Romans 1:1-17 : King James Version
![Other Versions](buttons/other-references.png)
1 1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an
apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2(Which he had
promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3Concerning
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David
according to the flesh; 4And declared to be the Son of
God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead: 5By whom we have received
grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations,
for his name: 6Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus
Christ: 7To 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. 8First, I thank my God through Jesus
Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the
whole world. 9For 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; 10Making request, if by any
means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of
God to come unto you. 11For I long to see you, that I may
impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be
established; 12That is, that I may be comforted together
with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 13Now 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. 14I am
debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise,
and to the unwise. 15So, as much as in me is, I am ready
to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. 17For therein is the righteousness of
God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall
live by faith.
