Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
耶稣基督的仆人保罗，奉召为使徒，特派传 神的福音。
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
这福音是 神从前借众先知在圣经上所应许的，
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
论到他儿子—我主耶稣基督。按肉体说，是从大卫后裔生的；
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
按圣善的灵说，因从死里复活，以大能显明是 神的儿子。
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
我们从他受了恩惠并使徒的职分，在万国之中叫人为他的名信服真道；
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
其中也有你们这蒙召属耶稣基督的人。
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
我写信给你们在罗马、为 神所爱、奉召作圣徒的众人。愿恩惠、平安从我们的父 神并主耶稣基督归与你们！
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
第一，我靠着耶稣基督，为你们众人感谢我的 神，因你们的信德传遍了天下。
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
我在他儿子福音上，用心灵所事奉的 神可以见证，我怎样不住地提到你们；
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
在祷告之间常常恳求，或者照 神的旨意，终能得平坦的道路往你们那里去。
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
因为我切切地想见你们，要把些属灵的恩赐分给你们，使你们可以坚固；
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
这样，我在你们中间，因你与我彼此的信心，就可以同得安慰。
13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次定意往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样；只是到如今仍有阻隔。
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
无论是希腊人、化外人、聪明人、愚拙人，我都欠他们的债，
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
所以情愿尽我的力量，将福音也传给你们在罗马的人。
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
我不以福音为耻；这福音本是 神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是犹太人，后是希腊人。
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
因为 神的义正在这福音上显明出来；这义是本于信，以至于信。如经上所记：“义人必因信得生。”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
原来， 神的忿怒从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上，就是那些行不义阻挡真理的人。
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
神的事情，人所能知道的，原显明在人心里，因为 神已经给他们显明。
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting (aïdios g126) power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
自从造天地以来， 神的永能和神性是明明可知的，虽是眼不能见，但借着所造之物就可以晓得，叫人无可推诿。 (aïdios g126)
21 Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, and did not give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
因为，他们虽然知道 神，却不当作 神荣耀他，也不感谢他。他们的思念变为虚妄，无知的心就昏暗了。
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
自称为聪明，反成了愚拙，
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
将不能朽坏之 神的荣耀变为偶像，仿佛必朽坏的人和飞禽、走兽、昆虫的样式。
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
所以， 神任凭他们逞着心里的情欲行污秽的事，以致彼此玷辱自己的身体。
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
他们将 神的真实变为虚谎，去敬拜事奉受造之物，不敬奉那造物的主—主乃是可称颂的，直到永远。阿们！ (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
因此， 神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲。他们的女人把顺性的用处变为逆性的用处；
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
男人也是如此，弃了女人顺性的用处，欲火攻心，彼此贪恋，男和男行可羞耻的事，就在自己身上受这妄为当得的报应。
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
他们既然故意不认识 神， 神就任凭他们存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
装满了各样不义、邪恶、贪婪、恶毒；满心是嫉妒、凶杀、争竞、诡诈、毒恨；
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
又是谗毁的、背后说人的、怨恨 神的、侮慢人的、狂傲的、自夸的、捏造恶事的、违背父母的、
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
无知的、背约的、无亲情的、不怜悯人的。
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
他们虽知道 神判定行这样事的人是当死的，然而他们不但自己去行，还喜欢别人去行。
