Romans 1
1 PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,
Paul a servant of Christ Jesus a called apostle set apart for [the] gospel of God,
2 (which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
which He promised beforehand through the prophets of Him in [the] Scriptures Holy
3 concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David,
concerning the Son of Him, who having come of [the] seed of David according to flesh,
4 and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit, ) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,
who having been declared Son of God in power according to [the] Spirit of holiness by resurrection [from the] dead, Jesus Christ the Lord of us,
5 by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;
through whom we have received grace and apostleship unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of the name of Him,
6 among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah; )
among whom are also you yourselves called of Jesus Christ;
7 to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.
To all those being in Rome beloved of God to [those] called saints: Grace to you and peace from God [the] Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
8 In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world.
First indeed I thank the God of mine through Jesus Christ (for *N(k)O*) all of you because the faith of you is being proclaimed in all the world;
9 And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.
Witness for me is God, whom I serve in the spirit of mine in the gospel of the Son of Him, how unceasingly mention of you I make always upon the prayers of mine
10 And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.
imploring, if somehow now at last I will succeed by the will of God to come to you;
11 For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established;
I long for to see you, that some I may impart gift to you spiritual to the strengthening of you,
12 and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me.
that now is to be encouraged together among you through the among one another faith of you both and of me.
13 And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,
Not I do want now you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you and was hindered until the present, that some fruit I may have also among you even as even among the other Gentiles.
14 Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him.
To Greeks both and to barbarians, to [the] wise both and to [the] foolish a debtor I am;
15 And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome.
Thus as to me myself [there is] readiness also to you who [are] in Rome to evangelise.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles.
Not for I am ashamed of the gospel (of the Christ; *K*) [the] power for of God it is unto salvation to everyone who is believing — to Jew both first and to Greek.
17 For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.
[The] righteousness for of God in it is revealed from faith to faith even as it has been written: And the righteous by faith will live.
18 For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity.
Is revealed for [the] wrath of God from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men the truth by unrighteousness suppressing,
19 Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in them.
because the known of God manifest is among them; God for to them has revealed [it].
20 For, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
The for invisible qualities of Him from [the] creation of [the] world by the things made being understood are clearly seen, the both eternal of Him power and divinity, for to be them without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 because they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened.
For having known God not as God they glorified [Him] or were thankful, but they became futile in the thinking of them, and was darkened the foolish of them heart;
22 And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.
Professing to be wise they became fools
23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth.
and they changed the glory of the immortal God into a likeness of an image of mortal man and birds and quadrupeds and creeping things.
24 For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.
Therefore (and *k*) gave up them God in the desires of the hearts of them to impurity to dishonor the bodies of them between (themselves, *N(k)O*)
25 And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn g165)
who changed the truth of God into the falsehood, and they reverenced and they served the created thing beyond the [One] having created [it], who is blessed to the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.
Because of this gave up them God to passions of dishonor; Even for females of them changed the natural use into that contrary to nature,
27 And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.
Likewise then also the males having left the natural use of the female were inflamed in the desire of them toward one another, males with males the shame working out, and the recompense which was fitting of the error of them in themselves receiving.
28 And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,
And even as not they did see fit God to have in [their] knowledge, gave up them God to a depraved mind to do the [things] not being proper,
29 being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations,
filled with all unrighteousness (sexual immorality *K*) wickedness, covetousness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness, gossips
30 and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,
slanderers, hateful to God, insolent arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, to parents disobedient,
31 and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion.
foolish, untrustworthy, heartless (implacable, *K*) unmerciful,
32 These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.
who the righteous decree of God having known that those such things doing worthy of death are, not only them they are practicing but also they are approving of those practicing [them].
