Book 45 Romans 001:001 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to
be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News, 001:002 which
God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ,
concerning His Son, 001:003 who, as regards His human descent,
belonged to the posterity of David, 001:004 but as regards the holiness
of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son
of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord, 001:005 through
whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order
to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
001:006 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to
Jesus Christ, are numbered: 001:007 To all God's loved ones who are in
Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 001:008 First of all, I thank
my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for
the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world. 001:009 I
call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by
telling the Good News about His Son--how unceasingly I make
mention of you in His presence, 001:010 always in my prayers
entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some
means be made clear for me to come to you. 001:011 For I am longing
to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you
may be strengthened; 001:012 in other words that while I am among
you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and
mine. 001:013 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a
time intended to come to you--though until now I have been
disappointed-- in order that among you also I might gather some fruit
from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile

nations. 001:014 I am already under obligations alike to
Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured
people: 001:015 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim
the Good News to you also who are in Rome. 001:016 For I am not
ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the
salvation of every one who believes-- the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
001:017 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God
is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as
the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith." 001:018
For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and
against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth.
God is angry: 001:019 because what may be known about Him is plain
to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
001:020 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible
perfections-- namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been
rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men
are without excuse. 001:021 For when they had come to know God,
they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they
became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were
darkened. 001:022 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter
fools, 001:023
