The King James Version Bible

Romans 1:3-15

  1. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

  2. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

  3. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

  4. Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

  5. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  6. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

  7. 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;

  8. Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

  9. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

  10. That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

  11. 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.

  12. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

  13. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
