¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; ² and the earth being without form and empty, and darkness on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moving gently on the face of the waters, ³ then God said, Let light be!

² Jehovah looked down from Heaven on the sons of mankind, to see if there were any discerning and seeking God:

¹ Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated to the gospel of God, ² which He promised before through His prophets in holy Scriptures, ³ concerning His Son who came of the seed of David according to flesh, ⁴ who was marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord; ⁵ by whom we received grace and apostleship to obedience of faith among all the nations, for His name's sake, ⁶ among whom are you also, called-out ones of Jesus Christ; ⁷ to all those who are in Rome, beloved of God, called-out saints, Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of in all the world. ⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, how without ceasing I make mention of you ¹⁰ always at my prayers, beseeching if by any means now at length I shall be blessed by the will of God to come to you. ¹¹ For I long to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, for the establishing of you; ¹² and this is to be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. ¹³ But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I purposed to come to you, and was kept back until the present, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other nations. ¹⁴ I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise, and to foolish, ¹⁵ so as far as in me lies, I am eager to preach the gospel to you in Rome also. ¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek; ¹⁷ for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by" "faith." Hab. 2:4 ¹⁸ For God's wrath is revealed from Heaven on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, holding the truth in unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because the thing known of God is clearly known within them, for God revealed it to them. ²⁰ for the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse. ²¹ Because knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful. But they became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened. ²² Professing to be wise, they became foolish ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. ²⁴ Because of this, God gave them up to impurity in the lusts of their hearts, their bodies to be dishonored among themselves, ²⁵ who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. ²⁶ Because of this, God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for even their females changed the natural use to that contrary to nature. ²⁷ And likewise, the males also forsaking the natural use of the female burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving back within themselves the reward which was fitting for their error. ²⁸ And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, ²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, iniquity, covetousness, malice, being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ without discernment, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful, ³² who knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also applaud those practicing them .

¹⁶ The heavens; the heavens are Jehovah's, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

¹⁸ For so says Jehovah, Creator of the heavens; He is God, forming the earth and making it; He makes it stand, not creating it empty, but forming it to be inhabited. I am Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹ But a certain man named Cornelius was in Caesarea, a centurion of a cohort being called Italian, ² one devout and fearing God, with all his household, both doing many alms to the people and praying continually to God. ³ About the ninth hour of the day, he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius! ⁴ And he was staring at him, and becoming terrified he said, What is it, Sir? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms went up for a memorial before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter. ⁶ This one is lodged with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do. ⁷ And when the angel speaking to Cornelius went away, calling two of his servants and a devout soldier of those continually waiting on him, ⁸ and having explained all things to them, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ And on the morrow, these passing along on the road, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he became hungry and wished to taste food . But as they were preparing, an ecstasy fell on him. ¹¹ And he saw the heaven being opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet coming down on him, being bound by four corners, and let down onto the earth; ¹² in which were all the four-footed animals of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the heaven. ¹³ And a voice came to him, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, Not at all, Lord, because I never did eat anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And again a voice came to him a second time, What things God made clean, you do not make common. ¹⁶ And this happened three times, and the vessel was taken up into the heaven again. ¹⁷ And as Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he saw might be, even behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius stood on the porch asking out the house of Simon. ¹⁸ And calling out, they inquired if Simon being surnamed Peter is lodged here. ¹⁹ And as Peter pondered concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are seeking you. ²⁰ But rising up, go down and go with them, not discriminating, because I have sent them. ²¹ And going down to the men, the ones sent from Cornelius to him, Peter said, Behold, I am the one you seek. What is the cause for which you are here? ²² And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a just man and one fearing God, and being testified to by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy angel to call you to his house and to hear words from you. ²³ Then calling them in, he lodged them . And on the morrow Peter went out with them. And some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ And on the morrow they entered Caesarea. And Cornelius was awaiting them, having called together his relatives and his intimate friends. ²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, meeting him, Cornelius fell at his feet and worshiped. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, Stand up! I myself am also a man. ²⁷ And talking with him, he went in and found many having come together. ²⁸ And he said to them, You know how unlawful it is for a man, a Jew, to unite with or to come near to one of another race. Yet God showed to me not to call a man common or unclean. ²⁹ Therefore, I also came without complaint, being summoned. Then I ask for what reason did you send for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said, From the fourth day until this hour I have been fasting, and the ninth hour I was praying in my house. And, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing. ³¹ And he said, Cornelius, your prayer was heard and your alms were remembered before God. ³² Therefore, send to Joppa and call for Simon who is surnamed Peter; this one is lodged in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. Having come, he will speak to you. ³³ Then at once I sent to you, and you did well to come. Now then, we are all present before God to hear all the things having been commanded you by God. ³⁴ And opening his mouth, Peter said, Truly I see that God is not an accepter of faces, ³⁵ but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him. ³⁶ The Word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, this One is Lord of all. ³⁷ You know the thing that happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed, ³⁸ Jesus the One from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all those having been oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which He did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem. They did away with Him, hanging Him on a tree. ⁴⁰ God raised up this One the third day and gave to Him to become visible; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses, the ones having been before hand-picked by God, to us who ate and drank with Him after His rising again from the dead. ⁴² And He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to witness solemnly that it is He who has been marked out by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. ⁴³ To this One all the Prophets witness, so that through His name everyone believing into Him will receive remission of sins. ⁴⁴ As Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those hearing the Word. ⁴⁵ And the faithful of the circumcision were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the nations also. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ Can anyone forbid the water that these not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit received, even as we also? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain some days.

¹⁵ But sanctify" Isa. 8:12, 13 the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to everyone asking you a reason concerning the hope in you, with meekness and fear,

³ Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread, I have given it to you, as I spoke to Moses.

²⁸ And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right, ²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, iniquity, covetousness, malice, being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ without discernment, perfidious, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful,

¹¹ Lord, You are worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You created all things, and through Your will they exist and were created.

⁵ Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding; ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
