Romans 1

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

Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,

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

(Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)

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

Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid 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,

And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection 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 haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,

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

Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus 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 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.

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 thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout 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 witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

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

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.

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 might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:

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

That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours 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.

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.

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

I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.

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

Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye 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 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.

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 by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue 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 reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.

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

Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto 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 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)

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 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.

22 Professing to be wise they became fools

When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.

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.

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.

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 also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

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)

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)

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 gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that 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 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.

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,

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,

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

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,

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

Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,

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

without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.

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].

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.
