8 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. 9 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 mē 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.

Greeting
1 From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for God’s good news. 2-3 God promised this good news about his Son ahead of time through his prophets in the holy scriptures. His Son was descended from David. 4 He was publicly identified as God’s Son with power through his resurrection from the dead, which was based on the Spirit of holiness. This Son is Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we have received God’s grace and our appointment to be apostles. This was to bring all Gentiles to faithful obedience for his name’s sake. 6 You who are called by Jesus Christ are also included among these Gentiles.
7 To those in Rome who are dearly loved by God and called to be God’s people.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving and Paul’s plans to visit
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the news about your faithfulness is being spread throughout the whole world. 9 I serve God in my spirit by preaching the good news about God’s Son, and God is my witness that I continually mention you 10 in all my prayers. I’m always asking that somehow, by God’s will, I might succeed in visiting you at last. 11 I really want to see you to pass along some spiritual gift to you so that you can be strengthened. 12 What I mean is that we can mutually encourage each other while I am with you. We can be encouraged by the faithfulness we find in each other, both your faithfulness and mine.
13 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that I planned to visit you many times, although I have been prevented from coming until now. I want to harvest some fruit among you, just as I have done among the other Gentiles. 14 I have a responsibility both to Greeks and to those who don’t speak Greek, both to the wise and to the foolish.
God’s righteousness is revealed
15 That’s why I’m ready to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. 16 I’m not ashamed of the gospel: it is God’s own power for salvation to all who have faith in God, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 God’s righteousness is being revealed in the gospel, from faithfulness[a] for faith,[b] as it is written, The righteous person will live by faith.[c]
Gentiles are without excuse
18 God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodly behavior and the injustice of human beings who silence the truth with injustice. 19 This is because what is known about God should be plain to them because God made it plain to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—God’s eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through the things God has made. So humans are without excuse. 21 Although they knew God, they didn’t honor God as God or thank him. Instead, their reasoning became pointless, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 While they were claiming to be wise, they made fools of themselves. 23 They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that look like mortal humans: birds, animals, and reptiles. 24 So God abandoned them to their hearts’ desires, which led to the moral corruption of degrading their own bodies with each other. 25 They traded God’s truth for a lie, and they worshipped and served the creation instead of the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 That’s why God abandoned them to degrading lust. Their females traded natural sexual relations for unnatural sexual relations. 27 Also, in the same way, the males traded natural sexual relations with females, and burned with lust for each other. Males performed shameful actions with males, and they were paid back with the penalty they deserved for their mistake in their own bodies. 28 Since they didn’t think it was worthwhile to acknowledge God, God abandoned them to a defective mind to do inappropriate things. 29 So they were filled with all injustice, wicked behavior, greed, and evil behavior. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deception, and malice. They are gossips, 30 they slander people, and they hate God. They are rude and proud, and they brag. They invent ways to be evil, and they are disobedient to their parents. 31 They are without understanding, disloyal, without affection, and without mercy. 32 Though they know God’s decision that those who persist in such practices deserve death, they not only keep doing these things but also approve others who practice them.
