Be it knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall heare it.

Preaching the kingdome of God, and teaching those things which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all boldnesse of speache, without let.

Pavl a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,

And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)

To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lorde Iesus Christ.

First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.

For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.

For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.

For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.

Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.

Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.

For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.

Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen.

For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.

For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,

Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,

Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
