1:1  Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, having been separated for the good-news of God
1:2  which He promised-beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures
1:3  concerning His Son— the One having come from the seed of David according-to the flesh,
1:4  the One having been designated as the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord—
1:5  through Whom we received grace and apostleship for the obedience of  faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of His name,
1:6  among whom you also are called ones of Jesus Christ,
1:7  to all the ones being in Rome, beloved ones of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8  First, I am giving-thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for you all because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.
1:9  For God is my witness— Whom I am serving in my spirit in the good-news of His Son— how unceasingly I am making mention of you
1:10  always in my prayers, asking if somehow now at last I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you.
1:11  For I am yearning to see you in order that I may impart some spiritual gift to you so that you may be established.
1:12  And this is that I may be encouraged-together-with you among you— through each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
1:13  And I do not want you to be-unaware, brothers, that often I planned to come to you— and was prevented until now— in order that I might have some fruit among you also, as indeed among the other Gentiles.
1:14  I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and foolish.
1:15  So for my part, I am eager also to announce-the-good-news to you, the ones in Rome.
1:16  For I am not ashamed-of the good-news, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone believing— both to the Jew first and to the Greek.
1:17  For the righteousness of  God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it has been written [in Hab 2:4]: “But the righteous one shall live by faith”.
1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people holding-down the truth in unrighteousness.
1:19  Because the thing known of God is evident in them, for God made it evident to them.
1:20  For His invisible things— both His eternal power and divine-nature— are clearly-seen, being understood since the creation of the world in the things made, so that they are without-excuse.
1:21  Because having known God, they did not glorify Him as God or give-thanks, but became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless heart was darkened.
1:22  While claiming to be wise, they became-foolish
1:23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for a likeness— an image of a mortal person and of birds and of four-footed-animals and of reptiles.
1:24  Therefore God handed them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity so that  their bodies are dishonored among them.
1:25  Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the One having created— Who is blessed forever, amen.
1:26  For this reason God handed them over to passions of  dishonor. For both their females exchanged the natural [sexual] function for the one contrary to nature,
1:27  and likewise also the males, having left the natural [sexual] function of the female, were inflamed by their craving for one another— males with males committing the indecent-act and receiving-back in themselves the return which was due their error.
1:28  And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God handed them over to a disapproved mind, to do the things not being proper—
1:29  having been filled with all unrighteousness, evilness, greed, badness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; whisperers,
1:30  slanderers, God-haters, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evils, disobedient to parents,
1:31  senseless, unfaithful, unaffectionate, unmerciful;
1:32  who, having known the regulation of God that the ones practicing such things are worthy of death, not only are doing them, but are also giving-approval to the ones practicing them.
