Romans 1
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
Paul a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
separated unto the gospel of God, (which He had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) concerning his Son,
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
who was of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ;
7 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.
to all that are in Rome beloved of God, called and holy: grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:
9 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
for God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10 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.
intreating if I may now at length have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established:
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
that is to say, that being among you we may be comforted together by the faith of each, both yours and mine.
13 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.
And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come unto you, (but have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
For I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the learned and the unlearned:
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
therefore am I ready, as much as in me lies, to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
16 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.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, both Jew and Greek:
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
for the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who withhold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
for what is to be known of God is manifest among them, for God hath manifested it to them.
20 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)
Inasmuch as from the first creation of the world, the invisible things of Him, even his eternal power and Godhead, are, if attended to, clearly seen in his works: (aïdios g126)
21 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.
so that they are inexcusable; because having thus known God they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but were infatuated by their own reasonings, and their heart being void of understanding was darkened.
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
Pretending to be wise they Became fools:
23 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.
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like to corruptible man, and birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
Wherefore God also gave them up to impurity, in the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves;
25 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)
who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 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.
Therefore God gave them up to infamous passions: for even their women changed the natural use into that which is unnatural,
27 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.
and the men likewise, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust to one another, men with men committing shame, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their error which they deserved.
28 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,
And as they were not careful to acknowledge God, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind to do things that were not fit to be done:
29 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,
being filled with all injustice, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malignity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and every evil habit; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
slanderers, haters of God, injurious, haughty, proud, inventers of mischief, undutiful to parents, void of understanding,
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful:
32 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.
who though they knew the just judgement of God, (that they who commit such practises are worthy of death) yet not only do these very things, but also countenance and encourage others in the practice of them.
