Romans 1:13-29

¹³And, brethren, I will not, that ye not know, that oft I purposed to come to you, and I am hindered till this time, that I have some fruit in you, as in other folks.

¹⁴To Greeks and to barbarians, to wise men and to unwise men, I am debtor,

¹⁵so that that is in me is ready to preach the gospel or to evangelize also to you that be at Rome.

¹⁶For I shame not the gospel, for it is the virtue of God into health, to each man that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

¹⁷For the rightwiseness of God is showed in it, of faith into faith, as it is written, For a just man liveth of faith.

¹⁸For the wrath of God is showed from heaven on all unpiety and wickedness or unrightwiseness of those men, that withhold or hold aback the truth of God in unrightwiseness.

¹⁹For that thing of God that is known, is showed or is made open to them, for God hath showed to them.

²⁰For the invisible things of him, that be understood, be beheld of the creature of the world, by those things that be made, yea, and the everlasting virtue of him, and the Godhead, so that they may not be excused or they be unexcusable.

²¹For when they had known God, they glorified him not as God, neither did thankings; but they vanished in their thoughts, and the unwise heart of them was darked or made dark.

²²For they saying that themselves were wise, they were made fools.

²³And they exchanged the glory of uncorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a deadly or a corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of serpents.

²⁴For which thing God betook them into the desires of their heart, into uncleanness, that they punish with wrongs their bodies in themselves.

²⁵The which men changed the truth of God into leasing, and praised and served a creature rather than the Creator, that is blessed into worlds of worlds or into without end. Amen.

²⁶Therefore God betook them into passions of shame or of evil fame. For the women of them changed the natural use into that use that is against kind.

²⁷Also the men forsook the kindly use of women, and burned in their desires together, and men into men wrought filthhood, and received into themselves the meed that behooved of their error.

²⁸And as they proved that they had not God in knowing, God betook them into a reprovable wit, that they do those things that be not covenable;

²⁹that they be full-filled with all wickedness, malice, fornication, covet-ousness, waywardness, full of envy, manslayings, strife, guile, evil will,
