Month: January 2026

 1      Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God                                                                                                                               

2     which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,      Acts. 26:6; Gal. 3:8                                                                                                                            

♦3    concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,  Matt 1:6; Matt 1:16; Luke 3:23, Luke 3:31

♦4    and declared tobe the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.   

5     Through him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,                         Acts 6:7;  Acts 9:15; Eph 3:8

6     among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;      1 Cor 1:12

7     To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                                                             Num 6:25-26

8     First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. Rom, 16:19; 1

9     For God is my witness whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,                1 Thess 3:10;  1Thess 5:17                                                                                                                 

10   making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.                                                                                                                        11   For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—                                                                                                           

12   that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.                                                                                                                                    13   Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.                                                                          

14   I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.    1 Cor 9:22                                                                                                               

15    So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel in Rome to you who are in Rome also.       Rom 15:19-20 

16   For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.          1 Cor 1:18                                                                                                                          

17   For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written “The just shall live by faith.”    Rom 3:21-22;Hab2:4

18   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.          1 Thess 1:10; 1 Thess 2:16; 1 Thess 5:9                                                                                           

19   because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.              Acts 14:17 

20   For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,                                        Ps 19:1-6 

21   because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.                                      Jer 2:5

22   Professing to be wise, they became fools, Jer 10:4; 1 Cor 1:18-25 

23   and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man— and birds and four footed animals and creeping things.                1 Tim 1:17; 1 Tim 6:15-16

24   Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,   1 Cor 6:18

25   who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen.                                                                Is. 44:20; Jer. 10:14

26   For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.                                                    27   Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the 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.    Lev. 18:22    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 which are not fitting;                                                  Rom 1: 24; Rom. 1:26 

29   being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, they are whisperers,              1 Cor. 6:9-10

30   backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,                                                                                                                 

31   undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;                 

32   who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.        Rom 2:2; Rom. 6:21    

1 I commend you to Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, Acts. 18:18

2 that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also. Rom. 14:1; Rom. 15:7

3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

4 who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Acts. 18:18-19, Acts. 18:26

5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ. 1 Cor. 16:15
6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us.

7 Greet Adronicus and Junia, my countrymen and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Gal. 1:22

8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

10 Greet Apelles, approved in Christ, greet those who are in the household of Aristobulus who are in the Lord.

11 Greet Herodian, my countryman. Greet those who are of the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.

12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, who have labored in the Lord. Greet the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
1 Cor. 16:20

17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

18 For those who are such that do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. Col. 2:4

19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. Matt. 10:16

20 And the God of peace will crush satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Rom. 15:33; Gen. 3:15

21 Timothy my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen greet you. Acts. 16:1
22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle greet you in the Lord.

23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. Acts. 19:22

24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

25 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began. Eph. 1:9; Eph. 3:20; Col. 1:26

26 but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, For obedience to the faith Rom. 1:5

27 to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Gal. 6:1-2; 1 Thess. 5:14

2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 1 Cor. 9:22; 2 Cor. 13:9

3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written. “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” Ps. 69:9

4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 1 Cor. 10:11

5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus. Phil. 2:2

6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God. Rom. 5:2; Rom. 14:1-3

8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: 2 Sam. 22:50; Ps. `18:49

For this reason I will confess
to you among the Gentiles,
And sing to your name.”

10 And again He says: Deut. 32:43

“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His
people!”

11 And again: Ps. 117:1

“Praise the Lord, all you
Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”


12 And again, Isaiah says:

“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to
reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall
hope.” Is. 11:10

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Eph. 1:17

15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

16 that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Rom. 11:13

17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. 1 Cor. 1:29-31

18 For I will not dare to speak to any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient Acts. 15:12; Acts. 21:19

19 in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation,

21 but as it is written: Is. 52:15

“To whom He was not
announced, they shall see;
And those who have not
heard shall understand.”

22 For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you, Rom. 1:15

24 whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, first I may enjoy your company for awhile. Rom. 1:12; Acts. 15:3

25 But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

26 For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

27 It pleased them indeed, and they are debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things. Rom. 11:7

28 Therefore when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. Phil. 4:17

29 But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me. Phil. 2:1

31 that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

32 that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you. Rom. 1:10

33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen 1 Cor. 14:33; Heb. 13:20
