G2532–καί–kai

among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

καὶ kai “also”

To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

καὶ kai “and”

And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile n

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “even”

I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

καὶ kai “also”

For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

καὶ kai “and”

For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

καὶ kai “and”

For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse.

καὶ kai “and”

For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

καὶ kai “and”

and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

καὶ kai “and”

For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

Καὶ Kai “And”

In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.

καὶ kai “also”

And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs--do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges?

καὶ kai “and”

Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

coming upon the soul of every man and woman who deliberately does wrong--upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and also”

whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right--to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their inno
