==== <RO1>

RO-1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an

apostle, separated

unto the gospel of God,

RO-1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy

scriptures,)

RO-1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made

of the seed of

David according to the flesh;

RO-1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power,

according to the spirit

of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

RO-1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for

obedience to the

faith among all nations, for his name:

RO-1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

RO-1:7 To 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.

RO-1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all,

that your faith

is spoken of throughout the whole world.

RO-1:9 For 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;

RO-1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might

have a

prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

RO-1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some

spiritual gift,

to the end ye may be established;

RO-1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by

the mutual faith

both of you and me.

RO-1:13 Now 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.

RO-1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians;

both to the

wise, and to the unwise.

RO-1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the

gospel to you that

are at Rome also.

RO-1:16 For 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.

RO-1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from

faith to faith:

as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

RO-1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against

all ungodliness

and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in

unrighteousness;

RO-1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in

them; for God

hath showed [it] unto them.

RO-1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of

the world are

clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,

[even] his eternal

power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

RO-1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him]

not as God,

neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,

and their foolish

heart was darkened.

RO-1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

RO-1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an

image made like

to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and

creeping things.

RO-1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through

the lusts of

their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between

themselves:

RO-1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped

and served the

creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

RO-1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:

for even their

women did change the natural use into that which is against

nature:

RO-1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of

the woman,

burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working

that which is

unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their

error which was

meet.

RO-1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their]

knowledge, God

gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are

not

convenient;

RO-1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,

wickedness,

covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,

deceit, malignity;

whisperers,

RO-1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,

inventors of

evil things, disobedient to parents,

RO-1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without

natural affection,

implacable, unmerciful:

RO-1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit

such things

are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in

them that do

them.

==== <RO2>

RO-2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou

art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for

thou that

judgest doest the same things.

RO-2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to

truth against

them which commit such things.

RO-2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which

do such things,

and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

RO-2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and

forbearance and

longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee

to repentance?

RO-2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest

up unto thyself

wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous

judgment of God;

RO-2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

RO-2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek

for glory and

honour and immortality, eternal life:

RO-2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the

truth, but obey

unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

RO-2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that

doeth evil, of the

Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

RO-2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh

good, to the

Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

RO-2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

RO-2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also

perish without law:

and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

RO-2:13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God,

but the doers

of the law shall be justified.

RO-2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by

nature the things

contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto

themselves:

RO-2:15 Which show the work of the law written in their hearts,

their

conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean

while accusing

or else excusing one another;)

RO-2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by

Jesus Christ

according to my gospel.

RO-2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law,

and makest thy

boast of God,

RO-2:18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that

are more

excellent, being instructed out of the law;

RO-2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the

blind, a light

of them which are in darkness,

RO-2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which

hast the form

of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

RO-2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou

not thyself? thou

that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

RO-2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost

thou commit

adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

RO-2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking

the law

dishonourest thou God?

RO-2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles

through you, as

it is written.

RO-2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law:

but if thou

be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

RO-2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness

of the law,

shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

RO-2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it

fulfil the law,

judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress

the law?

RO-2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither

[is that]

circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

RO-2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and

circumcision [is that]

of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose

praise [is] not of

men, but of God.

==== <RO3>

RO-3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is

there] of

circumcision?

RO-3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were

committed the

oracles of God.

RO-3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief

make the faith

of God without effect?

RO-3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;

as it is

written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and

mightest overcome

when thou art judged.

RO-3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of

God, what shall

we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a

man)

RO-3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

RO-3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my

lie unto his

glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

RO-3:8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and

as some affirm

that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose

damnation is just.

RO-3:9 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise:

for we have

before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under

sin;

RO-3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

RO-3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that

seeketh after

God.

RO-3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together

become

unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

RO-3:13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues

they have used

deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:

RO-3:14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:

RO-3:15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:

RO-3:16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:

RO-3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:

RO-3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

RO-3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it

saith to them

who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all

the world may

become guilty before God.

