Romans Chapter 1 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, 001:002 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 001:003 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 001:004 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Open2Romans Chapter 2
Romans Chapter 2 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 002:001 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. 002:002 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 002:003 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

Romans Chapter 3 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 003:001 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision? 003:002 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 003:003 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God? 003:004 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words,

Romans Chapter 4 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 004:001 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh? 004:002 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God. 004:003 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."{Genesis 15:6} 004:004 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt. 004:005 But to him

Romans Chapter 5 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 005:001 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; 005:002 through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 005:003 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; 005:004 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: 005:005 and

Romans Chapter 6 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 006:001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 006:002 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 006:003 Or don't you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 006:004 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we

Romans Chapter 9 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 009:001 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit, 009:002 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. 009:003 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh, 009:004 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the

Romans Chapter 10 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 010:001 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 010:002 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 010:003 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 010:004 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of

Romans Chapter 11 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 011:001 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 011:002 God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel: 011:003 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my

Romans Chapter 13 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 013:001 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. 013:002 Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. 013:003 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that

Romans Chapter 14 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 014:001 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions. 014:002 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 014:003 Don't let him who eats despise him who doesn't eat. Don't let him who doesn't eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him. 014:004 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand,

1 Corinthians Chapter 2 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 002:001 When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 002:002 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 002:003 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 002:004 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and

1 Corinthians Chapter 3 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 003:001 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. 003:002 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, 003:003 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men? 003:004 For when one says, "I follow Paul," and

Yes, I don't judge my own self. 004:004 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. 004:005

1 Corinthians Chapter 5 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 005:001 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father's wife. 005:002 You are puffed up, and didn't rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you. 005:003 For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, have already, as though I were present, judged him

And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 006:003 Don't you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 006:004 If then, you have to judge things pertaining

1 Corinthians Chapter 7 from The New Testament: Epistles and Revelation, World English Bible. 007:001 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. 007:002 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 007:003 Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 007:004 The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband.

Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 008:002 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know. 008:003 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him. 008:004 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no

For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. 010:005 However with most of them, God was not
