Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

παυλος δουλος {VAR1: ιησου χριστου } {VAR2: χριστου ιησου } κλητος αποστολος αφωρισμενος εις ευαγγελιον θεου

2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαις αγιαις

3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματος δαυιδ κατα σαρκα

4 and who was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

του ορισθεντος υιου θεου εν δυναμει κατα πνευμα αγιωσυνης εξ αναστασεως νεκρων ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων

5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,

δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εις υπακοην πιστεως εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματος αυτου

6 including you who are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

εν οις εστε και υμεις κλητοι ιησου χριστου

7 to all who are in Rome, beloved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

πασιν τοις ουσιν εν ρωμη αγαπητοις θεου κλητοις αγιοις χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

8 First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τω θεω μου δια ιησου χριστου περι παντων υμων οτι η πιστις υμων καταγγελλεται εν ολω τω κοσμω

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that I continually remember you,

μαρτυς γαρ μου εστιν ο θεος ω λατρευω εν τω πνευματι μου εν τω ευαγγελιω του υιου αυτου ως αδιαλειπτως μνειαν υμων ποιουμαι

10 always pleading in my prayers that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

παντοτε επι των προσευχων μου δεομενος ει πως ηδη ποτε ευοδωθησομαι εν τω θεληματι του θεου ελθειν προς υμας

11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established,

επιποθω γαρ ιδειν υμας ινα τι μεταδω χαρισμα υμιν πνευματικον εις το στηριχθηναι υμας

12 that is, that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια της εν αλληλοις πιστεως υμων τε και εμου

13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but have been hindered until the present time) so that I might have some fruit among you as well, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι πολλακις προεθεμην ελθειν προς υμας και εκωλυθην αχρι του δευρο ινα τινα καρπον σχω και εν υμιν καθως και εν τοις λοιποις εθνεσιν

14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish;

ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροις σοφοις τε και ανοητοις οφειλετης ειμι

15 thus the eagerness on my part to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

ουτως το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοις εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, both to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

ου γαρ επαισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον δυναμις γαρ θεου εστιν εις σωτηριαν παντι τω πιστευοντι ιουδαιω τε {VAR1: [πρωτον] } {VAR2: πρωτον } και ελληνι

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous will live by faith.”

δικαιοσυνη γαρ θεου εν αυτω αποκαλυπτεται εκ πιστεως εις πιστιν καθως γεγραπται ο δε δικαιος εκ πιστεως ζησεται

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.

αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων

19 Because what is known about God is evident among them, for God has made it evident to them.

διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοις ο θεος γαρ αυτοις εφανερωσεν

20 For his invisible qualities, both his everlasting power and his divinity, have been plainly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους (aïdios g126)

21 For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened.

διοτι γνοντες τον θεον ουχ ως θεον εδοξασαν η ηυχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοις διαλογισμοις αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετος αυτων καρδια

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools

φασκοντες ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν

23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονος φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

διο παρεδωκεν αυτους ο θεος εν ταις επιθυμιαις των καρδιων αυτων εις ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν αυτοις

25 because they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

οιτινες μετηλλαξαν την αληθειαν του θεου εν τω ψευδει και εσεβασθησαν και ελατρευσαν τη κτισει παρα τον κτισαντα ος εστιν ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας αμην (aiōn g165)

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.

δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτους ο θεος εις παθη ατιμιας αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εις την παρα φυσιν

27 In the same way the men also, having abandoned the natural function of the female, were inflamed in their lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

ομοιως τε και οι αρσενες αφεντες την φυσικην χρησιν της θηλειας εξεκαυθησαν εν τη ορεξει αυτων εις αλληλους αρσενες εν αρσεσιν την ασχημοσυνην κατεργαζομενοι και την αντιμισθιαν ην εδει της πλανης αυτων εν εαυτοις απολαμβανοντες

28 And just as they considered it worthless to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a worthless mind, to do what is not proper.

και καθως ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτους ο θεος εις αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα

29 They are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, evil, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and maliciousness. They are gossips,

πεπληρωμενους παση αδικια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστους φθονου φονου εριδος δολου κακοηθειας ψιθυριστας

30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

καταλαλους θεοστυγεις υβριστας υπερηφανους αλαζονας εφευρετας κακων γονευσιν απειθεις

31 senseless, untrustworthy, without natural affection, irreconcilable, and unmerciful.

ασυνετους ασυνθετους αστοργους ανελεημονας

32 Though they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.

οιτινες το δικαιωμα του θεου επιγνοντες οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντες αξιοι θανατου εισιν ου μονον αυτα ποιουσιν αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν τοις πρασσουσιν
