God

Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.

Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.

For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.

Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen.

For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.

For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,

Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents, without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.

Who 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.

But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.

And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?

Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God,

For there is no respect of persons with God.

(For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.

At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,

Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?

For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.

For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?

God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.

Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)

God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?