RO-3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh

be justified in

his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

RO-3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is

manifested, being

witnessed by the law and the prophets;

RO-3:22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of

Jesus Christ unto

all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

RO-3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

RO-3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the

redemption that is in

Christ Jesus:

RO-3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through

faith in his

blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins

that are past,

through the forbearance of God;

RO-3:26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness:

that he might be

just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

RO-3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law?

of works? Nay:

but by the law of faith.

RO-3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith

without the

deeds of the law.

RO-3:29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of

the Gentiles?

Yes, of the Gentiles also:

RO-3:30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the

circumcision by faith,

and uncircumcision through faith.

RO-3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid:

yea, we

establish the law.

==== <RO4>

RO-4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as

pertaining to the

flesh, hath found?

RO-4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath

[whereof] to glory; but

not before God.

RO-4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and

it was counted

unto him for righteousness.

RO-4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of

grace, but of

debt.

RO-4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that

justifieth the

ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

RO-4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,

unto whom God

imputeth righteousness without works,

RO-4:7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are

forgiven, and whose

sins are covered.

RO-4:8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute

sin.

RO-4:9 [Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision

[only], or upon

the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to

Abraham for

righteousness.

RO-4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision,

or in

uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

RO-4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the

righteousness

of the faith which [he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he

might be the

father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised;

that

righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

RO-4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of

the circumcision

only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father

Abraham, which

[he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.

RO-4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the

world, [was] not to

Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the

righteousness of

faith.

RO-4:14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is

made void, and

the promise made of none effect:

RO-4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,

[there is] no

transgression.

RO-4:16 Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace;

to the end

the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only

which is of the

law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is

the father of us

all,

RO-4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many

nations,) before

him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and

calleth those

things which be not as though they were.

RO-4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become

the father of

many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy

seed be.

RO-4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own

body now dead,

when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness

of Sarah's

womb:

RO-4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief;

but was

strong in faith, giving glory to God;

RO-4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised,

he was able also

to perform.

RO-4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

RO-4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was

imputed to him;

RO-4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we

believe on him

that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

RO-4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised

again for our

justification.

==== <RO5>

RO-5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with

God through our

Lord Jesus Christ:

RO-5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace

wherein we stand,

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

RO-5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also:

knowing that

tribulation worketh patience;

RO-5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

RO-5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is

shed abroad in

our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

RO-5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time

Christ died for the

ungodly.

RO-5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet

peradventure for a

good man some would even dare to die.

RO-5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we

were yet

sinners, Christ died for us.

RO-5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we

shall be saved

from wrath through him.

RO-5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God

by the death

of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by

his life.

RO-5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our

Lord Jesus

Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

RO-5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,

and death by sin;

and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

RO-5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not

imputed when

there is no law.

RO-5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even

over them that had

not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is

the figure of

him that was to come.

RO-5:15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For

if through the

offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the

gift by grace,

[which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

RO-5:16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the

gift: for the

judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of

many offences

unto justification.

RO-5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much

more they which

receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness

shall reign in life

by one, Jesus Christ.)

RO-5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon

all men to

condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift

came] upon all

men unto justification of life.

RO-5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,

so by the

obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

RO-5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.

But where sin

abounded, grace did much more abound:

RO-5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might

grace reign through

righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

==== <RO6>

RO-6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that

grace may

abound?

RO-6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any

longer

therein?

RO-6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into

Jesus Christ were

baptized into his death?

RO-6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:

that like as

Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,

even so we also

should walk in newness of life.

RO-6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of

his death, we

shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:

RO-6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him],

that the body

of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve

sin.

RO-6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

RO-6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall

also live with

him:

RO-6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no

more; death

hath no more dominion over him.

RO-6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that

he liveth, he

liveth unto God.

RO-6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed

unto sin, but

alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

RO-6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that

ye should obey

it in the lusts thereof.

