law.
2:21 Thou therefore, which teachest another,
teachest thou not thyself?
Thou that preachest a man should not
steal, dost thou steal?
2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not
commit adultery, dost thou commit
adultery?
Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou
commit sacrilege?
2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law,
through breaking the law,
dishonourest thou God?
2:24 For the name of God is
blasphemed among the Gentiles
through you, as it is written.
2:25 For circumcision verily
profiteth, if thou keep the law.
But if thou be a breaker of the law,
thy circumcision is made un-circumcision.
2:26 Therefore, if the un-circumcision,
keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his un-circumcision be counted for
circumcision?
2:27 And shall not un-circumcision,
which is by nature, if it fulfill the law,
judge thee, who,
by the letter and circumcision,
dost transgress the law?
2:28 For he is not a Jew which is
one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh.
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.
Ch. 3 Rom.
3:1 What advantage then, hath the Jew?
Or what profit is there of circumcision?
3:2 Much every way.
Chiefly, because that unto them,
were committed the oracles of God.
3:3 For what if some did not believe?
Shall their unbelief make the
faith of God without effect?
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.
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)
3:6 God forbid.
For then, how shall God judge the
world?
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?
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.
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;
3:10 As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one.
3:11 There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God.
3:12 They are all gone out of the way.
They are together become unprofitable;
There is none that doeth good, no,
not one.
3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have
used deceit;
the poison of asps is under their lips.
3:14 Whose mouth is full of
cursing and bitterness.
3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
3:17 And the way of peace have
they not known.
3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
3:19 Now, we know that what things so
ever 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.
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.
3:21 But now, the righteousness of
God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the
law and the prophets.
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.
3:23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the
glory of God;
3:24 being justified freely, by his grace,
through the redemption, that is
in Christ Jesus.
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;
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.
3:27 Where is boasting then?
It is excluded. By what law?
Of works? Nay;
but by the law of faith.
3:28 Therefore we conclude,
that a man is justified, by faith,
without the deeds of the law.
3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only?
Is he not also of the Gentiles?
Yes, of the Gentiles also.
3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall
justify.
The circumcision, by faith,
and un-circumcision, through faith.
3:31 Do we, then, make void the
law through faith?
God forbid.
Yea, we establish the law.
Ch. 4 Rom.
4:1 What shall we say then,
that Abraham, our father, as
pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works,
he hath whereof to glory;
but not before God.
4:3 For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness.
4:4 Now to him that worketh, is the
reward not reckoned of grace, but of
debt.
4:5 But to him that worketh not,
but believeth on him that justifieth
the ungodly,
his faith is counted for righteousness.
4:6 Even as David also describeth the
blessedness of the man, unto whom
God imputeth righteousness
without works,
4:7 saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are
forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord will not impute sin.
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.
4:10 How was it then reckoned?
When he was in circumcision,
or in uncircumcision?
Not in circumcision,
but in uncircumcision.
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.
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.
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.
4:14 For if they which are of the
law be heirs, faith is made void, and
the promise made of none effect.
4:15 Because the law worketh wrath.
For where no law is,
there is no transgression.
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,
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.
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.
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.
4:20 He staggered not at the
promise of God through unbelief;
but was strong in faith,
giving glory to God;
4:21 And being fully persuaded, that
what he had promised, he was able
also, to perform.
4:22 And therefore,
it was imputed to him for
righteousness.
4:23 Now it was not written for his
sake alone, that it was imputed to
him;
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;
4:25 Who was delivered for our
offences, and was raised again for
our justification.
Ch. 5 Rom.
5:1 Therefore, being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
5:3 And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also.
Knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
5:4 and patience, experience;
and experience, hope.
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.
5:6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time, Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die.
Yet peradventure, for a good man,
some would even dare to die.
5:8 But God commendeth his
love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
5:9 Much more then,
being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath
through him.
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.
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.
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,
5:13 (For until the law sin was in
the world.
But sin is not imputed,
when there is no law.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
5:19 For as by one man's disobedience,
many were made sinners,
so by the obedience of one,
shall many be made righteous.
