8 ¶ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. FirstG4412 FirstG3303 thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956 thatG3754 yourG5216 faithG4102 spokenG2605 throughoutG1722 wholeG3650 worldG2889

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; ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 myG3450 witnessG3144 whomG3739 serveG3000 withG1722 myG3450 spiritG4151 inG1722 gospelG2098 hisG846 SonG5207 thatG5613 ceasingG89 makeG4160 mentionG3417 youG5216 alwaysG3842 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335

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. requestG1189 meansG1513 nowG2235 lengthG4218 journeyG2137 byG1722 willG2307 GodG2316 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; ForG1063 longG1971 seeG1492 youG5209 thatG2443 impartG3330 youG5213 someG5100 spiritualG4152 giftG5486 endG1519 yeG5209 establishedG4741

12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. ThatG1161 ThatG5124 isG2076 togetherG4837 withG1722 youG5213 byG1223 byG1722 mutualG240 faithG4102 bothG5037 youG5216 andG2532 meG1700

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. NowG1161 wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG50 youG5209 ignorantG50 brethrenG80 thatG3754 oftentimesG4178 purposedG4388 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 butG2532 letG2967 hithertoG891 hithertoG1204 thatG2443 haveG2192 someG5100 fruitG2590 amongG1722 youG5213 alsoG2532 asG2531 asG2532 amongG1722 otherG3062 GentilesG1484

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. amG1510 debtorG3781 bothG5037 GreeksG1672 andG2532 BarbariansG915 bothG5037 wiseG4680 andG2532 unwiseG453

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. SoG3779 asG2596 isG1691 readyG4289 gospelG2097 youG5213 atG1722 RomeG4516 alsoG2532

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. ForG1063 amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 gospelG2098 ChristG5547 forG1063 isG2076 powerG1411 GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 oneG3956 believethG4100 JewG2453 firstG4412 andG5037 alsoG2532 GreekG1672

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. ForG1063 thereinG1722 thereinG846 isG601 righteousnessG1343 GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG1537 faithG4102 toG1519 faithG4102 asG2531 writtenG1125 justG1342 liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ForG1063 wrathG3709 GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 menG444 holdG2722 truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93

19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. BecauseG1360 knownG1110 GodG2316 isG2076 manifestG5318 inG1722 themG846 forG1063 GodG2316 shewedG5319 themG846

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: ForG1063 thingsG517 himG846 fromG575 creationG2937 worldG2889 seenG2529 understoodG3539 madeG4161 evenG5037 hisG846 eternalG126 powerG1411 andG2532 GodheadG2305 soG1519 theyG846 areG1511 excuseG379

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. BecauseG1360 knewG1097 GodG2316 glorifiedG1392 notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316 neitherG2228 thankfulG2168 butG235 vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261 andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 darkenedG4654

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, themselvesG5335 beG1511 wiseG4680 foolsG3471

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. AndG2532 changedG236 gloryG1391 uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 imageG1504 likeG3667 corruptibleG5349 manG444 andG2532 birdsG4071 andG2532 beastsG5074 andG2532 thingsG2062

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 lustsG1939 ownG846 heartsG2588 dishonourG818 ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438

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. WhoG3748 changedG3337 truthG225 GodG2316 intoG1722 lieG5579 andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 creatureG2937 thanG3844 CreatorG2936 whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165 AmenG281

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: ForG1223 thisG5124 GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 untoG1519 vileG819 affectionsG3806 forG1063 evenG5037 theirG846 womenG2338 changeG3337 naturalG5446 useG5540 intoG1519 againstG3844 natureG5449

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. AndG5037 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 menG730 leavingG863 naturalG5446 useG5540 womanG2338 burnedG1572 inG1722 theirG846 lustG3715 anotherG1519 anotherG240 menG730 withG1722 menG730 workingG2716 unseemlyG808 andG2532 receivingG618 inG1722 themselvesG1438 recompenceG489 theirG846 errorG4106 whichG3739 meetG1163

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; AndG2532 asG2531 didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 reprobateG96 mindG3563 doG4160 areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, withG4137 allG3956 unrighteousnessG93 fornicationG4202 wickednessG4189 covetousnessG4124 maliciousnessG2549 fullG3324 envyG5355 murderG5408 debateG2054 deceitG1388 malignityG2550 whisperersG5588

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, BackbitersG2637 GodG2319 despitefulG5197 proudG5244 boastersG213 inventorsG2182 thingsG2556 disobedientG545 parentsG1118

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: understandingG801 covenantbreakersG802 affectionG794 implacableG786 unmercifulG415

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. WhoG3748 knowingG1921 judgmentG1345 GodG2316 thatG3754 commitG4238 thingsG5108 areG1526 worthyG514 deathG2288 notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 sameG846 butG235 butG2532 pleasureG4909 doG4238
