ROMANS 1:16-32
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.
1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as 
it is written, The just shall live by faith.
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and 
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath 
shewed it unto them.
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:
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.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
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.
1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their 
own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
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.
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:
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.
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;
1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, 
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; 
whisperers,
1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil 
things, disobedient to parents,
1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, 
implacable, unmerciful:
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.
