Some indeed do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will: the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add affliction to my bonds: but the others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel. What then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.


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


The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, and was not ashamed of my chain: but, when he was at Rome, he sought me out diligently, and found me.


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding back the truth in unrighteousness. Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath manifested it to them. For from the creation of the world his invisible perfections, discoverable in the works that are made, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are inexcusable: read more.
because though they knew [there was] a God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave him thanks, but became triflers in their disputations, and their stupid heart was darkened. Affecting to be sophists, they turned idiots, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles. Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves: who perverted the truth of God by falsehood, and worshipped and paid divine honours to the thing created instead of the Creator, who is blessed for evermore. Amen. For this cause God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For even their women did change the natural use into that which was contrary to nature; and likewise the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lewdness one towards another; men with men committing indecency, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their delusion, which was meet. And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming; replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers, backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, disobedient to parents, unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, unmerciful: who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.


who will recompense to every man according to his works;



But if by meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no more according to love. Do not by thy meat destroy him for whom Christ died.


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


and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome,) he turned in to them.


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding back the truth in unrighteousness.


So, as far as is in my power, I am desirous to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.


To all that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.


For scarcely for a righteous person will any one die: though for a good man perhaps some one might even dare to die.









Salute Urban, our fellow-labourer in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.


Salute Urban, our fellow-labourer in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
