1. From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.
|
1. Paul G3972 , a servant G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , called G2822 to be an apostle G652 , separated G873 unto G1519 the gospel G2098 of God G2316 ,
|
|
2. This gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
|
2. ( Which G3739 he had promised afore G4279 by G1223 his G848 prophets G4396 in G1722 the Holy G40 Scriptures G1124 ,)
|
|
3. concerning his Son who was a descendant of David with reference to the flesh,
|
3. Concerning G4012 his G848 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord G2962 , which G3588 was made G1096 of G1537 the seed G4690 of David G1138 according G2596 to the flesh G4561 ;
|
|
4. who was appointed the Son-of-God-in-power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
4. And declared G3724 to be the Son G5207 of God G2316 with G1722 power G1411 , according G2596 to the spirit G4151 of holiness G42 , by G1537 the resurrection G386 from the dead G3498 :
|
|
5. Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.
|
5. By G1223 whom G3739 we have received G2983 grace G5485 and G2532 apostleship G651 , for G1519 obedience G5218 to the faith G4102 among G1722 all G3956 nations G1484 , for G5228 his G848 name G3686 ;
|
|
6. You also are among them, called to belong to Jesus Christ.
|
6. Among G1722 whom G3739 are G2075 ye G5210 also G2532 the called G2822 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 :
|
|
7. To all those loved by God in Rome, called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
|
7. To all G3956 that be G5607 in G1722 Rome G4516 , beloved G27 of God G2316 , called G2822 to be saints G40 : Grace G5485 to you G5213 and G2532 peace G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father G3962 , and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
8. First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
|
8. First G4412 , I G3303 thank G2168 my G3450 God G2316 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 for G5228 you G5216 all G3956 , that G3754 your G5216 faith G4102 is spoken of G2605 G1722 throughout the G3588 whole G3650 world G2889 .
|
|
9. For God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness that I continually remember you
|
9. For G1063 God G2316 is G2076 my G3450 witness G3144 , whom G3739 I serve G3000 with G1722 my G3450 spirit G4151 in G1722 the G3588 gospel G2098 of his G848 Son G5207 , that G5613 without ceasing G89 I make G4160 mention G3417 of you G5216 always G3842 in G1909 my G3450 prayers G4335 ;
|
|
10. and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.
|
10. Making request G1189 , if by any means G1513 now G2235 at length G4218 I might have a prosperous journey G2137 by G1722 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 to come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 .
|
|
11. For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
|
11. For G1063 I long G1971 to see G1492 you G5209 , that G2443 I may impart G3330 unto you G5213 some G5100 spiritual G4152 gift G5486 , to the end ye G5209 may be established G4741 ;
|
|
12. that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another's faith, both yours and mine.
|
12. G1161 That G5124 is G2076 , that I may be comforted together G4837 with G1722 you G5213 by G1223 the G3588 mutual G1722 G240 faith G4102 both G5037 of you G5216 and G2532 me G1700 .
|
|
13. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.
|
13. Now G1161 I would G2309 not G3756 have you ignorant G50 G5209 , brethren G80 , that G3754 oftentimes G4178 I purposed G4388 to come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 , ( but G2532 was let G2967 hitherto G891 G1204 ,) that G2443 I might have G2192 some G5100 fruit G2590 among G1722 you G5213 also G2532 , even G2532 as G2531 among G1722 other G3062 Gentiles G1484 .
|
|
14. I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
|
14. I am G1510 debtor G3781 both G5037 to the Greeks G1672 , and G2532 to the Barbarians G915 ; both G5037 to the wise G4680 , and G2532 to the unwise G453 .
|
|
15. Thus I am eager also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.
|
15. So G3779 , as much as in me is G2596 G1691 , I am ready G4289 to preach the gospel G2097 to you G5213 that G3588 are at G1722 Rome G4516 also G2532 .
|
|
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
|
16. For G1063 I am not G3756 ashamed G1870 of the G3588 gospel G2098 of Christ G5547 : for G1063 it is G2076 the power G1411 of God G2316 unto G1519 salvation G4991 to every one G3956 that believeth G4100 ; to the Jew G2453 first G4412 , and G2532 also G5037 to the Greek G1672 .
|
|
17. For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, "The righteous by faith will live."
|
17. For G1063 therein G1722 G846 is the righteousness G1343 of God G2316 revealed G601 from G1537 faith G4102 to G1519 faith G4102 : as G2531 it is written G1125 G1161 . The G3588 just G1342 shall live G2198 by G1537 faith G4102 .
