问候与祝愿

基督耶稣的仆人保罗,蒙召为使徒,奉派传 神的福音。 这福音是 神从前藉众先知,在圣经上所应许的。 3-4 论到他儿子—我主耶稣基督,按肉体说,是从大卫后裔生的;按神圣的灵说,因从死人中复活,用大能显明他是 神的儿子。 我们从他蒙恩受了使徒的职分,为他的名在万国中使人因信而顺服, 其中也有你们这蒙召属耶稣基督的人。 我写信给你们在罗马、为 神所爱、蒙召作圣徒的众人。愿恩惠、平安[a]从我们的父 神和主耶稣基督归给你们!

保罗有意访问罗马

首先,我靠着耶稣基督,为你们众人感谢我的 神,因你们的信德传遍了天下。 我在他儿子的福音上,用心灵所事奉的 神可以见证,我怎样不住地提到你们, 10 在我的祷告中常常恳求,或许照 神的旨意,最终我能毫无阻碍地往你们那里去。 11 因为我迫切地想见你们,要把一些属灵的恩赐分给你们,使你们得以坚固, 12 也可以说,我在你们中间,因你我彼此的信心而同得安慰。 13 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道,我屡次计划往你们那里去,要在你们中间得些果子,如同在其余的外邦人中一样,只是到如今仍有拦阻。 14 无论是希腊人、未开化的人、聪明人、愚拙人,我都欠他们的债, 15 所以愿意尽我的力量把福音也传给你们在罗马的人。

福音是 神的大能

16 我不以福音为耻;这福音本是 神的大能,要救一切相信的,先是犹太人,后是希腊人。 17 因为 神的义正在这福音上显明出来;这义是本于信,以至于信。如经上所记:“义人必因信得生。”

人类的罪恶

18 原来, 神的愤怒从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上,就是那些行不义压制真理的人。 19  神的事情,人所能知道的,原显明在人心里,因为 神已经向他们显明。 20 自从造天地以来, 神的永能和神性是明明可知的,虽然眼不能见,但藉着所造之物就可以了解看见,叫人无可推诿。 21 因为,他们虽然知道 神,却不把他当作 神荣耀他,也不感谢他。他们的思想变为虚妄,无知的心昏暗了。 22 他们自以为聪明,反成了愚昧, 23 将不能朽坏之 神的荣耀变为偶像,仿照必朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬虫的形像。

24 所以, 神任凭他们随着心里的情欲行污秽的事,以致彼此羞辱自己的身体。 25 他们将 神的真实变为虚谎,去敬拜事奉受造之物,不敬奉那造物的主—主是可称颂的,直到永远。阿们!

26 因此, 神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲。他们的女人把自然的关系变成违反自然的; 27 男人也是如此,放弃了和女人自然的关系,欲火攻心,男的和男的彼此贪恋,行可耻的事,就在自己身上受这逆性行为当得的报应。

28 他们既然故意不认识 神, 神就任凭他们存扭曲的心,做那些不该做的事, 29 装满了各样不义[b]、邪恶、贪婪、恶毒,满心是嫉妒、凶杀、纷争、诡诈、毒恨,又是毁谤的、 30 说人坏话的、怨恨 神的[c]、侮辱人的、狂傲的、自夸的、制造是非的、忤逆父母的、 31 顽梗不化的、言而无信的、无情无义的、不怜悯人的。 32 他们虽知道 神判定做这样事的人是该死的,然而他们不但自己去做,还赞同别人去做。

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle(A) and set apart(B) for the gospel of God(C) the gospel he promised beforehand(D) through his prophets(E) in the Holy Scriptures(F) regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life[a](G) was a descendant of David,(H) and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power[b](I) by his resurrection from the dead:(J) Jesus Christ our Lord.(K) Through him we received grace(L) and apostleship to call all the Gentiles(M) to the obedience that comes from[c] faith(N) for his name’s sake. And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.(O)

To all in Rome who are loved by God(P) and called to be his holy people:(Q)

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.(R)

Paul’s Longing to Visit Rome

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you,(S) because your faith is being reported all over the world.(T) God, whom I serve(U) in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness(V) how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times;(W) and I pray that now at last by God’s will(X) the way may be opened for me to come to you.(Y)

11 I long to see you(Z) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift(AA) to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13 I do not want you to be unaware,(AB) brothers and sisters,[d](AC) that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now)(AD) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 I am obligated(AE) both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.(AF)

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,(AG) because it is the power of God(AH) that brings salvation to everyone who believes:(AI) first to the Jew,(AJ) then to the Gentile.(AK) 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed(AL)—a righteousness that is by faith(AM) from first to last,[e] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[f](AN)

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity

18 The wrath of God(AO) is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.(AP) 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,(AQ) so that people are without excuse.(AR)

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.(AS) 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools(AT) 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images(AU) made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over(AV) in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.(AW) 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,(AX) and worshiped and served created things(AY) rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.(AZ) Amen.(BA)

26 Because of this, God gave them over(BB) to shameful lusts.(BC) Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.(BD) 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.(BE)

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over(BF) to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,(BG) 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;(BH) 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love,(BI) no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death,(BJ) they not only continue to do these very things but also approve(BK) of those who practice them.

Greeting

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, (A)called to be an apostle, (B)separated to the gospel of God (C)which He promised before (D)through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who [a]was (E)born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and (F)declared to be the Son of God with power according (G)to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him (H)we have received grace and apostleship for (I)obedience to the faith among all nations (J)for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;

To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, (K)called to be saints:

(L)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Desire to Visit Rome

First, (M)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that (N)your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For (O)God is my witness, (P)whom I serve [b]with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that (Q)without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that (R)I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by (S)the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but (T)was hindered until now), that I might have some (U)fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

The Just Live by Faith

16 For (V)I am not ashamed of the gospel [c]of Christ, for (W)it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, (X)for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For (Y)in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, (Z)“The just shall live by faith.”

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 (AA)For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and (AB)unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because (AC)what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for (AD)God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world (AE)His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but (AF)became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 (AG)Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the (AH)incorruptible (AI)God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 (AJ)Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, (AK)to dishonor their bodies (AL)among themselves, 25 who exchanged (AM)the truth of God (AN)for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to (AO)vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things (AP)which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, (AQ)knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things (AR)are deserving of death, not only do the same but also (AS)approve of those who practice them.
