Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and 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 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
(Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
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 declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
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 haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
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 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, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole 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 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 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming 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 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours 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.
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 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
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 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 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 by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
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 God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto 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 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 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.
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 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
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 God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
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)
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 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
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, 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 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 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.
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 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 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, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
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.
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.
