Wherefore, God gave them up in the desires of their hearts unto the uncleanness of dishonoring their bodies among themselves;

For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions; for both their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature;

And, as they did not approve the holding of God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming;

but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation,

Who was delivered up for our trespasses, and raised for our justification.

Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey its desires;

Know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves as slaves for obedience, his slaves ye are whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness?

But thanks be to God that, though ye were slaves of sin, ye did, however, obey from the heart that form of teaching unto which ye were delivered;

And, if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will make alive your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in you.

For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Abba, Father."

He Who spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose did I raise you up, that I might show forth My power in you, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth."

but the righteousness which is of faith speaks thus: "Say not in your heart, who shall ascend up into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down);

or, who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."

But they did not all obey the glad tidings. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who believed our report?"

For God shut up all unto disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

Be ready to rejoice with those who rejoice; to weep with those who weep;

For this, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not kill," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet;" and, if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse, and He Who riseth up to rule over the gentiles, on Him will the gentiles hope."

that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God, that the offering up of the gentiles may become acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
