52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Romans 1

1

Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,

2

(which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings,)

3

concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,

4

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 have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

6

among whom are *ye* also [the] called of Jesus Christ:

7

to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.

8

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

9

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

10

always beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

11

For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;

12

that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.

13

But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.

14

I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:

15

so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings to you also who [are] in Rome.

16

For I am not ashamed of the glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:

17

for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

18

For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

19

Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,

20

-- for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -- so as to render them inexcusable.

21

Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

22

professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.

24

Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:

25

who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26

For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature;

27

and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

28

And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

29

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

30

back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31

void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;

32

who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].

Romans 2

1

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2

But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

3

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that *thou* shalt escape the judgment of God?

4

or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

5

but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,

6

who shall render to each according to his works:

7

to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal.

8

But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,

9

tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

10

but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

11

for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

12

For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law,

13

(for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14

For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

15

who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves;)

16

in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

17

But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

18

and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19

and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,

20

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

21

thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

22

thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23

thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

24

For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

25

For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

26

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

27

and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?

28

For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

29

but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