5:20 Moreover, the law entered,
that the offence, might abound.
But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound;
5:21 that as sin hath reigned unto death,
even so, might grace reign through
righteousness, unto eternal life,
by Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Ch. 6 Rom.
6:1 What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
6:2 God forbid. How shall we,
that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein?
6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us
as were baptized into Jesus Christ,
were baptized into his death?
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.
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.
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.
6:7 For he that is dead,
is freed from sin.
6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also
live with him.
6:9 Knowing, that Christ,
being raised from the dead,
dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him.
6:10 For in that he died,
he died unto sin once.
But in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.
6:11 Likewise reckon ye also
yourselves, to be dead, indeed,
unto sin, but alive unto God,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
6:12 Let not sin therefore, reign in
your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof.
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.
6:14 For sin shall not have
dominion over you.
For ye are not under the
law, but under grace.
6:15 What then?
Shall we sin, because we are not
under the law, but under grace?
God forbid.
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?
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.
6:18 Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of
righteousness.
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.
6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin,
ye were free from righteousness.
6:21 What fruit had ye then,
in those things whereof ye are now
ashamed?
For the end of those things is death.
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.
6:23 For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God, is eternal life,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Ch. 7 Rom.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7:8 But sin,
taking occasion by the commandment,
wrought in me all manner of
concupiscence*.
For without the law, sin was dead.
7:9 For I was alive without the law once.
But when the commandment
came, sin revived, and I died.
7:10 And the commandment,
which was ordained to life,
I found, to be unto death.
7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, deceived me,
and by it, slew me.
7:12 Wherefore, the law is holy, and the
commandment holy, and just, and
good.
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.
7:14 For we know that the law is
spiritual.
But I am carnal, sold under sin.
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.
7:16 If then, I do that which I
would not,
I consent unto the law, that it
is good.
7:17 Now then, it is no more I that
do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
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.
7:19 For the good that I would,
I do not.
But the evil which I would not,
that, I do.
7:20 Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but
sin that dwelleth in me.
7:21 I find then, a law, that,
when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
7:22 For I delight in the law of God,
after the inward man.
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.
7:24 O wretched man that I am!
Who shall deliver me from the body of
this death?
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.
Ch.7:8 concupiscence*= fobidden desire or lust
Ch. 8 Rom.
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.
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus,
hath made me free from the law of
sin, and death.
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.
8:4 that the righteousness of the
law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
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.
8:6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded, is life,
and peace.
8:7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity* against God;
for it is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed,
can be;
8:8 so then,
they that are in the flesh,
cannot please God.
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.
8:10 And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life,
because of righteousness.
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.
8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors,
not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
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.
8:14 For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
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.
8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit,
that we are the children of God.
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.
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.
8:19 For the earnest expectation of the
creature,
waiteth for the manifestation,
of the sons of God.
8:20 For the creature was
made subject to vanity,
not willingly,
but by reason of him who hath
subjected the same, in hope,
8:21 because the creature itself,
also shall be delivered from the
bondage of corruption,
into the glorious liberty of the
children of God.
8:22 For we know that the
whole creation groaneth,
and travaileth in pain together,
until now.
8:23 And not only they,
but ourselves also, which have the
first fruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves, groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
to wit, the redemption of our body.
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?
8:25 But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we, with patience, wait for it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can
be against us?
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?
8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the
charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth.
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.
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?
8:36 As it is written,
For thy sake, we are killed all the
day long; we are accounted as
sheep, for the slaughter.
8:37 Nay, in all these things, we are
more than conquerors, through him
that loved us.
8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
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.
Ch. 8:7 enmity*= at odds with, oppose, feud
Ch. 9 Rom.
9:1 I say the truth in Christ,
I lie not, my conscience also bearing
me witness in the Holy Ghost,
9:2 that I have great heaviness and
continual sorrow in my heart.
9:3 For I could wish that myself were
accursed from Christ for my
brethren, my kinsmen,
according to the flesh;
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;
9:5 Whose are the fathers,
and of whom,
as concerning the flesh,
Christ came, who is over all,
God blessed for ever. Amen.
