Romans 1

1 Paul slave Christ Jesus called apostle to separate toward gospel God

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,

2 which to promise through/because of the/this/who prophet it/s/he in/on/among a writing holy

which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,

3 about the/this/who son it/s/he the/this/who to be out from seed: offspring David according to flesh

who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,

4 the/this/who to determine son God in/on/among power according to spirit/breath: spirit holiness out from resurrection dead Jesus Christ the/this/who lord: God me

but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 through/because of which to take grace and apostleship toward obedience faith in/on/among all the/this/who Gentiles above/for the/this/who name it/s/he

through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,

6 in/on/among which to be and you called Jesus Christ

among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

7 all the/this/who to be in/on/among Rome beloved God called holy: saint grace you and peace away from God father me and lord: God Jesus Christ

To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 first on the other hand to thank the/this/who God me through/because of Jesus Christ (about *N(k)O*) all you that/since: since the/this/who faith you to proclaim in/on/among all the/this/who world

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.

9 witness for me to be the/this/who God which to minister in/on/among the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit me in/on/among the/this/who gospel the/this/who son it/s/he as/when unceasingly remembrance you to do/make: do always upon/to/against the/this/who prayer me

I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

10 to pray if how already once/when to get along well in/on/among the/this/who will/desire the/this/who God to come/go to/with you

always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.

11 to long for for to perceive: see you in order that/to one to share gift you spiritual toward the/this/who to establish you

For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;

12 this/he/she/it then to be to encourage in/on/among you through/because of the/this/who in/on/among one another faith you and/both and I/we

in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.

13 no to will/desire then you be ignorant brother that/since: that often to plan/present to come/go to/with you and to prevent until the/this/who come in order that/to one fruit to have/be and in/on/among you as/just as and in/on/among the/this/who remaining Gentiles

And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.

14 Greek, Gentile and/both and barbarian wise and/both and foolish debtor to be

I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:

15 thus(-ly) the/this/who according to I/we eager and you the/this/who in/on/among Rome to speak good news

so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 no for be ashamed of the/this/who gospel (the/this/who Christ *K*) power for God to be toward salvation all the/this/who to trust (in) Jew and/both first and Greek, Gentile

For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.

17 righteousness for God in/on/among it/s/he to reveal out from faith toward faith as/just as to write the/this/who then just out from faith to live

For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

18 to reveal for wrath God away from heaven upon/to/against all ungodlinessness and unrighteousness a human the/this/who the/this/who truth in/on/among unrighteousness to hold back/fast

For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:

19 because the/this/who acquainted with the/this/who God clear to be in/on/among it/s/he the/this/who God for it/s/he to reveal

because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.

20 the/this/who for invisible it/s/he away from creation world the/this/who workmanship to understand to perceive the/this/who and/both eternal it/s/he power and divinity toward the/this/who to exist it/s/he inexcusable (aïdios g126)

For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 because to know the/this/who God no as/when God to glorify or to thank but to make futile in/on/among the/this/who reasoning it/s/he and to darken the/this/who senseless it/s/he heart

For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.

22 to claim to exist wise be foolish

While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,

23 and to change the/this/who glory the/this/who incorruptible God in/on/among likeness image perishable a human and bird and four-footed and reptile

and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.

24 therefore (and *k*) to deliver it/s/he the/this/who God in/on/among the/this/who desire the/this/who heart it/s/he toward impurity the/this/who to dishonor the/this/who body it/s/he in/on/among (it/s/he *N(k)O*)

For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.

25 who/which to exchange the/this/who truth the/this/who God in/on/among the/this/who lie and to worship and to minister the/this/who creation from/with/beside the/this/who to create which to be praiseworthy toward the/this/who an age: eternity amen (aiōn g165)

For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 through/because of this/he/she/it to deliver it/s/he the/this/who God toward passion dishonour the/this/who and/both for female it/s/he to exchange the/this/who natural use toward the/this/who from/with/beside nature

This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

27 similarly and/both and the/this/who male to release: permit the/this/who natural use the/this/who female be enflamed in/on/among the/this/who lust it/s/he toward one another male in/on/among male the/this/who indecency to workout/produce and the/this/who recompense which be necessary the/this/who error it/s/he in/on/among themself to get back

in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

28 and as/just as no to test the/this/who God to have/be in/on/among knowledge to deliver it/s/he the/this/who God toward failing mind to do/make: do the/this/who not be fit

And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.

29 to fulfill all unrighteousness (sexual sin *K*) evil greediness evil full envy murder quarrel deceit malice gossip

Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.

30 slanderous God-hating insolent man arrogant braggart inventor evil/harm: evil parent disobedient

They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,

31 senseless untrustworthy unfeeling (irreconcilable *K*) merciless

faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.

32 who/which the/this/who righteous act the/this/who God to come to know that/since: that the/this/who the/this/who such as this to do/require worthy death to be no alone it/s/he to do/make: do but and to agree to the/this/who to do/require

In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
