That is, I long to be mutually encouraged among you, through each other's faith, yours and mine.

Now I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, that I often intended to come to you, (but I was hindered until now), in order to have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

So, as for me, I am ready to proclaim the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and for the Greek.

For in it God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, as it has been written, “The righteous will live by faith.”
18 ataEva yE mAnavAH pApakarmmaNA satyatAM rundhanti tESAM sarvvasya durAcaraNasyAdharmmasya ca viruddhaM svargAd Izvarasya kOpaH prakAzatE|
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who through unrighteousness hold back the truth.
19 yata Izvaramadhi yadyad jnjEyaM tad IzvaraH svayaM tAn prati prakAzitavAn tasmAt tESAm agOcaraM nahi|
This is because that which is known about God is visible to them. For God has enlightened them.

For his invisible qualities, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

This is because, although they knew about God, they did not glorify him as God, nor did they give him thanks. Instead, they became foolish in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened.
22 tE svAn jnjAninO jnjAtvA jnjAnahInA abhavan
They claimed to be wise, but they became foolish.
23 anazvarasyEzvarasya gauravaM vihAya nazvaramanuSyapazupakSyurOgAmiprabhRtErAkRtiviziSTapratimAstairAzritAH|
They exchanged the glory of the imperishable God for the likenesses of an image of perishable man, of birds, of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things.

Therefore God gave them over to the lusts of their hearts for uncleanness, for their bodies to be dishonored among themselves.
25 iti hEtOrIzvarastAn kukriyAyAM samarpya nijanijakucintAbhilASAbhyAM svaM svaM zarIraM parasparam apamAnitaM karttum adadAt|
It is they who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and who worshiped and served the creation instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 IzvarENa tESu kvabhilASE samarpitESu tESAM yOSitaH svAbhAvikAcaraNam apahAya viparItakRtyE prAvarttanta;
Because of this, God gave them over to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged natural relations for those that were unnatural.

Likewise, the men also left their natural relations with women and burned in their lust for one another. These were men who committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the penalty they deserved for their error.
28 tE svESAM manaHsvIzvarAya sthAnaM dAtum anicchukAstatO hEtOrIzvarastAn prati duSTamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvanjca dattavAn|
Because they did not approve of having God in their awareness, he gave them up to a depraved mind, for them to do those things that are not proper.

They have been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and evil intentions. They are gossips,
30 karNEjapA apavAdina IzvaradvESakA hiMsakA ahagkAriNa AtmazlAghinaH kukarmmOtpAdakAH pitrOrAjnjAlagghakA
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventing ways of doing evil; they are disobedient to parents.
31 avicArakA niyamalagghinaH snEharahitA atidvESiNO nirdayAzca jAtAH|
They are senseless, faithless, heartless, and unmerciful.

They understand the regulations of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death. But not only do they do these things, they also approve of others who do them.