RO-6:13 Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of

unrighteousness unto

sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from

the dead, and

your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

RO-6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are

not under the

law, but under grace.

RO-6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the

law, but under

grace? God forbid.

RO-6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants

to obey, his

servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or

of obedience

unto righteousness?

RO-6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,

but ye have

obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered

you.

RO-6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of

righteousness.

RO-6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the

infirmity of your

flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to

uncleanness and to

iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants

righteousness unto holiness.

RO-6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from

righteousness.

RO-6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are

now ashamed? for

the end of those things [is] death.

RO-6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants

to God, ye have

your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

RO-6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God

[is] eternal life

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

==== <RO7>

RO-7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know

the law,) how

that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

RO-7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law

to [her]

husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is

loosed from

the law of [her] husband.

RO-7:3 So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married

to another man,

she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead,

she is free from

that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to

another man.

RO-7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the

law by the body

of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him

who is raised

from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

RO-7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins,

which were by the

law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

RO-7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead

wherein we were

held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in]

the oldness of

the letter.

RO-7:7 What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? God forbid.

Nay, I had not

known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the

law had said,

Thou shalt not covet.

RO-7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in

me all manner

of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.

RO-7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the

commandment came,

sin revived, and I died.

RO-7:10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I

found [to be]

unto death.

RO-7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived

me, and by it

slew [me].

RO-7:12 Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy,

and just, and

good.

RO-7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God

forbid. But sin,

that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is

good; that sin

by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

RO-7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal,

sold under

sin.

RO-7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that

do I not; but

what I hate, that do I.

RO-7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the

law that [it

is] good.

RO-7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that

dwelleth in me.

RO-7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth

no good thing:

for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which

is good I find

not.

RO-7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which

I would not,

that I do.

RO-7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do

it, but sin that

dwelleth in me.

RO-7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is

present with

me.

RO-7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

RO-7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against

the law of my

mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is

in my members.

RO-7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the

body of this

death?

RO-7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with

the mind I

myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

==== <RO8>

RO-8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which

are in Christ

Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

RO-8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath

made me free

from the law of sin and death.

RO-8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak

through the flesh,

God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for

sin, condemned

sin in the flesh:

RO-8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in

us, who walk

not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

RO-8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of

the flesh; but

they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

RO-8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be

spiritually minded [is]

life and peace.

RO-8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it

is not subject

to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

RO-8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

RO-8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be

that the

Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit

of Christ, he is

none of his.

RO-8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because

of sin; but the

Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

RO-8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the

dead dwell in

you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken

your mortal

bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

RO-8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh,

to live after

the flesh.

RO-8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye

through the

Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

RO-8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are

the sons of God.

RO-8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to

fear; but ye

have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,

Father.

RO-8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that

we are the

children of God:

RO-8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-

heirs with

Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also

glorified

together.

RO-8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time

[are] not worthy

[to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

RO-8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for

the

manifestation of the sons of God.

RO-8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not

willingly, but by

reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

RO-8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered

from the bondage

of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

RO-8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and

travaileth in pain

together until now.

RO-8:23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the

firstfruits of

the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting

for the adoption,

[to wit], the redemption of our body.

RO-8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not

hope: for what

a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

RO-8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with

patience wait

for [it].

RO-8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for

we know not what

we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh

intercession for

us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

RO-8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the

mind of the

Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according

to [the will

of] God.

RO-8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to

them that love

God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

RO-8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to

be] conformed

to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among

many brethren.

RO-8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called:

and whom he

called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he

also glorified.

RO-8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for

us, who [can

be] against us?

RO-8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up

for us all, how

shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

RO-8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?

[It is] God that

justifieth.

RO-8:34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died,

yea rather,

that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who

also maketh

intercession for us.

RO-8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall]

tribulation, or

distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or

sword?

RO-8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the

day long; we are

accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

RO-8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors

through him that

loved us.

