Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—

Paul a servant of Christ Jesus a called apostle set apart for [the] gospel of God,

2 Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—

which He promised beforehand through the prophets of Him in [the] Scriptures Holy

3 Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,

concerning the Son of Him, who having come of [the] seed of David according to flesh,

4 Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead, —Jesus Christ our Lord;

who having been declared Son of God in power according to [the] Spirit of holiness by resurrection [from the] dead, Jesus Christ the Lord of us,

5 Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,

through whom we have received grace and apostleship unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of the name of Him,

6 Among whom are, ye also, called of Jesus Christ:

among whom are also you yourselves called of Jesus Christ;

7 Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

To all those being in Rome beloved of God to [those] called saints: Grace to you and peace from God [the] Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.

First indeed I thank the God of mine through Jesus Christ (for *N+kO) all of you because the faith of you is being proclaimed in all the world;

9 For God is, my witness, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making mention of you

Witness for me is God, whom I serve in the spirit of mine in the gospel of the Son of Him, how unceasingly mention of you I make always upon the prayers of mine

10 At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;

imploring, if somehow now at last I will succeed by the will of God to come to you;

11 For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —

I long for to see you, that some I may impart gift to you spiritual to the strengthening of you,

12 That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

that now is to be encouraged together among you through the among one another faith of you both and of me.

13 I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,

Not I do want now you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you and was hindered until the present, that some fruit I may have also among you even as even among the other Gentiles.

14 Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:

To Greeks both and to barbarians, to [the] wise both and to [the] foolish a debtor I am;

15 Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.

Thus as to me myself [there is] readiness also to you who [are] in Rome to evangelise.

16 For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;

Not for I am ashamed of the gospel (of the Christ; *K) [the] power for of God it is unto salvation to everyone who is believing — to Jew both first and to Greek.

17 For, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.

[The] righteousness for of God in it is revealed from faith to faith even as it has been written: And the righteous by faith will live.

18 For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —

Is revealed for [the] wrath of God from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men the truth by unrighteousness suppressing,

19 Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —

because the known of God manifest is among them; God for to them has revealed [it].

20 For, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should be without excuse; (aïdios g126)

The for invisible qualities of Him from [the] creation of [the] world by the things made being understood are clearly seen, the both eternal of Him power and divinity, for to be them without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,

For having known God not as God they glorified [Him] or were thankful, but they became futile in the thinking of them, and was darkened the foolish of them heart;

22 Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,

Professing to be wise they became fools

23 And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:

and they changed the glory of the immortal God into a likeness of an image of mortal man and birds and quadrupeds and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —

Therefore (and *k) gave up them God in the desires of the hearts of them to impurity to dishonor the bodies of them between (themselves, *N+kO)

25 Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)

who changed the truth of God into the falsehood, and they reverenced and they served the created thing beyond the [One] having created [it], who is blessed to the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —

Because of this gave up them God to passions of dishonor; Even for females of them changed the natural use into that contrary to nature,

27 In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —

Likewise then also the males having left the natural use of the female were inflamed in the desire of them toward one another, males with males the shame working out, and the recompense which was fitting of the error of them in themselves receiving.

28 And, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,

And even as not they did see fit God to have in [their] knowledge, gave up them God to a depraved mind to do the [things] not being proper,

29 Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,

filled with all unrighteousness (sexual immorality *K) wickedness, covetousness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness, gossips

30 Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,

slanderers, hateful to God, insolent arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, to parents disobedient,

31 Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —

foolish, untrustworthy, heartless (implacable, *K) unmerciful,

32 Who, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].

who the righteous decree of God having known that those such things doing worthy of death are, not only them they are practicing but also they are approving of those practicing [them].
