Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
παυλοσ δουλοσ ιησου χριστου κλητοσ αποστολοσ αφωρισμενοσ εισ ευαγγελιον θεου
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαισ αγιαισ
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα σαρκα
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.
του ορισθεντοσ υιου θεου εν δυναμει κατα πνευμα αγιωσυνησ εξ αναστασεωσ νεκρων ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
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.
δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εισ υπακοην πιστεωσ εν πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματοσ αυτου
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
εν οισ εστε και υμεισ κλητοι ιησου χριστου
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.
πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ρωμη αγαπητοισ θεου κλητοισ αγιοισ χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τω θεω μου δια ιησου χριστου υπερ παντων υμων οτι η πιστισ υμων καταγγελλεται εν ολω τω κοσμω
9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
μαρτυσ γαρ μου εστιν ο θεοσ ω λατρευω εν τω πνευματι μου εν τω ευαγγελιω του υιου αυτου ωσ αδιαλειπτωσ μνειαν υμων ποιουμαι
10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
παντοτε επι των προσευχων μου δεομενοσ ει πωσ ηδη ποτε ευοδωθησομαι εν τω θεληματι του θεου ελθειν προσ υμασ
11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
επιποθω γαρ ιδειν υμασ ινα τι μεταδω χαρισμα υμιν πνευματικον εισ το στηριχθηναι υμασ
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια τησ εν αλληλοισ πιστεωσ υμων τε και εμου
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.
ου θελω δε υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι πολλακισ προεθεμην ελθειν προσ υμασ και εκωλυθην αχρι του δευρο ινα τινα καρπον σχω και εν υμιν καθωσ και εν τοισ λοιποισ εθνεσιν
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροισ σοφοισ τε και ανοητοισ οφειλετησ ειμι
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
ουτωσ το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοισ εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι
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.
ου γαρ επαισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου δυναμισ γαρ θεου εστιν εισ σωτηριαν παντι τω πιστευοντι ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και ελληνι
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.”
δικαιοσυνη γαρ θεου εν αυτω αποκαλυπτεται εκ πιστεωσ εισ πιστιν καθωσ γεγραπται ο δε δικαιοσ εκ πιστεωσ ζησεται
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.
αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοισ ο γαρ θεοσ αυτοισ εφανερωσεν
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)
τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεωσ κοσμου τοισ ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιοσ αυτου δυναμισ και θειοτησ εισ το ειναι αυτουσ αναπολογητουσ (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.
διοτι γνοντεσ τον θεον ουχ ωσ θεον εδοξασαν η ευχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοισ διαλογισμοισ αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετοσ αυτων καρδια
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
φασκοντεσ ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονοσ φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
διο και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εν ταισ επιθυμιαισ των καρδιων αυτων εισ ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν εαυτοισ
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)
οιτινεσ μετηλλαξαν την αληθειαν του θεου εν τω ψευδει και εσεβασθησαν και ελατρευσαν τη κτισει παρα τον κτισαντα οσ εστιν ευλογητοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ αμην (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ παθη ατιμιασ αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εισ την παρα φυσιν
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.
ομοιωσ τε και οι αρρενεσ αφεντεσ την φυσικην χρησιν τησ θηλειασ εξεκαυθησαν εν τη ορεξει αυτων εισ αλληλουσ αρσενεσ εν αρσεσιν την ασχημοσυνην κατεργαζομενοι και την αντιμισθιαν ην εδει τησ πλανησ αυτων εν εαυτοισ απολαμβανοντεσ
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.
και καθωσ ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα
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,
πεπληρωμενουσ παση αδικια πορνεια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστουσ φθονου φονου εριδοσ δολου κακοηθειασ ψιθυριστασ
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
καταλαλουσ θεοστυγεισ υβριστασ υπερηφανουσ αλαζονασ εφευρετασ κακων γονευσιν απειθεισ
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
ασυνετουσ ασυνθετουσ αστοργουσ ασπονδουσ ανελεημονασ
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.
οιτινεσ το δικαιωμα του θεου επιγνοντεσ οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντεσ αξιοι θανατου εισιν ου μονον αυτα ποιουσιν αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν τοισ πρασσουσιν