RO-8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor

angels, nor

principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to

come,

RO-8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be

able to

separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our

Lord.

==== <RO9>

RO-9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also

bearing me

witness in the Holy Ghost,

RO-9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my

heart.

RO-9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ

for my brethren,

my kinsmen according to the flesh:

RO-9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption,

and the glory,

and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service

[of God], and the

promises;

RO-9:5 Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as concerning the

flesh Christ

[came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

RO-9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.

For they [are]

not all Israel, which are of Israel:

RO-9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are

they] all children:

but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

RO-9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these

[are] not the

children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for

the seed.

RO-9:9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I

come, and Sarah

shall have a son.

RO-9:10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had

conceived by one,

[even] by our father Isaac;

RO-9:11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having

done any good

or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might

stand, not of

works, but of him that calleth;)

RO-9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

RO-9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I

hated.

RO-9:14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with

God? God

forbid.

RO-9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will

have mercy,

and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

RO-9:16 So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him

that runneth, but

of God that showeth mercy.

RO-9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this

same purpose have

I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that

my name might be

declared throughout all the earth.

RO-9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy],

and whom he will

he hardeneth.

RO-9:19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault?

For who hath

resisted his will?

RO-9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?

Shall the

thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me

thus?

RO-9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same

lump to make one

vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

RO-9:22 [What] if God, willing to show [his] wrath, and to make

his power

known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath

fitted to

destruction:

RO-9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on

the vessels of

mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

RO-9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but

also of the

Gentiles?

RO-9:25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people,

which were not

my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

RO-9:26 And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it

was said unto

them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the

children of the

living God.

RO-9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number

of the

children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be

saved:

RO-9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in

righteousness:

because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

RO-9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth

had left us a

seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

RO-9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which

followed not after

righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the

righteousness which is

of faith.

RO-9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of

righteousness, hath not

attained to the law of righteousness.

RO-9:32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but

as it were by

the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

RO-9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a

stumblingstone and rock of

offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

==== <RO10>

RO-10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for

Israel is, that they

might be saved.

RO-10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,

but not according

to knowledge.

RO-10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and

going about to

establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves

unto the

righteousness of God.

RO-10:4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to

every one that

believeth.

RO-10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the

law, That the

man which doeth those things shall live by them.

RO-10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on

this wise, Say not

in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring

Christ down

[from above]:)

RO-10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring

up Christ

again from the dead.)

RO-10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy

mouth, and in

thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

RO-10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord

Jesus, and shalt

believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,

thou shalt be

saved.

RO-10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;

and with the

mouth confession is made unto salvation.

RO-10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him

shall not be

ashamed.

RO-10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the

Greek: for the

same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

RO-10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord

shall be saved.

RO-10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not

believed? and

how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and

how shall they

hear without a preacher?

RO-10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it

is written, How

beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,

and bring glad

tidings of good things!

RO-10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias

saith, Lord, who

hath believed our report?

RO-10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the

word of God.

RO-10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their

sound went into all

the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

RO-10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I

will provoke you

to jealousy by [them that are] no people, [and] by a foolish

nation I will

anger you.

RO-10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of

them that sought

me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

RO-10:21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched

forth my hands

unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

==== <RO11>

RO-11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.

For I also am

an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.

RO-11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

Wot ye not what

the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God

against Israel,

saying,

RO-11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down

thine altars; and

I am left alone, and they seek my life.

RO-11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have

reserved to myself

seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image

of] Baal.

RO-11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a

remnant according to

the election of grace.

RO-11:6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works:

otherwise grace is no

more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace:

otherwise work

is no more work.

RO-11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he

seeketh for; but the

election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

RO-11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the

spirit of

slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they

should not hear;)

unto this day.

RO-11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a

trap, and a

stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:

RO-11:10 Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and

bow down their

back alway.

RO-11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?

God forbid: but

[rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the

Gentiles, for to

provoke them to jealousy.

