Romans 1
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures,
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
concerning his Son, having been born of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord:
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name:
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
among whom ye are also called of Jesus Christ:
7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;
10 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.
praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.
13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.
But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles.
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise:
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.
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.
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them:
20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: (aïdios g126)
for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)
21 Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.
because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
Saying that they were wise, they became fools,
23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.
and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things.
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves:
25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)
who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.
On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.
likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved.
28 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,
And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;
29 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,
being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents,
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful,
32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.
who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.
