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 an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,

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

which He proclaimed beforehand through 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, having been born 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,

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

through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name:

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

among whom ye are also 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 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 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;

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 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, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;

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

praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to 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, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;

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

but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.

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.

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

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise:

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

so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

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 also 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 righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live 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 unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

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 has revealed it to 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 seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are 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, 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 Professing to be wise they became fools

Saying that they were 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 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 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)

Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their 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 worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: 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,

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 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.

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

being filled with all injustice, wickedness, vice, covetousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceitfulness, evil affection;

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

whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents,

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

covenant-breakers, incontinent, without natural affections, unmerciful,

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, 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.
