Romani 1
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Salutări
1 Pavel, rob al lui Cristos Isus, chemat să fie apostol, pus deoparte pentru Evanghelia[a] lui Dumnezeu, 2 pe care El o promisese mai dinainte prin profeţii Săi în Sfintele Scripturi 3 şi care se referă la Fiul Său – născut din sămânţa lui David, în ce priveşte trupul, 4 iar în ce priveşte Duhul sfinţeniei, dovedit cu putere că este Fiul lui Dumnezeu[b], prin învierea dintre cei morţi – adică la Isus Cristos, Domnul nostru, 5 prin Care am primit harul şi apostolatul, ca să aducem, de dragul Numelui Său, la ascultarea credinţei pe toate neamurile, 6 între care sunteţi şi voi, cei chemaţi să fiţi ai lui Isus Cristos. 7 Deci, tuturor celor care sunt preaiubiţi ai lui Dumnezeu în Roma, chemaţi să fie sfinţi: har şi pace de la Dumnezeu, Tatăl nostru, şi de la Domnul Isus Cristos!
Dorinţa lui Pavel de a vizita Roma
8 Mai întâi, Îi mulţumesc Dumnezeului meu, prin Isus Cristos, pentru voi toţi, întrucât credinţa voastră este vestită în întreaga lume. 9 Căci Dumnezeu, Căruia Îi slujesc în duhul meu, în Evanghelia Fiului Său, îmi este martor că îmi aduc aminte neîncetat de voi, 10 cerând întotdeauna în rugăciunile mele ca, cel puţin acum, prin voia lui Dumnezeu, să reuşesc să vin la voi. 11 Căci tânjesc să vă văd, ca să vă fac parte de vreun dar duhovnicesc spre întărirea voastră, 12 pentru ca atât voi, cât şi eu, să fim încurajaţi în acelaşi timp – voi prin credinţa mea, iar eu prin a voastră. 13 Nu vreau să nu ştiţi, fraţilor, că de multe ori mi-am propus să vin la voi, ca să am şi printre voi vreun rod, tot aşa cum am şi printre celelalte neamuri, dar până acum am fost împiedicat. 14 Eu sunt dator atât grecilor, cât şi barbarilor[c], atât celor înţelepţi, cât şi celor neştiutori, 15 astfel că, în ce mă priveşte pe mine, sunt dornic să vă predic Evanghelia şi vouă, celor din Roma.
Puterea Evangheliei
16 Căci mie nu mi-e ruşine de Evanghelie, fiindcă ea este puterea lui Dumnezeu pentru mântuirea fiecăruia care crede – întâi a iudeului, apoi a grecului –, 17 deoarece în ea este descoperită o dreptate oferită de Dumnezeu, care vine din credinţă şi care duce la credinţă[d], aşa cum este scris: „Cel drept va trăi prin credinţă.“[e]
Mânia lui Dumnezeu împotriva nedreptăţii
18 Căci mânia lui Dumnezeu se descoperă din cer împotriva oricărei lipse de evlavie şi împotriva oricărei nedreptăţi a oamenilor, care înăbuşă adevărul în nedreptate. 19 Fiindcă ce se poate cunoaşte despre Dumnezeu le este descoperit în ei, căci Dumnezeu le-a arătat. 20 De la crearea lumii, însuşirile Lui invizibile – puterea Lui veşnică şi dumnezeirea Lui – au fost percepute clar, fiind înţelese din ceea ce a fost creat, pentru ca ei să fie fără scuză, 21 fiindcă, deşi L-au cunoscut pe Dumnezeu, ei nu L-au slăvit ca Dumnezeu şi nici nu I-au mulţumit, şi astfel gândirea lor a devenit fără folos, iar mintea lor nesăbuită s-a întunecat. 22 Pretinzând că sunt înţelepţi, au înnebunit 23 şi au schimbat slava Dumnezeului nemuritor într-o imagine făcută după asemănarea omului muritor, a păsărilor, a patrupedelor şi a animalelor care se târăsc[f].
24 De aceea, Dumnezeu i-a lăsat pradă necurăţiei, ca să urmeze poftele inimilor lor, dezonorându-şi astfel trupurile între ei. 25 Ei au schimbat adevărul lui Dumnezeu într-o minciună şi s-au închinat şi au slujit creaţiei în locul Creatorului, Care este binecuvântat în veci. Amin! 26 Din pricina aceasta, Dumnezeu i-a lăsat pradă viciilor ruşinoase, căci femeile lor au schimbat relaţiile intime naturale cu unele care sunt contrare naturii; 27 tot astfel şi bărbaţii, au părăsit relaţiile intime naturale cu femeile şi s-au aprins de poftă unii pentru alţii, săvârşind lucruri scârboase unii cu alţii şi primind astfel în ei înşişi răsplata pe care o meritau pentru rătăcirea lor. 28 Şi fiindcă n-au încuviinţat să-L aibă pe Dumnezeu în cunoaşterea lor, Dumnezeu i-a lăsat pradă minţii lor corupte, ca să facă lucruri ce nu se cuvin. 29 Sunt plini de orice fel de nedreptate, de nelegiuire, de lăcomie, de răutate; sunt plini de invidie, ucidere, ceartă, înşelătorie, sunt duşmănoşi, şoptitori, 30 bârfitori, Îl urăsc pe Dumnezeu, sunt obraznici, aroganţi, lăudăroşi, născocitori de rele, neascultători de părinţi, 31 necugetaţi, nu-şi ţin promisiunile, sunt fără afecţiune, nemiloşi. 32 Şi, deşi cunosc hotărârea lui Dumnezeu, potrivit căreia cei ce înfăptuiesc astfel de lucruri sunt vrednici de moarte, ei nu numai că le fac, ci îi şi încuviinţează pe cei ce le înfăptuiesc.

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.

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
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)a servant[a] of Christ Jesus, (B)called to be an apostle, (C)set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which (D)he promised beforehand (E)through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, (F)who was descended from David[b] (G)according to the flesh 4 and (H)was declared to be the Son of God (I)in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom (J)we have received grace and (K)apostleship (L)to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name (M)among all the nations, 6 including you who are (N)called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
(O)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Longing to Go to Rome
8 First, (P)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, (Q)because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 (R)For God is my witness, (S)whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, (T)that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow (U)by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For (V)I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged (W)by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[c] that (X)I have often intended to come to you (but (Y)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some (Z)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 (AA)I am under obligation both to Greeks and to (AB)barbarians,[d] both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
16 For (AC)I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is (AD)the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew (AE)first and also to (AF)the Greek. 17 For in it (AG)the righteousness of God is revealed (AH)from faith for faith,[e] (AI)as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”[f]
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For (AJ)the wrath of God (AK)is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be (AL)known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, (AM)have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they (AN)became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 (AO)Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and (AP)exchanged the glory of (AQ)the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore (AR)God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to (AS)the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for (AT)a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, (AU)who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason (AV)God gave them up to (AW)dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, (AX)men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, (AY)God gave them up to (AZ)a debased mind to do (BA)what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know (BB)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things (BC)deserve to die, they not only do them but (BD)give approval to those who practice them.