9:6 Not as though the word of God
hath taken none effect;
for they are not all Israel,
which are of Israel.
9:7 Neither, because they are the
seed of Abraham, are they all
children.
But, in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
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.
9:9 For this is the word of promise,
at this time will I come, and
Sarah shall have a son.
9:10 And not only this; but when
Rebecca also had conceived by one,
even by our father Isaac;
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;)
9:12 it was said unto her,
The elder shall serve the younger.
9:13 As it is written,
Jacob, have I loved,
but Esau, have I hated.
9:14 What shall we say then?
Is there unrighteousness
with God?
God forbid.
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.
9:16 So then,
it is not of him that willeth,
nor of him that runneth,
but of God,
that sheweth mercy.
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.
9:18 Therefore hath he mercy,
on whom he will have mercy,
and whom he will, he hardeneth.
9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me,
why doth he yet find fault?
For who hath resisted his will?
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?
9:21 Hath not the potter power over the
clay, of the same lump to make
one vessel unto honor,
and another unto dishonor?
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
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.
9:24 Even us, whom he hath called,
not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles?
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.
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.
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.
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.
9:29 And as *Esaias said before,
except the Lord of *Sabaoth had
left us a seed, we had been as
Sodom, and been made like,
unto Gomorrha.
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.
9:31 But Israel, which followed after the
law of righteousness, hath not
attained to the law of righteousness.
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 stumbling stone;
9:33 as it is written,
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone,
and rock of offence.
And whosoever believeth on him,
shall not be ashamed.
*Ch.9:25*: Hosea;2:23 *Ch.9:27
Isaiah;10:22-23 9 :29 Isaiah; 1:9
9:29 * Sabaoth = Hosts, as in huge army
Ch. 10 Rom.
10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire,
and prayer to God for Israel is,
that they might be saved.
10:2 For I bear them record,
that they have a zeal of God,
but not, according to knowledge.
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.
10:4 For Christ is the end of the law,
for righteousness, to every one
that believeth.
10:5 For Moses describeth the
righteousness which is of the law,
that the man which doeth those things,
shall live by them.
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.)
10:7 or,
who shall descend into the deep?
(that is to bring up Christ,
again from the dead.)
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.
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.
10:10 For with the heart, man believeth
unto righteousness;
and with the mouth,
confession is made unto salvation.
10:11 For the scripture saith,
whosoever believeth on him,
shall not be ashamed.
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.
10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord, shall be saved.
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?
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!
10:16 But they have not all obeyed the
gospel.
For *Esaias saith,
Lord, who hath believed our report?
10:17 So then, faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing, by the word of God.
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.
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.
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.
10:21 But to Israel he saith,
all day long I have stretched forth my
hands, unto a disobedient,
and gainsaying people.
10:16 *Esaias=Isaiah
Ch. 11 Rom.
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.
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,
11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets,
and digged down thine altars;
and I am left alone,
and they seek my life.
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.
11:5 Even so then, at this
present time also there is a
remnant, according to the
election of grace.
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 it is no more grace.
Otherwise, work is no more work.
11:7 What then?
Israel hath not obtained that
which he seeketh for;
but the election hath obtained it,
and the rest were blinded.
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.
11:9 And David saith,
let their table be made a snare,
and a trap, and a stumbling block,
and a recompence unto them.
11:10 Let their eyes be darkened,
that they may not see, and bow
down their back, alway.
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.
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 fullness?
11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles,
inasmuch as I am the
apostle of the Gentiles,
I magnify mine office;
11:14 if by any means, I may provoke to
emulation, them, which are my flesh,
and might save some of them.
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?
11:16 For if the first fruit be holy,
the lump is also holy.
And if the root be holy,
so are the branches.
11:17 And if some of the branches be
broken off,
and thou, being a wild olive tree,
were grafted in among them, and
with them, partakest of the root,
and fatness of the olive tree;
11:18 boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not
the root, but the root, thee.
