15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

The Just Live by Faith

16 For aI am not ashamed of the gospel1 of Christ, for bit is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, cfor the Jew first and also for the Greek.  
17 For ain it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, b“The just shall live by faith.”  

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 aFor the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and bunrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  
19 because awhat may be known of God is manifest2 in them, for bGod has shown it to them.  
20 For since the creation of the world aHis invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and1 Godhead, so that they are without excuse,  
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but abecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.  
22 aProfessing to be wise, they became fools,  
23 and changed the glory of the aincorruptible bGod into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.  
24 aTherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, bto dishonor their bodies camong themselves,  
25 who exchanged athe truth of God bfor the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.  
26 For this reason God gave them up to avile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.  
27 Likewise also the1 men, leaving the natural use of the2 woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.  
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things awhich are not fitting;  
29 being filled with all unrighteousness,1 sexual immorality, wickedness,2 covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,  
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 1undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving,2 unforgiving, unmerciful;  
32 who, aknowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things bare deserving of death, not only do the same but also capprove of those who practice them.
