being freely justified by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them: for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: read more.
because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened. Saying that they were wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things. Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen. On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved. And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate; being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection; whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents, covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful, who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.

But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died.


For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.


And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, a Pontic by race, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife; because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: he came to them:


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;


so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.


to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.
