Romans 1:16

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