|
|
18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness,
|
18. For G1063 the wrath G3709 of God G2316 is revealed G601 from G575 heaven G3772 against G1909 all G3956 ungodliness G763 and G2532 unrighteousness G93 of men G444 , who hold G2722 the G3588 truth G225 in G1722 unrighteousness G93 ;
|
|
19. because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
|
19. Because G1360 that which may be known G1110 of God G2316 is G2076 manifest G5318 in G1722 them G846 ; for G1063 God G2316 hath showed G5319 it unto them G846 .
|
|
20. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes� his eternal power and divine nature� have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.
|
20. For G1063 the G3588 invisible things G517 of him G846 from G575 the creation G2937 of the world G2889 are clearly seen G2529 , being understood G3539 by the G3588 things that are G4161 made, even G5037 G3739 his G848 eternal G126 power G1411 and G2532 Godhead G2305 ; so that they G846 are G1511 without excuse G379 :
|
|
21. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.
|
21. Because that G1360 , when they knew G1097 God G2316 , they glorified G1392 him not G3756 as G5613 God G2316 , neither G2228 were thankful G2168 ; but G235 became vain G3154 in G1722 their G848 imaginations G1261 , and G2532 their G848 foolish G801 heart G2588 was darkened G4654 .
|
|
22. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
|
22. Professing G5335 themselves to be G1511 wise G4680 , they became fools G3471 ,
|
|
23. and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.
|
23. And G2532 changed G236 the G3588 glory G1391 of the G3588 incorruptible G862 God G2316 into G1722 an image G1504 made like to G3667 corruptible G5349 man G444 , and G2532 to birds G4071 , and G2532 fourfooted beasts G5074 , and G2532 creeping things G2062 .
|
|
24. Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.
|
24. Wherefore G1352 God G2316 also G2532 gave them up G3860 G846 to G1519 uncleanness G167 through G1722 the G3588 lusts G1939 of their own G848 hearts G2588 , to dishonor G818 their own G848 bodies G4983 between G1722 themselves G1438 :
|
|
25. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
|
25. Who G3748 changed G3337 the G3588 truth G225 of God G2316 into G1722 a lie G5579 , and G2532 worshiped G4573 and G2532 served G3000 the G3588 creature G2937 more than G3844 the G3588 Creator G2936 , who G3739 is G2076 blessed G2128 forever G1519 G165 . Amen G281 .
|
|
26. For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,
|
26. For this cause G1223 G5124 God G2316 gave them up G3860 G846 unto G1519 vile G819 affections G3806 : for G1063 even G5037 G3739 their G848 women G2338 did change G3337 the G3588 natural G5446 use G5540 into G1519 that G3588 which is against G3844 nature G5449 :
|
|
27. and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
|
27. And G5037 likewise G3668 also G2532 the G3588 men G730 , leaving G863 the G3588 natural G5446 use G5540 of the G3588 woman G2338 , burned G1572 in G1722 their G848 lust G3715 one toward another G240 G1519 ; men G730 with G1722 men G730 working G2716 that which is unseemly G808 , and G2532 receiving G618 in G1722 themselves G1438 that recompense G489 of their G848 error G4106 which G3739 was meet G1163 .
|
|
28. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.
|
28. And G2532 even as G2531 they did not G3756 like G1381 to retain G2192 God G2316 in G1722 their knowledge G1922 , God G2316 gave them over G3860 G846 to G1519 a reprobate G96 mind G3563 , to do G4160 those things which are not convenient G2520 G3361 ;
|
|
29. They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips,
|
29. Being filled G4137 with all G3956 unrighteousness G93 , fornication G4202 , wickedness G4189 , covetousness G4124 , maliciousness G2549 ; full G3324 of envy G5355 , murder G5408 , debate G2054 , deceit G1388 , malignity G2550 ; whisperers G5588 ,
|
|
30. slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents,
|
30. Backbiters G2637 , haters of God G2319 , despiteful G5197 , proud G5244 , boasters G213 , inventors G2182 of evil things G2556 , disobedient G545 to parents G1118 ,
|
|
31. senseless, covenant-breakers, heartless, ruthless.
|
31. Without understanding G801 , covenant breakers G802 , without natural affection G794 , implacable G786 , unmerciful G415 :
|
|
32. Although they fully know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
|
32. Who G3748 knowing G1921 the G3588 judgment G1345 of God G2316 , that G3754 they which commit G4238 such things G5108 are G1526 worthy G514 of death G2288 , not G3756 only G3440 do G4160 the same G846 , but G235 G2532 have pleasure G4909 in them that do G4238 them.
