羅馬書 1
1 耶穌基督的僕人保羅，奉召為使徒，特派傳上帝的福音。
From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,
2 這福音是上帝從前藉眾先知在聖經上所應許的，
which through his prophets he promised beforetime, in holy writings;
3 論到他兒子－我主耶穌基督。按肉體說，是從大衛後裔生的；
this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David’s posterity in respect of his bodily nature,
4 按聖善的靈說，因從死裏復活，以大能顯明是上帝的兒子。
but was by his resurrection from the dead instated as Son of God, with power, in respect of his spirit of holiness.
5 我們從他受了恩惠並使徒的職分，在萬國之中叫人為他的名信服真道；
It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name’s sake;
6 其中也有你們這蒙召屬耶穌基督的人。
among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ’s.
7 我寫信給你們在羅馬、為上帝所愛、奉召作聖徒的眾人。願恩惠、平安從我們的父上帝並主耶穌基督歸與你們！
To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.
8 第一，我靠着耶穌基督，為你們眾人感謝我的上帝，因你們的信德傳遍了天下。
First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.
9 我在他兒子福音上，用心靈所事奉的上帝可以見證，我怎樣不住地提到你們；
God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,
10 在禱告之間常常懇求，或者照上帝的旨意，終能得平坦的道路往你們那裏去。
always entreating him that now at length, if such be his will, the way may be made clear for me to come to you.
11 因為我切切地想見你們，要把些屬靈的恩賜分給你們，使你們可以堅固；
For I am longing so to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;
12 這樣，我在你們中間，因你與我彼此的信心，就可以同得安慰。
that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the other’s faith, yours and mine.
13 弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道，我屢次定意往你們那裏去，要在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外邦人中一樣；只是到如今仍有阻隔。
I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you - though until now I have been hindered - so as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 無論是希臘人、化外人、聰明人、愚拙人，我都欠他們的債，
To Greeks and to barbarians, to the cultured and to the uncultured, I have a debt to discharge.
15 所以情願盡我的力量，將福音也傳給你們在羅馬的人。
So much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 我不以福音為恥；這福音本是上帝的大能，要救一切相信的，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。
FOR I AM PROUD OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS GOD’S SAVING POWER FOR EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES. FOR THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO FOR THE GENTILE.
17 因為上帝的義正在這福音上顯明出來；這義是本於信，以至於信。如經上所記：「義人必因信得生。」
FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.
18 原來，上帝的忿怒從天上顯明在一切不虔不義的人身上，就是那些行不義阻擋真理的人。
For God’s wrath is ever being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who smother the truth by their unrighteousness.
19 上帝的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裏，因為上帝已經給他們顯明。
This is so because that which may be known of God is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them.
For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 因為，他們雖然知道上帝，卻不當作上帝榮耀他，也不感謝他。他們的思念變為虛妄，無知的心就昏暗了。
For although they knew God, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 自稱為聰明，反成了愚拙，
While they professed to be wise, they became fools,
23 將不能朽壞之上帝的榮耀變為偶像，彷彿必朽壞的人和飛禽、走獸、昆蟲的樣式。
and exchanged the majesty of the imperishable God for an idol, graven in the likeness of perishable man, or of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
24 所以，上帝任憑他們逞着心裏的情慾行污穢的事，以致彼此玷辱自己的身體。
So God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their own bodies;
because they exchanged the truth of God for an untruth, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 因此，上帝任憑他們放縱可羞恥的情慾。他們的女人把順性的用處變為逆性的用處；
That is why God has given them up to passions of dishonor; for on the one hand their women actually changed the natural function of sex into that which is against nature;
27 男人也是如此，棄了女人順性的用處，慾火攻心，彼此貪戀，男和男行可羞恥的事，就在自己身上受這妄為當得的報應。
and on the other hand their men likewise abandoned the natural use of women, and were ablaze with passion for one another; men with men practising shameless acts and receiving in their own person that recompense of their wrong-doing which necessarily followed.
28 他們既然故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；
And just as they refused to continue to retain God in their knowledge, so did God cast them out to an outcast mind, to do those things which were indecent.
29 裝滿了各樣不義、邪惡、貪婪、惡毒；滿心是嫉妒、凶殺、爭競、詭詐、毒恨；
They were overflowing with every kind of iniquity, depravity, greed, and malice. They were full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and malignity.
30 又是讒毀的、背後說人的、怨恨上帝的、侮慢人的、狂傲的、自誇的、捏造惡事的、違背父母的、
They became whisperers, back-biters, hated of God, insolent, haughty, boastful. They invented sins. They were disobedient to parents.
31 無知的、背約的、無親情的、不憐憫人的。
They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.
32 他們雖知道上帝判定行這樣事的人是當死的，然而他們不但自己去行，還喜歡別人去行。
Though they knew well the ordinance of God, that those who practise such vices are worthy of death, they not only continue to do the same, but were even applauding those who practise vice.
