Apostle Paul's Epistle to The Romans Part IV

Romans 1:18: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

hold (defined):

1. Suppress
2. Bridle
3. They keep down the truth which they know, by the wickedness
   whereby they live.
4. Smothered the truth by their unbelief.
5. By their wicked lies they are stifling the truth.

 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.



 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:



 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.



 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,



 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.



 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:



 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.



 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:



 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.



Reference Scriptures: II Peter 2:6, June 7, an Old Testament reference, Gen. 19:24-25.



 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;



 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,



 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,



 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:



 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.



Rom. 2:2:But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.



 3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?



 4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?



 5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
 6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:



And...



:12: For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;



 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.



 14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:



 15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)



 16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.



And...



:28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:



 29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.



Rom. 3:1: What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?



 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.



Rom. 4:1:What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
 2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.



 3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.



And...



:16: Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,



And...



:18: Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.



 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:



 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;



 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.



Rom. 6:23:For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



Rom. 8:14:For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.



Rom. 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.



 14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?



 15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!



Rom. 15:15:Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,



 16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
