- For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.”
- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
- For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper. - Therefore you have no excuse, you foolish person, everyone of you who passes judgment; for in that matter in which you judge someone else, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
- Who will repay each person according to his deeds.
- For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law.
- Because by the works of the Law none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin.
- But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.
- For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.
- Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.
- And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
- For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
- For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
- But the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.
- For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
- So that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