11:19 Thou wilt say then,
the branches were broken off
that I might be grafted in.
11:20 Well;
because of unbelief they were
broken off,
and thou standest by faith.
Be not high minded, but fear.
11:21 For if God spared not the
natural branches, take heed,
lest he also spare not thee.
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.
11:23 And they also, if they
abide not still in unbelief,
shall be grafted in.
For God is able to graft them in again.
11:24 For if thou were cut out of the
olive tree, which is wild by nature,
and were grafted contrary to nature,
into a good olive tree;
how much more shall these,
which be the natural branches,
be grafted into their own
olive tree?
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 fullness of the
Gentiles be come in.
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.
11:27 For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
11:28 As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes.
But as touching the election,
they are beloved for the father's sakes.
11:29 For the gifts, and calling of God,
are without repentance.
11:30 For as ye in times past have not
believed God, yet have now
obtained mercy through their unbelief;
11:31 even so, have these, also, now,
not believed, that through your mercy,
they also may obtain mercy.
11:32 For God hath *concluded them
all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.
11:33 O the depth of the riches,
both of the wisdom, and
knowledge, of God!
How un-searchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!
11:34 For who hath known the
mind of the Lord?
Or who hath been his counselor?
11:35 Or who hath first given to him,
and it shall be recompensed unto
him again?
11:36 For of him, and through him, and
to him, are all things.
to whom be glory, for ever. Amen.
11:2 * Elias=Elijah
11:32 *concluded, inclosed; included
Ch.12 Rom.
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.
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.
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.
12:4 For as we have many
members in one body,
and all members have not
the same office;
12:5 so we, being many,
are one body in Christ.
And every one members,
one of another.
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.
12:7 Or ministry,
let us wait on our ministering.
Or he that teacheth, on teaching.
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.
12:9 Let love be without *dissimulation*.
Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.
12:10 Be kindly affectioned,
one to another with brotherly
love; in honor,
preferring one another;
12:11 Not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
12:12 Rejoicing in hope;
patient in tribulation;
continuing instant, in prayer.
12:13 Distributing to the necessity of
saints; given to hospitality.
12:14 Bless them which persecute you.
Bless, and curse not.
12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice,
and weep with them that weep.
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.
12:17 Recompense to no man,
evil for evil.
Provide things honest in the
sight of all men.
12:18 If it be possible,
as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men.
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.
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.
12:21 Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome evil, with good.
Ch.12:9 *dissimulation* = unfeigned, genuine,
not fake, not phony
Ch. 13 Rom.
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.
13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God.
And they that resist,
shall receive to themselves damnation.
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.
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.
13:5 Wherefore, ye must needs be subject,
not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake.
13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also.
For they are God's ministers,
attending continually upon this very thing.
13:7 Render therefore, to all their dues.
Tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom;
fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to
love one another.
For he that loveth another,
hath fulfilled the law.
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 neighbor as thyself.
13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor.
Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
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.
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 armor of light.
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.
13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh,
to fulfill the lusts thereof.
Ch. 14 Rom.
14:1 Him that is weak in the faith,
receive ye, but not to doubtful
disputations.
14:2 For one believeth that he may
eat all things.
Another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
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.
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.
14:5 One man esteemeth
one day above another.
Another esteemeth every day alike.
Let every man be fully persuaded in
his own mind.
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.
14:7 For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.
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.
14:9 For to this end, Christ both died,
and rose, and revived,
that he might be Lord,
both of the dead, and living.
14:10 But why dost thou judge thy
brother?
Or why dost thou set at naught
thy brother?
For we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ.
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.
14:12 So then, every one of us shall
give account of himself to God.
14:13 Let us not therefore,
judge one another any more.
But judge this rather,
that no man put a stumbling block,
or an occasion to fall, in his brother's way.
14:14 I know, and am persuaded by
the Lord Jesus,
that there is nothing
unclean of itself.
But to him that esteemeth
anything to be unclean,
to him, it is unclean.
14:15 But if thy brother be
grieved with thy meat,
now walkest thou not
lovingly* (charitably)*.
