| [1]PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent ; and separated unto the gospel of God, |
[1]Paul a servant of JESUS CHRIST, called to be an Apostle, put apart to preach the Gospel of God, |
| [2](which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures, |
[2](Which he had promised afore by his Prophets in the Holy Scriptures) |
| [3]concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David, |
[3]Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, |
| [4]and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord, |
[4]And declared mightily to be the Son of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead) |
| [5]by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name; |
[5]By whom we have received grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be given unto the faith) in his Name among all the Gentiles, |
| [6]among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah;) |
[6]Among whom ye be also the called of Jesus Christ: |
| [7]to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah. |
[7]To all you that be at Rome beloved of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| [8]In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world. |
[8]First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world. |
| [9]And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers. |
[9]For God is my witness (whom I serve in my spirit in the Gospel of his Son) that without ceasing I make mention of you |
| [10]And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you. |
[10]Always in my prayers, beseeching, that by some means one time or other I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you. |
| [11]For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established; |
[11]For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, to strengthen you, |
| [12]and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me. |
[12]That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutual faith, both yours and mine. |
| [13]And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles, |
[13]Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you (but have been let hitherto) that I might have some fruit also among you, as I have among the other Gentiles. |
| [14]Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach [to him]. |
[14]I am debtor both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and unto the unwise. |
| [15]And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome. |
[15]Therefore, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also that are at Rome. |
| [16]For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles. |
[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 Grecian. |
| [17]For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live. |
[17]For by it the righteousness of God is revealed, from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. |
| [18]For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity. |
[18]For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, which withhold the truth in unrighteousness, |
| [19]Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in them. |
[19]Forasmuch as that, which may be known of God, is manifest in them: for God hath showed it unto them. |
| [20]For, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be without excuse; |
[20]For the invisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seen by the creation of the world, being considered in his works, to the intent that they should be without excuse: |
| [21]because they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened. |
[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 full of darkness. |
| [22]And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools. |
[22]When they professed themselves to be wise, they became fools. |
| [23]And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth. |
[23]For they turned the glory of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and four footed beasts, and of creeping things. |
| [24]For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them. |
[24]Wherefore also God gave them up to their hearts lusts, unto uncleanness, to defile their own bodies between themselves: |
| [25]And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. |
[25]Which turned the truth of God unto a lie, and worshipped and served the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed forever, Amen. |
| [26]For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural. |
[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 so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error. |
[27]And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves such recompense of their error, as was meet. |
| [28]And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not, |
[28]For as they regarded not to know God, even so God delivered them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient, |
| [29]being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations, |
[29]Being full of all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the evil part, whisperers, |
| [30]and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents, |
[30]Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, such as can never be appeased, merciless. |
| [31]and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion. |
[31]Which men, though they knew the Law of God, how that they which commit such things, are worthy of death, yet not only do the same, but also favor them that do them. |
| [32]These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them. |
