Bible Version
Day 320 Day 321Day 322

Romans chapter 1

1
From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus and an apostle chosen and called by God to preach his Good News.
2
The Good News was promised long ago by God through his prophets, as written in the Holy Scriptures.
3
It is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: as to his humanity, he was born a descendant of David;
4
as to his divine holiness, he was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death.
5
Through him God gave me the privilege of being an apostle for the sake of Christ, in order to lead people of all nations to believe and obey.
6
This also includes you who are in Rome, whom God has called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7
And so I write to all of you in Rome whom God loves and has called to be his own people: May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the whole world is hearing about your faith.
9
God is my witness that what I say is true---the God whom I serve with all my heart by preaching the Good News about his Son. God knows that I remember you
10
every time I pray. I ask that God in his good will may at last make it possible for me to visit you now.
11
For I want very much to see you, in order to share a spiritual blessing with you to make you strong.
12
What I mean is that both you and I will be helped at the same time, you by my faith and I by yours.
13
You must remember, my friends, that many times I have planned to visit you, but something has always kept me from doing so. I want to win converts among you also, as I have among other Gentiles.
14
For I have an obligation to all peoples, to the civilized and to the savage, to the educated and to the ignorant.
15
So then, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who live in Rome.
16
I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.
17
For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, "The person who is put right with God through faith shall live."
18
God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known.
19
God punishes them, because what can be known about God is plain to them, for God himself made it plain.
20
Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!
21
They know God, but they do not give him the honor that belongs to him, nor do they thank him. Instead, their thoughts have become complete nonsense, and their empty minds are filled with darkness.
22
They say they are wise, but they are fools;
23
instead of worshiping the immortal God, they worship images made to look like mortals or birds or animals or reptiles.
24
And so God has given those people over to do the filthy things their hearts desire, and they do shameful things with each other.
25
They exchange the truth about God for a lie; they worship and serve what God has created instead of the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever! Amen.
26
Because they do this, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts.
27
In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing.
28
Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do.
29
They are filled with all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed, and vice; they are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deceit, and malice. They gossip
30
and speak evil of one another; they are hateful to God, insolent, proud, and boastful; they think of more ways to do evil; they disobey their parents;
31
they have no conscience; they do not keep their promises, and they show no kindness or pity for others.
32
They know that God's law says that people who live in this way deserve death. Yet, not only do they continue to do these very things, but they even approve of others who do them.

Romans chapter 2

1
Do you, my friend, pass judgment on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do the same things which they do, you condemn yourself.
2
We know that God is right when he judges the people who do such things as these.
3
But you, my friend, do those very things for which you pass judgment on others! Do you think you will escape God's judgment?
4
Or perhaps you despise his great kindness, tolerance, and patience. Surely you know that God is kind, because he is trying to lead you to repent.
5
But you have a hard and stubborn heart, and so you are making your own punishment even greater on the Day when God's anger and righteous judgments will be revealed.
6
For God will reward each of us according to what we have done.
7
Some people keep on doing good, and seek glory, honor, and immortal life; to them God will give eternal life.
8
Other people are selfish and reject what is right, in order to follow what is wrong; on them God will pour out his anger and fury.
9
There will be suffering and pain for all those who do what is evil, for the Jews first and also for the Gentiles.
10
But God will give glory, honor, and peace to all who do what is good, to the Jews first and also to the Gentiles.
11
For God judges everyone by the same standard.
12
The Gentiles do not have the Law of Moses; they sin and are lost apart from the Law. The Jews have the Law; they sin and are judged by the Law.
13
For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands.
14
The Gentiles do not have the Law; but whenever they do by instinct what the Law commands, they are their own law, even though they do not have the Law.
15
Their conduct shows that what the Law commands is written in their hearts. Their consciences also show that this is true, since their thoughts sometimes accuse them and sometimes defend them.
16
And so, according to the Good News I preach, this is how it will be on that Day when God through Jesus Christ will judge the secret thoughts of all.
17
What about you? You call yourself a Jew; you depend on the Law and boast about God;
18
you know what God wants you to do, and you have learned from the Law to choose what is right;
19
you are sure that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in darkness,
20
an instructor for the foolish, and a teacher for the ignorant. You are certain that in the Law you have the full content of knowledge and of truth.
21
You teach others---why don't you teach yourself ? You preach, "Do not steal"---but do you yourself steal?
22
You say, "Do not commit adultery"---but do you commit adultery? You detest idols---but do you rob temples?
23
You boast about having God's law---but do you bring shame on God by breaking his law?
24
The scripture says, "Because of you Jews, the Gentiles speak evil of God."
25
If you obey the Law, your circumcision is of value; but if you disobey the Law, you might as well never have been circumcised.
26
If the Gentile, who is not circumcised, obeys the commands of the Law, will not God regard him as though he were circumcised?
27
And so you Jews will be condemned by the Gentiles because you break the Law, even though you have it written down and are circumcised; but they obey the Law, even though they are not physically circumcised.
28
After all, who is a real Jew, truly circumcised? It is not the man who is a Jew on the outside, whose circumcision is a physical thing.
29
Rather, the real Jew is the person who is a Jew on the inside, that is, whose heart has been circumcised, and this is the work of God's Spirit, not of the written Law. Such a person receives praise from God, not from human beings.

Romans chapter 3

1
Do the Jews then have any advantage over the Gentiles? Or is there any value in being circumcised?
2
Much, indeed, in every way! In the first place, God trusted his message to the Jews.
3
But what if some of them were not faithful? Does this mean that God will not be faithful?
4
Certainly not! God must be true, even though all human beings are liars. As the scripture says, "You must be shown to be right when you speak; you must win your case when you are being tried."
5
But what if our doing wrong serves to show up more clearly God's doing right? Can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (This would be the natural question to ask.)
6
By no means! If God is not just, how can he judge the world?
7
But what if my untruth serves God's glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I still be condemned as a sinner?
8
Why not say, then, "Let us do evil so that good may come"? Some people, indeed, have insulted me by accusing me of saying this very thing! They will be condemned, as they should be.
9
Well then, are we Jews in any better condition than the Gentiles? Not at all! I have already shown that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
10
As the Scriptures say: "There is no one who is righteous,
11
no one who is wise or who worships God.
12
All have turned away from God; they have all gone wrong; no one does what is right, not even one.
13
Their words are full of deadly deceit; wicked lies roll off their tongues, and dangerous threats, like snake's poison, from their lips;
14
their speech is filled with bitter curses.
15
They are quick to hurt and kill;
16
they leave ruin and destruction wherever they go.
17
They have not known the path of peace,
18
nor have they learned reverence for God."
19
Now we know that everything in the Law applies to those who live under the Law, in order to stop all human excuses and bring the whole world under God's judgment.
20
For no one is put right in God's sight by doing what the Law requires; what the Law does is to make us know that we have sinned.
21
But now God's way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.
22
God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all:
23
everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence.
24
But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.
25
God offered him, so that by his blood he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him. God did this in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. In the past he was patient and overlooked people's sins; but in the present time he deals with their sins, in order to demonstrate his righteousness. In this way God shows that he himself is righteous and that he puts right everyone who believes in Jesus.
26
(SEE 3:25)
27
What, then, can we boast about? Nothing! And what is the reason for this? Is it that we obey the Law? No, but that we believe.
28
For we conclude that a person is put right with God only through faith, and not by doing what the Law commands.
29
Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles also? Of course he is.
30
God is one, and he will put the Jews right with himself on the basis of their faith, and will put the Gentiles right through their faith.
31
Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.