RO-11:12 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world,

and the

diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more

their fulness?

RO-11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the

apostle of the

Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

RO-11:14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which

are] my flesh,

and might save some of them.

RO-11:15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling

of the world,

what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?

RO-11:16 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also

[holy]: and if

the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.

RO-11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou,

being a wild

olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest

of the root and

fatness of the olive tree;

RO-11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast,

thou bearest not

the root, but the root thee.

RO-11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that

I might be

grafted in.

RO-11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and

thou standest by

faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

RO-11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take

heed] lest he also

spare not thee.

RO-11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on

them which

fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in

[his] goodness:

otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

RO-11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief,

shall be grafted

in: for God is able to graft them in again.

RO-11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is

wild by nature,

and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how

much more shall

these, which be the natural [branches], be grafted into their

own olive tree?

RO-11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant

of this

mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that

blindness in part is

happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

RO-11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,

There shall come

out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from

Jacob:

RO-11:27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take

away their

sins.

RO-11:28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your

sakes: but as

touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes.

RO-11:29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without

repentance.

RO-11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet

have now obtained

mercy through their unbelief:

RO-11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through

your mercy

they also may obtain mercy.

RO-11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he

might have mercy

upon all.

RO-11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and

knowledge of God!

how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding

out!

RO-11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath

been his

counsellor?

RO-11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be

recompensed unto him

again?

RO-11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all

things: to whom

[be] glory for ever. Amen.

==== <RO12>

RO-12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of

God, that ye

present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto

God, [which is]

your reasonable service.

RO-12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye

transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good,

and acceptable,

and perfect, will of God.

RO-12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every

man that is among

you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to

think; but to think

soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of

faith.

RO-12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all

members have not the

same office:

RO-12:5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every

one members one

of another.

RO-12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to

us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the

proportion of faith;

RO-12:7 Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he

that teacheth,

on teaching;

RO-12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth,

[let him do it]

with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth

mercy, with

cheerfulness.

RO-12:9 [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which

is evil; cleave

to that which is good.

RO-12:10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly

love; in honour

preferring one another;

RO-12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving

the Lord;

RO-12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing

instant in

prayer;

RO-12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to

hospitality.

RO-12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

RO-12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them

that weep.

RO-12:16 [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not

high things, but

condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own

conceits.

RO-12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things

honest in the

sight of all men.

RO-12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live

peaceably with all

men.

RO-12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather]

give place unto

wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay,

saith the Lord.

RO-12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he

thirst, give him

drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

RO-12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

==== <RO13>

RO-13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For

there is no

power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

RO-13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the

ordinance of

God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

RO-13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the

evil. Wilt thou

then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou

shalt have

praise of the same:

RO-13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if

thou do that

which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain:

for he is the

minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that

doeth evil.

RO-13:5 Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for

wrath, but also for

conscience sake.

RO-13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are

God's ministers,

attending continually upon this very thing.

RO-13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom

tribute [is due];

custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

RO-13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he

that loveth

another hath fulfilled the law.

RO-13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt

not kill, Thou

shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt

not covet; and

if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended

in this saying,

namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

RO-13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love

[is] the

fulfilling of the law.

RO-13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time

to awake out

of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we

believed.

RO-13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us

therefore cast off

the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

RO-13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting

and drunkenness,

not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

RO-13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not

provision for the

flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].

==== <RO14>

RO-14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to

doubtful

disputations.

RO-14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another,

who is weak,

eateth herbs.

RO-14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not;

and let not him

which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received

him.

RO-14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his

own master he

standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able

to make him

stand.

RO-14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another

esteemeth every day

[alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

RO-14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord;

and he that

regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He

that eateth,

eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth

not, to the

Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

RO-14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to

himself.

RO-14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether

we die, we die

unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the

Lord's.

RO-14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,

that he might

be Lord both of the dead and living.

RO-14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou

set at nought

thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of

Christ.

