Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,
2 which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
(which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David,
4 who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,
and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit, ) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;
by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;
6 among whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ’s:
among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah; )
7 to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.
10 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.
And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established;
12 that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me.
13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.
And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.
And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles.
17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;
For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity.
19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.
Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in them.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: (aïdios g126)
For, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.
because they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth.
24 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:
For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.
25 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.
27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.
And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.
28 And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations,
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,
31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.
