Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha,

2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

which from of old he had promised by the hand of the prophets, in the holy writings,

3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David,

4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

and is known (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

by whom we have received grace and apostleship among all nations, that they should become obedient unto the faith of his name:

6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

and you also are of them, called in Jeshu Meshiha:

7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

To all who are in Ruma, beloved of Aloha, called and saints; peace and grace be with you from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.

First, I praise my God through Jeshu Meshiha on behalf of you all, that your faith is heard (of) in all the world.

9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

For a witness unto me is Aloha, whom I serve in the spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing at all time I remember you in my prayers.

10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

And I pray that from now there may be opened unto me the way, by the will of Aloha, to come to you.

11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

For I greatly desire to see you, and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit,

12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

that thereby you may be established, and that together we may be comforted by your faith and mine.

13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

BUT I will that you know, my brethren, that many times I have willed to come to you, and have been hindered until this;

14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

that among you also I may have fruit as among the rest of the nations of the Javnoyee and Barbaroyee, the wise and the foolish,

15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

because to every man am I obligated to preach; and so am I urged to evangelize unto you also who are in Ruma.

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:

17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

for the righteousness of Aloha in it is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, The righteous by faith shall live.

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

For the wrath of Aloha is revealed from heaven against all the unrighteousness and depravity of the sons of men, who the truth in unrighteousness detain.

19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

Because the knowledge of Aloha is revealed in them; for Aloha revealed it in them.

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

For the occult things of Aloha from the foundations of the world, unto his creatures by intelligence are apparent, and his power and his Godhead eternal, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

For when they knew Aloha, they did not as Aloha glorify him and praise him, but became vain in their imaginations, and their heart was darkened, that they understood not.

22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,

And while thinking in themselves that they were wise, they were fools.

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

And they changed the glory of Aloha the Incorruptible into the likeness of the image of corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and of four-footed (beasts) and of reptiles of the earth.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

Because of this Aloha delivered them up to the unclean lusts of their hearts, that they would debase their bodies among them.

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)

And they changed the truth of Aloha into a lie, and worshipped and served the creatures rather than their Creator, to whom be praises and blessings for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

WHEREFORE Aloha delivered them up to passions of vileness: for their females changed the use of their nature, and to what is not natural were used.

27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

And also their males likewise left the natural use of their females, and were inflamed with concupiscence one with another, and male with male wrought shamefulness, and the just retribution for their perverseness in themselves received.

28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

And as they did not decide in themselves to know Aloha, so did Aloha cause them to be delivered up to a mind of vainness, and to do what is not fit;

29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

being filled with all wickedness, and uncleanness, and rancour, and malice, and rapacity, and envy, and murder, and contention, and deceit, and evil imaginings, and murmurings,

30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.

and slanders, and hating of Aloha: vilifiers, inflated ones, boasters, inventors of evil things, mindless, disobedient to parents,

31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.

(men) to whom a compact is nothing, and (who) neither love peace nor (have) mercy in them; who,

32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.

knowing the judgment of Aloha, that they who these things do, unto death are condemned, (yet) not only do them, but also participate with those who do them.
