Through dia him hos we have received lambanō grace charis and kai apostleship apostolē to eis bring about the obedience hypakoē of faith pistis among en all pas the ho nations ethnos on hyper behalf of · ho his autos name onoma, among en whom hos are eimi you hymeis also kai, called klētos to belong to Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. To all pas who ho are eimi in en Rome Rhōmē, loved agapētos by God theos and called klētos to be saints hagios: Grace charis to you hymeis and kai peace eirēnē from apo God theos our hēmeis Father patēr and kai the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.

First prōton of all , I thank eucharisteō · ho my egō God theos through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos for peri all pas of you hymeis, because hoti · ho your hymeis faith pistis is being proclaimed katangellō throughout en the ho whole holos world kosmos. For gar God theos is eimi my egō witness martys, · ho whom hos I serve latreuō with en · ho my egō spirit pneuma in en the ho gospel euangelion of ho his autos Son hyios, how hōs unceasingly adialeiptōs I make poieō mention mneia of you hymeis 10 always pantote in epi · ho my egō prayers proseuchē, asking deomai if ei perhaps pōs now ēdē at last pote I may be able euodoō, by en the ho will thelēma of ho God theos, to visit erchomai you hymeis. 11 For gar I long epipotheō to see you hymeis so hina that I may share metadidōmi with you hymeis some tis spiritual pneumatikos gift charisma to eis · ho strengthen stērizō you hymeis 12 that houtos · de is eimi, that we may be mutually encouraged symparakaleō by dia · ho each allēlōn other’ s faith pistis, I by yours hymeis and kai you by mine egō. 13 I do not ou want thelō · de you hymeis to be unaware agnoeō, brethren adelphos, that hoti I often pollakis intended protithēmi to come erchomai to pros you hymeis ( but kai have been prevented kōlyō until achri · ho now deuro) so hina that I might have echō some tis fruit karpos · kai among en you hymeis, just kathōs as · kai among en the ho rest loipos of the Gentiles ethnos. 14 I am eimi a debtor opheiletēs both te to the Greeks Hellēn and kai to the barbarians barbaros, to the wise sophos as well as kai to the foolish anoētos. 15 So houtōs for kata my egō part ho I am eager prothumos to preach the gospel euangelizō to you hymeis also kai who ho are in en Rome Rhōmē.

16 For gar I am not ou ashamed epaischunomai of the ho gospel euangelion; it is eimi the power dynamis of God theos for eis salvation sōtēria to everyone pas who ho believes pisteuō, to the Jew Ioudaios first prōton and kai also to the Greek Hellēn. 17 For gar in en it autos the righteousness dikaiosynē of God theos is revealed apokalyptō from ek faith pistis to eis faith pistis; as kathōs it is written graphō, “ The ho · de righteous dikaios by ek faith pistis will live zaō.”

18 For gar the wrath orgē of God theos is being revealed apokalyptō from apo heaven ouranos against epi all pas ungodliness asebeia and kai the unrighteousness adikia of those anthrōpos who ho suppress katechō the ho truth alētheia by en their unrighteousness adikia, 19 because dioti what ho can be known gnōstos about · ho God theos is eimi plain phaneros to en them autos, for gar · ho God theos has revealed phaneroō it to them autos. 20 Ever since apo the creation ktisis of the world kosmos, · ho his autos invisible aoratos attributes , · ho that te is , his autos eternal aidios power dynamis and kai divine theiotēs nature , have been clearly seen kathoraō, being understood noeō through what ho has been made poiēma. So eis they autos are eimi without excuse anapologētos. 21 Even dioti though they knew ginōskō · ho God theos, they did doxazō not ou honor doxazō him as hōs God theos or ē give eucharisteō him thanks , but alla they became futile mataioō in en · ho their autos speculations dialogismos and kai · ho their autos foolish asynetos hearts kardia were darkened. 22 Professing phaskō to be eimi wise sophos, they became fools mōrainō, 23 and kai exchanged allassō the ho glory doxa of the ho incorruptible aphthartos God theos for en images eikōn resembling homoiōma corruptible phthartos man anthrōpos and kai birds peteinon and kai four-footed tetrapous animals and kai crawling herpeton creatures . 24 Therefore dio God theos gave paradidōmi them autos over · ho in en the ho lusts epithumia of ho their autos hearts kardia to eis impurity akatharsia, so that ho they dishonored atimazō · ho their autos bodies sōma among en themselves autos. 25 They hostis exchanged metallassō the ho truth alētheia of ho God theos for en a ho lie pseudos and kai worshiped sebazomai and kai served latreuō the ho creature ktisis rather para than the ho Creator ktizō, who hos is eimi blessed eulogētos for eis all ho time aiōn. Amen amēn. 26 For dia this houtos reason God theos gave paradidōmi them autos over · ho to eis degrading atimia passions pathos. · ho Their autos women thēlys exchanged metallassō the ho natural physikos sexual function chrēsis for eis one ho that is unnatural para physis, 27 and te likewise homoiōs the ho men arsēn also kai abandoned aphiēmi the ho natural physikos sexual relation chrēsis with ho women thēlys and burned ekkaiō in en · ho their autos passion orexis for eis one allēlōn another men arsēn with en men arsēn committing katergazomai · ho shameless aschēmosynē acts and kai receiving apolambanō in en themselves heautou the ho due dei penalty antimisthia for ho their autos error planē. 28 And kai as kathōs they did not ou see dokimazō fit to acknowledge echō · ho God theos, God theos gave paradidōmi them autos over · ho to eis a debased adokimos mind nous, to do poieō things ho that ought not to be done kathēkō. 29 They are filled plēroō with every pas kind of unrighteousness adikia, wickedness ponēria, covetousness pleonexia, malice kakia. They are full mestos of envy phthonos, murder phonos, strife eris, deceit dolos, meanness kakoētheia. They are gossips psithuristēs, 30 slanderers katalalos, haters theostygēs of God , insolent hybristēs, arrogant hyperēphanos, boastful alazōn, inventors epheuretēs of evil kakos, disobedient apeithēs to parents goneus, 31 foolish asynetos, covenant-breakers asynthetos, unloving astorgos, ruthless aneleēmōn. 32 Though epiginōskō they hostis understand epiginōskō the ho righteous dikaiōma requirement of ho God theos, that hoti those ho who practice prassō · ho such toioutos things are eimi worthy axios of death thanatos, they poieō not ou only monon continue to do poieō them autos but alla also kai to heartily syneudokeō approve of others ho who practice prassō them.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring[a] of David according to the flesh, who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake; among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ; to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; 12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. 17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”Habakkuk 2:4 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. 21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves; 25 who exchanged the truth of God for a 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 vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. 28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
