Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God,
παυλοσ δουλοσ ιησου χριστου κλητοσ αποστολοσ αφωρισμενοσ εισ ευαγγελιον θεου
2 which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures,
ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαισ αγιαισ
3 about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh,
περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα σαρκα
4 the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ,
του ορισθεντοσ υιου θεου εν δυναμει κατα πνευμα αγιωσυνησ εξ αναστασεωσ νεκρων ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles,
δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εισ υπακοην πιστεωσ εν πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματοσ αυτου
6 from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:
εν οισ εστε και υμεισ κλητοι ιησου χριστου
7 To all who are at Rome, the beloved of God, called as saints. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from 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 Certainly, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, first for all of you, because your faith is being announced throughout the entire world.
πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τω θεω μου δια ιησου χριστου υπερ παντων υμων οτι η πιστισ υμων καταγγελλεται εν ολω τω κοσμω
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit by the Gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I have kept a remembrance of 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 always in my prayers, pleading that in some way, at some time, I may have a prosperous journey, within the will of God, to come 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 a certain spiritual grace to strengthen you,
επιποθω γαρ ιδειν υμασ ινα τι μεταδω χαρισμα υμιν πνευματικον εισ το στηριχθηναι υμασ
12 specifically, to be consoled together with you through that which is mutual: your faith and mine.
τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια τησ εν αλληλοισ πιστεωσ υμων τε και εμου
13 But I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you, (though I have been hindered even to the present time) so that I might obtain some fruit among you also, just as also 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 To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.
ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροισ σοφοισ τε και ανοητοισ οφειλετησ ειμι
15 So within me there is a prompting to evangelize to you also who are at Rome.
ουτωσ το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοισ εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and 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 justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”
δικαιοσυνη γαρ θεου εν αυτω αποκαλυπτεται εκ πιστεωσ εισ πιστιν καθωσ γεγραπται ο δε δικαιοσ εκ πιστεωσ ζησεται
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven over every impiety and injustice among those men who fend off the truth of God with injustice.
αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
19 For what is known about God is manifest in them. For God has manifested it to them.
διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοισ ο γαρ θεοσ αυτοισ εφανερωσεν
20 For unseen things about him have been made conspicuous, since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that were made; likewise his everlasting virtue and divinity, so much so that they have no 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 had known God, they did not glorify God, nor give thanks. Instead, they became weakened in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was obscured.
διοτι γνοντεσ τον θεον ουχ ωσ θεον εδοξασαν η ευχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοισ διαλογισμοισ αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετοσ αυτων καρδια
22 For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish.
φασκοντεσ ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν
23 And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents.
και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονοσ φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων
24 For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves.
διο και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εν ταισ επιθυμιαισ των καρδιων αυτων εισ ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν εαυτοισ
25 And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. 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 Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.
δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ παθη ατιμιασ αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εισ την παρα φυσιν
27 And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from 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 And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:
και καθωσ ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα
29 having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping;
πεπληρωμενουσ παση αδικια πορνεια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστουσ φθονου φονου εριδοσ δολου κακοηθειασ ψιθυριστασ
30 slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,
καταλαλουσ θεοστυγεισ υβριστασ υπερηφανουσ αλαζονασ εφευρετασ κακων γονευσιν απειθεισ
31 foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
ασυνετουσ ασυνθετουσ αστοργουσ ασπονδουσ ανελεημονασ
32 And these, though they had known the justice of God, did not understand that those who act in such a manner are deserving of death, and not only those who do these things, but also those who consent to what is done.
οιτινεσ το δικαιωμα του θεου επιγνοντεσ οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντεσ αξιοι θανατου εισιν ου μονον αυτα ποιουσιν αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν τοισ πρασσουσιν
