Romans 1

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

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

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

Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,

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

Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,

4 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,

Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;

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

By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;

6 among whom are also you yourselves called of Jesus Christ;

Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 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.

To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 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;

First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.

9 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

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;

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

Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.

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

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:

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

That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.

13 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.

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

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

To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;

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

So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

16 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.

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 to the Greek.

17 [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.

For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.

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

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:

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

Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.

20 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)

For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. (aïdios g126)

21 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;

Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing to be wise they became fools

For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

23 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.

And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.

24 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)

Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.

25 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)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 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,

For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.

27 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.

And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

28 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,

And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;

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

Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,

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

Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.

32 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].

Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
