Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

παυλοσ δουλοσ ιησου χριστου κλητοσ αποστολοσ αφωρισμενοσ εισ ευαγγελιον θεου

2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαισ αγιαισ

3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα σαρκα

4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the 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 whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εισ υπακοην πιστεωσ εν πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματοσ αυτου

6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

εν οισ εστε και υμεισ κλητοι ιησου χριστου

7 to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace 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 proclaimed 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 witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention 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, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by 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, 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, both yours and mine.

τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια τησ εν αλληλοισ πιστεωσ υμων τε και εμου

13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.

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 have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροισ σοφοισ τε και ανοητοισ οφειλετησ ειμι

15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

ουτωσ το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοισ εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for 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 in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But 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 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων

19 because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοισ ο γαρ θεοσ αυτοισ εφανερωσεν

20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they 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 Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

διοτι γνοντεσ τον θεον ουχ ωσ θεον εδοξασαν η ευχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοισ διαλογισμοισ αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετοσ αυτων καρδια

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

φασκοντεσ ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν

23 and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονοσ φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων

24 Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

διο και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εν ταισ επιθυμιαισ των καρδιων αυτων εισ ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν εαυτοισ

25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ παθη ατιμιασ αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εισ την παρα φυσιν

27 Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of 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 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

και καθωσ ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

πεπληρωμενουσ παση αδικια πορνεια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστουσ φθονου φονου εριδοσ δολου κακοηθειασ ψιθυριστασ

30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

καταλαλουσ θεοστυγεισ υβριστασ υπερηφανουσ αλαζονασ εφευρετασ κακων γονευσιν απειθεισ

31 foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

ασυνετουσ ασυνθετουσ αστοργουσ ασπονδουσ ανελεημονασ

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, 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
