羅馬書 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
問候與祝願
1 基督耶穌的僕人保羅，蒙召為使徒，奉派傳 神的福音。 2 這福音是 神從前藉眾先知，在聖經上所應許的。 3-4 論到他兒子—我主耶穌基督，按肉體說，是從大衛後裔生的；按神聖的靈說，因從死人中復活，用大能顯明他是 神的兒子。 5 我們從他蒙恩受了使徒的職分，為他的名在萬國中使人因信而順服， 6 其中也有你們這蒙召屬耶穌基督的人。 7 我寫信給你們在羅馬、為 神所愛、蒙召作聖徒的眾人。願恩惠、平安[a]從我們的父 神和主耶穌基督歸給你們！
保羅有意訪問羅馬
8 首先，我靠着耶穌基督，為你們眾人感謝我的 神，因你們的信德傳遍了天下。 9 我在他兒子的福音上，用心靈所事奉的 神可以見證，我怎樣不住地提到你們， 10 在我的禱告中常常懇求，或許照 神的旨意，最終我能毫無阻礙地往你們那裏去。 11 因為我迫切地想見你們，要把一些屬靈的恩賜分給你們，使你們得以堅固， 12 也可以說，我在你們中間，因你我彼此的信心而同得安慰。 13 弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道，我屢次計劃往你們那裏去，要在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外邦人中一樣，只是到如今仍有攔阻。 14 無論是希臘人、未開化的人、聰明人、愚拙人，我都欠他們的債， 15 所以願意盡我的力量把福音也傳給你們在羅馬的人。
福音是 神的大能
16 我不以福音為恥；這福音本是 神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。 17 因為 神的義正在這福音上顯明出來；這義是本於信，以至於信。如經上所記：「義人必因信得生。」
人類的罪惡
18 原來， 神的憤怒從天上顯明在一切不虔不義的人身上，就是那些行不義壓制真理的人。 19 神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裏，因為 神已經向他們顯明。 20 自從造天地以來， 神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖然眼不能見，但藉着所造之物就可以了解看見，叫人無可推諉。 21 因為，他們雖然知道 神，卻不把他當作 神榮耀他，也不感謝他。他們的思想變為虛妄，無知的心昏暗了。 22 他們自以為聰明，反成了愚昧， 23 將不能朽壞之 神的榮耀變為偶像，仿照必朽壞的人、飛禽、走獸、爬蟲的形像。
24 所以， 神任憑他們隨着心裏的情慾行污穢的事，以致彼此羞辱自己的身體。 25 他們將 神的真實變為虛謊，去敬拜事奉受造之物，不敬奉那造物的主—主是可稱頌的，直到永遠。阿們！
26 因此， 神任憑他們放縱可羞恥的情慾。他們的女人把自然的關係變成違反自然的； 27 男人也是如此，放棄了和女人自然的關係，慾火攻心，男的和男的彼此貪戀，行可恥的事，就在自己身上受這逆性行為當得的報應。
28 他們既然故意不認識 神， 神就任憑他們存扭曲的心，做那些不該做的事， 29 裝滿了各樣不義[b]、邪惡、貪婪、惡毒，滿心是嫉妒、兇殺、紛爭、詭詐、毒恨，又是毀謗的、 30 說人壞話的、怨恨 神的[c]、侮辱人的、狂傲的、自誇的、製造是非的、忤逆父母的、 31 頑梗不化的、言而無信的、無情無義的、不憐憫人的。 32 他們雖知道 神判定做這樣事的人是該死的，然而他們不但自己去做，還贊同別人去做。

问候
1 我是基督耶稣的奴仆保罗，蒙召做使徒，奉命传上帝的福音。 2 这福音是上帝从前借着众先知在圣经中应许的， 3 讲的是上帝的儿子——我们的主耶稣基督的事。从肉身来说，祂是大卫的后裔； 4 从圣洁的灵来看，祂从死里复活，用大能显明自己是上帝的儿子。 5 我们从祂领受了恩典并成为使徒，要带领万民信从祂，使祂的名得荣耀。 6 你们也是其中蒙召信从耶稣基督的人。 7 我问候所有住在罗马、上帝所爱、蒙召做圣徒的人。愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安！
保罗渴望去罗马
8 首先，我借着耶稣基督为各位感谢我的上帝，因为你们的信心正在传遍天下。 9-10 我在祂儿子的福音事工上全心事奉的上帝可以为我做见证：我如何在祷告中常常想到你们，并求上帝让我照祂的旨意最终能去你们那里。 11 因为我实在想见你们，好将一些属灵的恩赐分给你们，使你们坚固， 12 也可以说是借着我们彼此的信心互相激励。
13 弟兄姊妹，我希望你们知道，我曾多次计划去你们那里，要在你们中间收获一些福音的果子，像在其他外族人中一样，只是至今仍有拦阻。 14 不论是希腊人、非希腊人[a]、智者、愚人，我对他们都有义务。 15 所以，我也切望能将福音传给你们在罗马的人。
16 我不以福音为耻，因为这福音是上帝的大能，要拯救一切相信的人，先是犹太人，然后是希腊人。 17 这福音显明了上帝的义，这义始于信，终于信，正如圣经上说：“义人必靠信心而活。”
人类的罪恶
18 上帝的烈怒从天上降下，要惩罚一切心中无神、行为不义、压制真理的人。 19 有关上帝的事情，可以让人类知道的都已经显而易见，因为上帝已经向人类显明了。 20 自从创造天地以来，上帝永恒的大能和神性是明明可知的，虽然肉眼看不见，但透过受造之物就可以领悟，因而人类毫无借口推说不知。 21 他们虽然明知有上帝，却不把祂当作上帝，既不将荣耀归给祂，也不感谢祂。他们的思想因此变得荒谬无用，无知的心也变得昏暗不明。 22 他们自以为聪明，其实愚不可及， 23 以必朽的人、飞禽、走兽和爬虫的形象来取代永恒上帝的荣耀。
24 因此，上帝任凭他们随从内心的情欲行污秽的事，玷污彼此的身体。 25 他们把上帝的真理当作谎言，祭拜、供奉受造之物，却不敬拜、事奉造物主。主是永远值得称颂的。阿们！
26 因此，上帝任凭他们放纵可耻的情欲。女人放弃正常的两性关系，做出变态反常的事。 27 男人也背弃了和女人正常的两性关系，欲火焚烧，同性之间彼此贪恋，男人和男人做出羞耻不堪的事。他们必在自己的身体上遭受应得的报应。
28 既然他们故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们心思败坏，做不当做的事。 29 他们心里塞满了各种不义、邪恶、贪婪、阴险、嫉妒、凶杀、纷争、诡诈、恶毒；说长道短、 30 背后批评、怨恨上帝、欺侮别人、心骄气傲、自高自大、自我吹捧、无恶不作、违背父母、 31 愚钝无知、不守信用、无情无义、毫无怜悯。 32 他们明知，按上帝公义的法则，做这些事的人该死，不但执迷不悟，还喜欢别人跟他们同流合污。

Romans 1
King James Version
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 To all that be 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 spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey 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 may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, (A)called to be an apostle, (B)separated to the gospel of God 2 (C)which He promised before (D)through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who [a]was (E)born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and (F)declared to be the Son of God with power according (G)to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. 5 Through Him (H)we have received grace and apostleship for (I)obedience to the faith among all nations (J)for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7 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
8 First, (M)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that (N)your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 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.
