Romans 1:11-30

¹¹For I longe to see you that I myght bestowe amonge you some spirituall gyfte to strength you with all:

¹²that is that I myght have consolacion together with you through the commen fayth which bothe ye and I have.

¹³I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethren how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of the Gentyls.

¹⁴For I am detter both to the Grekes and to them which are no Grekes vnto the learned and also vnto the vnlearned.

¹⁵Lykewyse as moche as in me is I am redy to preache the Gospell to you of Rome also.

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is the power of God vnto salvacion to all that beleve namely to the Iewe and also to the getyle.

¹⁷For by it the rightewesnes which cometh of god is opened from fayth to fayth. As it is written: The iust shall live by fayth.

¹⁸For the wrath of God apereth from heven agaynst all vngodlynes and vnrightewesnes of me which withholde the trueth in vnrightewesnes:

¹⁹seynge what maye be knowen of God that same is manifest amonge them. For God dyd shewe it vnto them.

²⁰So that his invisible thinges: that is to saye his eternall power and godhed are vnderstonde and sene by the workes from the creacion of the worlde. So that they are without excuse

²¹in as moche as when they knewe god they glorified him not as God nether were thakfull but wexed full of vanities in their imaginacions and their folisshe hertes were blynded.

²²When they counted them selves wyse they became foles

²³and turned the glory of the immortall god vnto the similitude of the ymage of mortall man and of byrdes and foure foted beastes and of serpentes.

²⁴Wherfore god lykewyse gave the vp vnto their hertes lustes vnto vnclennes to defyle their awne boddyes bitwene them selves:

²⁵which tourned his truthe vnto a lye and worshipped and served the creatures more then the maker which is blessed for ever. Amen.

²⁶For this cause god gave them vp vnto shamfull lustes. For even their wemen did chaunge the naturall vse vnto the vnnaturall.

²⁷And lyke wyse also the men lefte the naturall vse of the woman and bret in their lustes one on another. And man with man wrought filthynes and receaved in them selves the rewarde of their erroure as it was accordinge.

²⁸And as it semed not good vnto them to be aknowen of God even so God delivered them vp vnto a leawde mynd that they shuld do tho thinges which were not comly

²⁹beinge full of all vnrighteous doinge of fornicacio wickednes coveteousnes maliciousnes full of envie morther debate disseyte evill condicioned whisperers

³⁰backbyters haters of God doers of wronge proude bosters bringers vp of evyll thinges disobedient to father and mother