RO-14:11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every

knee shall bow

to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

RO-14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself

to God.

RO-14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but

judge this

rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall

in [his]

brother's way.

RO-14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that

[there is] nothing

unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be

unclean, to him

[it is] unclean.

RO-14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now

walkest thou not

charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

RO-14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

RO-14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but

righteousness, and

peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

RO-14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ [is]

acceptable to God,

and approved of men.

RO-14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make

for peace, and

things wherewith one may edify another.

RO-14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things

indeed [are] pure;

but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.

RO-14:21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine,

nor [any thing]

whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

RO-14:22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God.

Happy [is] he that

condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

RO-14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he

eateth] not of

faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.

==== <RO15>

RO-15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities

of the weak, and

not to please ourselves.

RO-15:2 Let every one of us please [his] neighbour for [his]

good to

edification.

RO-15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is

written, The

reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

RO-15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were

written for our

learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures

might have

hope.

RO-15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be

likeminded one

toward another according to Christ Jesus:

RO-15:6 That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God,

even the Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

RO-15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also

received us to the

glory of God.

RO-15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the

circumcision for the

truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers:

RO-15:9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy;

as it is

written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the

Gentiles, and sing

unto thy name.

RO-15:10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his

people.

RO-15:11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud

him, all ye

people.

RO-15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of

Jesse, and he that

shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles

trust.

RO-15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in

believing,

that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

RO-15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren,

that ye also are

full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to

admonish one another.

RO-15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly

unto you in

some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is

given to me of

God,

RO-15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the

Gentiles,

ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the

Gentiles might be

acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

RO-15:17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus

Christ in those

things which pertain to God.

RO-15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things

which Christ hath

not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and

deed,

RO-15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the

Spirit of God;

so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have

fully preached

the gospel of Christ.

RO-15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where

Christ was

named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

RO-15:21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of,

they shall see:

and they that have not heard shall understand.

RO-15:22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from

coming to you.

RO-15:23 But now having no more place in these parts, and

having a great

desire these many years to come unto you;

RO-15:24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come

to you: for I

trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way

thitherward by you,

if first I be somewhat filled with your [company].

RO-15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the

saints.

RO-15:26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to

make a certain

contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

RO-15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they

are. For if the

Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things,

their duty is also

to minister unto them in carnal things.

RO-15:28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed

to them this

fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

RO-15:29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come

in the fulness

of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

RO-15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus

Christ's sake, and

for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in

[your] prayers

to God for me;

RO-15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe

in Judaea; and

that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of

the saints;

RO-15:32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God,

and may with

you be refreshed.

RO-15:33 Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.

==== <RO16>

RO-16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant

of the church

which is at Cenchrea:

RO-16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints,

and that ye

assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she

hath been a

succourer of many, and of myself also.

RO-16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

RO-16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto

whom not only I

give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

RO-16:5 Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house.

Salute my

wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto

Christ.

RO-16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

RO-16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my

fellowprisoners, who

are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before

me.

RO-16:8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

RO-16:9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my

beloved.

RO-16:10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which

are of

Aristobulus' [household].

RO-16:11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the

[household] of

Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

RO-16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.

RO-16:16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of

Christ salute

you.

RO-16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause

divisions and

offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and

avoid them.

RO-16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,

but their own

belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of

the simple.

RO-16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all [men]. I am

glad therefore

on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is

good, and

simple concerning evil.

RO-16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your

feet shortly. The

grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

RO-16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and

Sosipater, my

kinsmen, salute you.

RO-16:22 I Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, salute you in the

Lord.

RO-16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.

Erastus the

chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

RO-16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.

Amen.

RO-16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according

to my gospel,

and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation

of the mystery,

which was kept secret since the world began,

RO-16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the

prophets,

according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known

to all nations

for the obedience of faith:

RO-16:27 To God only wise, [be] glory through Jesus Christ for

ever. Amen.
