5

throughg1223 whomg3739 we have receivedg2983 graceg5485 and  aapostleshipg651  1to bringg1519 aboutg1519 the  bobedienceg5218 of faithg4102 amongg1722  callg3956 the Gentilesg1484 for His name'sg3686 sakeg5228,

9

For  aGodg2316, whomg3739 I  bserveg3000 in my spiritg4151 in the preaching of the gospelg2098 of His Song5207, is my witnessg3144 as to howg5613 unceasinglyg89  cI makeg4160 mentiong3417 of you,

10

alwaysg3842 in my prayersg4335 makingg1189a requestg1189a, ifg1487 perhapsg4458 nowg2235 at lastg4218 by  athe willg2307 of Godg2316 I may succeedg2137 in comingg2064 to you.

11

For  aI longg1971 to seeg3708 you sog2443 that I may impartg3330 someg5100 spiritualg4152 giftg5486 to you, that you may be  1establishedg4741;

12

that is, that I may be encouragedg4837 togetherg4837 with you while amongg1722 you, eachg240 of us by the other'sg240 faithg4102, bothg5037 yoursg4771 and mineg1473.

13

 aI do not wantg2309 you to be unawareg50,  bbrethreng80, that ofteng4178 I  chave plannedg4388 to comeg2064 to you (and have been preventedg2967 sog2443 farg891) sog2443 that I may obtaing2192 someg5100  dfruitg2590 amongg1722 you alsog2532, eveng2531a as amongg1722 the restg3062 of the Gentilesg1484.

14

 aI amg1510  1underg3781 obligationg3781 bothg5037 to Greeksg1672 and to  bbarbariansg915, bothg5037 to the wiseg4680 and to the foolishg453.

For I amg1870 not  aashamedg1870 of the gospelg2098, for  bit is the powerg1411 of Godg2316 for salvationg4991 to everyoneg3956 who believesg4100, to the  cJewg2453 firstg4413 and alsog5037 to  dthe Greekg1672.

17

For in it  athe righteousnessg1343 of Godg2316 is revealedg601  1from faithg4102 to faithg4102; as it is writteng1125, " 2 bBUT THE RIGHTEOUSg1342 man SHALL LIVEg2198 BY FAITHg4102."

Unbelief and Its Consequences

18

For  athe wrathg3709 of Godg2316 is revealedg601 from heaveng3772 againstg1909 allg3956 ungodlinessg763 and unrighteousnessg93 of meng444 who  bsuppressg2722 the truthg225  1in unrighteousnessg93,

19

becauseg1360  athat whichg1110 is knowng1110 about Godg2316 is evidentg5318  1withing1722 them; for Godg2316 madeg5319 it evidentg5319 to them.

20

For  asinceg575 the creationg2937 of the worldg2889 His invisibleg517 attributes, His eternalg126 powerg1411 and divineg2305 natureg2305, have been clearlyg2529 seeng2529,  bbeing understoodg3539 through whatg4161 hasg4161 beeng4161 madeg4161, sog1519 that they are withoutg379 excuseg379.

21

For even though they knewg1097 Godg2316, they did not  1honorg1392 Him as Godg2316 org2228 giveg2168 thanksg2168, but they becameg3154  afutileg3154 in their speculationsg1261, and their foolishg801 heartg2588 was darkenedg4654.

22

 aProfessingg5335 to be wiseg4680, they becameg3471 foolsg3471,

23

and  aexchangedg236 the gloryg1391 of the incorruptibleg862a Godg2316 for an imageg1504 in the formg3667 of corruptibleg5349 mang444 and of birdsg4071 and four-footedg5074 animalsg5074 and  1crawlingg2062 creaturesg2062.

24

Thereforeg1352  aGodg2316 gaveg3860 them overg3860 in the lustsg1939 of their heartsg2588 to impurityg167, sog1519 that their bodiesg4983 would be  bdishonoredg818 amongg1722 them.

25

For they exchangedg3337 the truthg225 of Godg2316 for  1a  alieg5579, and worshipedg4573 and servedg3000 the creatureg2937 ratherg3844 thang3844 the Creatorg2936,  bwhog3739 is blessedg2128  2foreverg165. Ameng281.

26

For thisg3778 reasong1223  aGodg2316 gaveg3860 them overg3860 to  bdegradingg819 passionsg3806; for their womeng2338 exchangedg3337 the naturalg5446 functiong5540 for that which is  1unnaturalg3844g5449,

27

and in the sameg3668 wayg3668 alsog2532 the meng733b abandonedg863 the naturalg5446 functiong5540 of the womang2338 and burnedg1572 in their desireg3715 towardg1519 oneg240 anotherg240,  ameng733b with meng733b committingg2716  1indecentg808 actsg808 and receivingg618 in  2their owng1438 personsg1438 the dueg1163 penaltyg489 of their errorg4106.

28

And justg2531a as they did not seeg1381a fitg1381a  1to acknowledgeg2192g1922 Godg2316 any longer,  aGodg2316 gaveg3860 them overg3860 to a depravedg96b mindg3563, to dog4160 thoseg3588 things which are not properg2520,

29

being filledg4137 with allg3956 unrighteousnessg93, wickednessg4189, greedg4124, evilg2549; fullg3324 of envyg5355, murderg5408, strifeg2054, deceitg1388, maliceg2550; they are  agossipsg5588,

30

slanderersg2637,  1 ahatersg2319 of Godg2319, insolentg5197, arrogantg5244a, boastfulg213, inventorsg2182 of evilg2556,  bdisobedientg545 to parentsg1118,

31

withoutg801 understandingg801, untrustworthyg802,  aunlovingg794, unmercifulg415a;

32

and although they knowg1921 the ordinanceg1345 of Godg2316, that thoseg3588 who practiceg4238 suchg5108 thingsg5108 are worthyg514 of  adeathg2288, they not onlyg3440 dog4160 the sameg846, but alsog2532  bgiveg4909 heartyg4909 approvalg4909 to thoseg3588 who practiceg4238 them.
