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 recompence 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.
Chapter 2
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 shew 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.