Destroy not him with thy meat,
for whom Christ died.
14:16 Let not then, your good
be evil spoken of.
14:17 For the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink;
but righteousness and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost.
14:18 For he, that in these things,
serveth Christ,
is acceptable to God, and
approved of men.
14:19 Let us therefore, follow after the
things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one may
edify another.
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.
14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine,
nor anything whereby thy
brother stumbleth,
or is offended,
or is made weak.
14:22 Hast thou faith?
Have it to thyself before God.
Happy is he that condemneth not
himself in that thing which he alloweth.
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.
14:15 *lovingly*,not charitably*from the Greek
word agape, Godly love.
Ch.15 Rom.
15:1 We then, that are strong,
ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak, and not to please ourselves.
15:2 Let every one of us, please his
neighbor, for his good, to edification.
15:3 For even Christ pleased not
himself; but,
as it is written,
the reproaches of them that
reproached thee, fell on me.
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.
15:5 Now the God of patience, and
consolation, grant you to be
like minded, one toward another,
according to Christ Jesus;
15:6 that ye may with one mind,
and one mouth, glorify God,
even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
15:7 Wherefore, receive ye one another,
as Christ also received us,
to the glory of God.
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;
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.
15:10 And again he saith,
rejoice, ye Gentiles,
with his people.
15:11 And again,
praise the Lord all ye Gentiles;
and laud him, all ye people.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
15:17 I have therefore,
whereof I may glory
through Jesus Christ,
in those things which
pertain to God.
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,
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.
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;
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.
15:22 For which cause also,
I have been much hindered from
coming to you.
15:23 But now,
having no more place in
these parts,
and having a great desire,
these many years,
to come unto you;
15:24 when so ever 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.
15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem,
to minister unto the saints.
15:26 For it hath pleased them of
Macedonia and Achaia, to make a
certain contribution, for the
poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
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.
15:28 When therefore,
I have performed this, and have
sealed to them this fruit,
I will come by you, into Spain.
15:29 And I am sure that,
when I come unto you,
I shall come in the fullness,
of the blessing, of the
gospel of Christ.
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;
15:31 that I may be delivered from
them that do not believe,
in Judea;
and that my service,
which I have for Jerusalem,
may be accepted of the saints;
15:32 that I may come unto you with joy,
by the will of God,
and may with you, be refreshed.
15:33 Now the God of peace,
be with you all. Amen.
15:12 *Esaias = Isaiah
Ch.16 Rom.
16:1 I commend unto you Phebe,
our sister, which is a
servant of the church which is
at Cenchrea;
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.
16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila,
my helpers in Christ Jesus;
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.
16:5 Likewise, greet the church that is in
their house.
Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus,
who is the first fruits of Achaia,
unto Christ.
16:6 Greet Mary,
who bestowed much labor on us.
16:7 Salute Andronicus, and Junia,
my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners,
who are of note among the apostles.
Who also were in Christ before me.
16:8 Greet Amplias,
my beloved in the Lord.
16:9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ,
and Stachys my beloved.
16:10 Salute Apelles, approved in Christ.
Salute them which are of
Aristobulus' household.
16:11 Salute Herodion, my kinsman.
Greet them that be of the
household of Narcissus,
which are in the Lord.
16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa,
who labor in the Lord.
Salute the beloved Persis,
which labored much in the Lord.
16:13 Salute Rufus, chosen in the Lord,
and his mother, and mine.
16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas,
Patrobas, Hermes, and the
brethren which are with them.
16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia,
Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas,
and all the saints which are with them.
16:16 Salute one another,
with an holy kiss.
The churches of Christ salute you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16:21 Timotheus, my workfellow,
and Lucius and Jason,
and Sosipater, my kinsmen,
salute you.
16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle,
salute you, in the Lord.
16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the
whole church, saluteth you.
Erastus the chamberlain of the city
saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
be with you all. Amen.
16:25 Now to him that is of power to
establish 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,
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;
16:27 to God only wise, be glory,
through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
