The fyrste Chapter.
Paule declareth his loue toward the Romaines,
sheweth what the Gospell is with the fruttes therof,
and rebuketh the bestlynes of the fleshe.
A notePaule the seruaunte
of Iesus Christ called
to be an Apostle,
put aparte to
preache the Gospel
of God, whiche he
promised afore by
hys Prophetes in
the holye scriptures
that make mention
of hys sonne, the whyche was begotten of the
sede of Dauid (as perteininge to the fleshe)
and declared to be the sonne of God, wyth
power of the holye ghoste that sanctifyeth,
sence the tyme that Iesus Christ our Lorde
rose againe from death, by whom we haue receyued
grace and Apostleshyp, to brynge all
maner heathen people vnto the obedience of
the fayth that is in his name: of the whyche
heathen are ye a parte also, whyche are Iesus
Christes by vocation. &cross3;
B To all you at Rome beloued of God, and
05Q1417 sainctes by callynge05Q1418 Grace be wyth you
and peace from God our father, and from
our Lorde Iesus Christ. Fyrste verelye I
thanke my God thorowe Iesus Christe for
you all, because your fayth is publyshed
throughout all the worlde. For God is my
wytnes, whom I serue wyth my spyryte in
the Gospel of hys sonne, that wythout ceasinge
I make mencion of you alwayes in my
prayers, besechinge that at one tyme or other,
a prosperous iorneye (by the wyll of God)
myghte fortune me, to come vnto you. For I
longe to se you that I myght bestowe am&obar;ge
you some spyrytuall gyfte, to strenght you
wyth all, that is that I might haue consolacion
together wyth you through the common
fayth, whiche both ye and I haue.
note&rhand; I woulde that ye shoulde knowe bretherne,
howe that I haue often tymes purposed
to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto)
to haue some fruite amonge you, as I haue
amonge other of the G&ebar;tyls. For I am detter
-- --
both to the Grekes and to them, whyche are
no Grekes, vnto the learned and also vnto þe;
vnlearned. Lykewyse as much as in me is. I
am redy to preache þe; Gospel to you of Rome
also. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ, because it is the power of God vnto
saluacion to all that beleue, namely to þe; Iewe
and also to the05Q1419 gentyle. For by it the rightuousnes,
which commeth of God is opened
from fayth05Q1420 to fayth. As it is written: the
iust shal liue by faith.
C &rhand; For the wrath of God appeareth fr&obar; heauen
agaynste all vngodlynesse and vnryghtuousnes
of m&ebar;, whiche wythholde the trueth
in vnryghtuousnes, saiyng: what maye be
know&ebar; of God, that same is manifest am&obar;ge
them. For God dyd shewe it vnto them. So
that his inuisible thinges, that is to saye, hys
eternall power and Godhead, are vnderst&abar;d
∧ sene by the workes from the creation of the
worlde. note noteSo that they are wythout excuse, in
as muche as when they knewe God, they glorifyed
him not as God, neither were thankful,
but waxed full of vanities in theyr Imaginations,
and their folishe hertes were blinded.
When they counted them selues wyse,
they became foles, and tourned the glorye of
the immortall God, vnto the þe; similitude of þe;
Image of mortall man, and of byrdes, and
foure foted beastes, and of serpentes.
D Wherfore
God lykewyse gaue them vp vnto their
hertes lustes vnto vncleanes, to defyle theyr
owne bodies betwene them selues: whyche
turned hys truth vnto a lye, and worshipped
and serued the creatures more th&ebar; the maker,
whyche is blessed for euer. Amen. For
this cause God gaue them vp vnto shamefull
lustes. For euen theyr women dyd
chandge the natural vse vnto the vnnaturall.
And lykewyse also the men lefte the naturall
vse of the woman, and brent in theyr lustes
one on another. And m&abar; with m&abar; wroughte
fylthynes, and receiued in them selues the reward
of theyr errour, as it was accordinge.
E And as it semed not good vnto them to be
a knowen of God, euen so God deliuered th&ebar;
vp vnto a leud minde, þt; they should do those
thinges, whiche were not comly, beyng ful of
al vnryghtuous doing, of fornicaci&obar;, wickednes,
couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuye,
murther, debate, disceite, euyl condicioned,
whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, doers
of wronge, proude, bosters, bryngers vp of
euyll thinges, disobedient to father and mother,
wythout vnderstandynge, couenaunt
breakers, vnlouinge, truce breakers and mercyles.
Whyche men though they knewe the
ryghtuousnes of God, howe that they which
such thinges commit, are worthy of death, yet
not onely do the same, but also haue05Q1421 pleasure
in them that do them.
