Sha'ul�s Letter to the Romans, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, called to be an
apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, {1:2} which he promised
before through his prophets in the holy scriptures, {1:3} concerning
his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
{1:4} who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to
the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Yeshua the
Messiah our Lord, {1:5} through whom we received grace and
apostleship, to obedience of faith among all the nations, for his
name's sake. {1:6} Among whom you are also called to be Yeshua the
Messiah's. {1:7} To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be
holy ones: Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord
Yeshua the Messiah.
{1:8} First, I thank my God through Yeshua the Messiah for all of
you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. {1:9}
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of
his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
{1:10} requesting, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by
the will of God to come to you. {1:11} For I long to see you, that I
may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be
established; {1:12} that is, that I with you may be comforted in you,
each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine. {1:13} Now I
don't desire to have you unaware, brothers, that often I planned to
come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit in
you also, even as in the rest of the Goyim. {1:14} I am debtor both to
Yevanim and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish. {1:15}
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Good News to you
also who are in Rome. {1:16} For I am not ashamed of the Good News of
Messiah, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who
believes; to the Yehudi first, and also to the Yevanit. {1:17} For
therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith. As it
is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith." {1:18} For the
wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness,
{1:19} because that which is known by God is revealed in them, for God
revealed it to them. {1:20} For the invisible things of him since the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the
things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that
they may be without excuse. {1:21} Because, knowing God, they didn't
glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their
reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. {1:22} Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools, {1:23} and traded the glory
of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible
man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
{1:24} Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to
uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,
{1:25} who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and
served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Amein. {1:26} For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For
their women changed the natural function into that which is against
nature. {1:27} Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of
the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is
inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of
their error. {1:28} Even as they refused to have God in their
knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not fitting; {1:29} being filled with all unrighteousness,
sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of
envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, {1:30}
backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents, {1:31} without understanding,
covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
{1:32} who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such
things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent
with those who practice them.
