< Romans 1 >
1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
παυλοσ δουλοσ ιησου χριστου κλητοσ αποστολοσ αφωρισμενοσ εισ ευαγγελιον θεου
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαισ αγιαισ
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα σαρκα
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
του ορισθεντοσ υιου θεου εν δυναμει κατα πνευμα αγιωσυνησ εξ αναστασεωσ νεκρων ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εισ υπακοην πιστεωσ εν πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματοσ αυτου
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
εν οισ εστε και υμεισ κλητοι ιησου χριστου
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.
πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ρωμη αγαπητοισ θεου κλητοισ αγιοισ χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole 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 witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention 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 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.
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, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
επιποθω γαρ ιδειν υμασ ινα τι μεταδω χαρισμα υμιν πνευματικον εισ το στηριχθηναι υμασ
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια τησ εν αλληλοισ πιστεωσ υμων τε και εμου
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.
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 detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροισ σοφοισ τε και ανοητοισ οφειλετησ ειμι
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
ουτωσ το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοισ εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι
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.
ου γαρ επαισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου δυναμισ γαρ θεου εστιν εισ σωτηριαν παντι τω πιστευοντι ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και ελληνι
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue 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 reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοισ ο γαρ θεοσ αυτοισ εφανερωσεν
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 )
τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεωσ κοσμου τοισ ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιοσ αυτου δυναμισ και θειοτησ εισ το ειναι αυτουσ αναπολογητουσ (aïdios )
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.
διοτι γνοντεσ τον θεον ουχ ωσ θεον εδοξασαν η ευχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοισ διαλογισμοισ αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετοσ αυτων καρδια
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
φασκοντεσ ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν
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.
και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονοσ φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
διο και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εν ταισ επιθυμιαισ των καρδιων αυτων εισ ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν εαυτοισ
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 )
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 )
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.
δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ παθη ατιμιασ αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εισ την παρα φυσιν
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.
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 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,
και καθωσ ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα
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,
πεπληρωμενουσ παση αδικια πορνεια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστουσ φθονου φονου εριδοσ δολου κακοηθειασ ψιθυριστασ
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
καταλαλουσ θεοστυγεισ υβριστασ υπερηφανουσ αλαζονασ εφευρετασ κακων γονευσιν απειθεισ
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
ασυνετουσ ασυνθετουσ αστοργουσ ασπονδουσ ανελεημονασ
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.
οιτινεσ το δικαιωμα του θεου επιγνοντεσ οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντεσ αξιοι θανατου εισιν ου μονον αυτα ποιουσιν αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν τοισ πρασσουσιν
