Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2 which he promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,

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

4 who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake:

7 To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎠᏉᎯᏳᏓᏁᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏥᏥᏯᏛᏁᎭ ᎠᏆᏓᏅᏙ ᏥᎬᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎬᏁᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏥᏲᎯᏍᏗᏍᎬᎾ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ.

10 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎢᎩᎧᎵᏍᏙᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏴ ᏂᎯᏃ ᎤᏠᏱ ᎢᎪᎯᏳᏒᎢ.

13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᎥᏝ ᎾᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾᏉ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏱᏨᏰᎵᏎᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏳᏩᎫᏗ ᏓᏇᎪᏔᏅ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᎦᏔᏔᏅᎯ ᏂᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎠᎩᎪᏩᏛᏗᏱ ᎠᎩᏰᎸᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᏓᏁᏩᏗᏒᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎪᎯ ᎢᏯᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏓᏄᎴᎭ.

14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

ᎬᎩᏚᎦ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎠᏂᎪᎢ ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᎾᏓᎴ ᏴᏫ, ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ.

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏱᎦᏕᎣᏍᎦ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏁᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᎿᎭᎠᎾᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎠᏃᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ; ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎢᎬᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏂᎪᎢ.

17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God by faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

ᎾᎿᎭᏰᏃ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏓᏚᏓᎴᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏛᏓᎴᎲᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏩᏍᏆᏗᏍᏗᏍᎩ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏂᎬᏅᎪᏪᎸᎢ, ᏚᏳᎪᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᎯ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏛᏂᏗᏍᏕᏍᏗ.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold down the truth in unrighteousness;

ᎤᎾᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᏔᎳᏬᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᏨᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎦ ᏥᏓᎦᏘᎴᎦ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏄᏂᎸᏉᏛᎾ ᎨᏒ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᏚᏳᎪᏛᎾ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏴᏫ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏣᏂᎾᎯᏍᏗᎭ ᎤᏲ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ;

19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: (aïdios g126)

ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏗᎬᎪᏩᏛᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏧᏤᎵᎦ ᎬᏂᎨᏒᎢᏳ ᏗᎬᎪᏩᏛᏗ ᎢᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏧᏙᏢᏅ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᏗᎦᎪᎵᏍᏙᏗ ᎢᎩ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏗᎪᏢᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏅᏧᏓᎴᏅᎲᎾ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏂᎭ ᏧᎾᏢᏫᏍᏙᏗ; (aïdios g126)

21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

ᎤᏂᎦᏙᎥᏒᏰᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏳᏂᎸᏉᏙᏔᏁᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏯᎾᎵᎮᎵᎨᎢ, ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏁᎫ ᏧᏂᎾᏫ ᏚᎵᏏᎲᏎᎢ;

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᎠᎾᏤᎸᏍᎬᎢ, ᎤᏂᏁᎫ ᏄᎾᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ;

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

ᎠᎴ ᎤᏂᏁᏟᏴᏎ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏲᎱᏍᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᏲᎱᏍᎩ ᏴᏫ ᏗᏟᎶᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏅᏁᎴᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᏍᏆ, ᎠᎴ ᏅᎩ ᏗᏂᏅᏌᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎾᏓᎾᏏᏂᏙᎯ.

24 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured among themselves:

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏕᎤᏲᏎ ᎦᏓᎭ ᏧᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᏅᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᏅᏒ ᏧᏂᎾᏫᏱ ᎤᎾᏑᎸᏅᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏧᏂᏐᏢᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏗᏂᏰᎸ ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᏂᏓᎾᏓᏛᏁᎲᎢ;

25 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏃᎮᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᏁᏟᏴᏍᏔᏁ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᎴ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᏛᏁᎴ ᎠᎪᏢᏅᎯᏉ ᎨᏒ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᏬᏢᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᏥᎩ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ. ᎡᎺᏅ. (aiōn g165)

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏕᎤᏲᏒᎩ ᎤᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗ ᎤᎾᏚᎸᏅᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᏉᏰᏃ ᎠᏂᎨᏴ ᏧᎾᏤᎵᎦ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎲ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏂᏁᏟᏴᏍᏔᏁ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎲ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.

27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᏚᏂᏲᏍᎨ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᎨᏴ ᎨᎦᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᏓᎾᏓᏕᎳᏲᏍᎨ ᎤᏅᏒᏉ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏓᎾᏓᏛᏗᏍᎨ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎮ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏕᎰᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᎵᏩᏛᎡᎮ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᎦᎫᏴᎡᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᎵᏓᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ.

28 And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they which practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
