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.Select Romans 1:16
17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.Select Romans 1:17
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;Select Romans 1:18
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.Select Romans 1:19
20For 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:Select Romans 1:20
21Because 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.Select Romans 1:21
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,Select Romans 1:22
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.Select Romans 1:23
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:Select Romans 1:24
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.Select Romans 1:25
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:Select Romans 1:26
27And 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 recompence of their error which was meet.Select Romans 1:27
