¹[] Παυλος, δουλος Ιησου Χριστου, προσκεκλημενος αποστολος, κεχωρισμενος δια το ευαγγελιον του Θεου,

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

²το οποιον προυπεσχεθη δια των προφητων αυτου εν ταις αγιαις γραφαις,

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

³περι του Υιου αυτου, οστις εγεννηθη εκ σπερματος Δαβιδ κατα σαρκα,

³concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

⁴και απεδειχθη Υιος Θεου εν δυναμει κατα το πνευμα της αγιωσυνης δια της εκ νεκρων αναστασεως, Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων,

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

⁵δια του οποιου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εις υπακοην πιστεως παντων των εθνων υπερ του ονοματος αυτου,

⁵through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;

⁶μεταξυ των οποιων εισθε και σεις προσκεκλημενοι του Ιησου Χριστου,

⁶among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

⁷προς παντας τους οντας εν Ρωμη αγαπητους του Θεου, προσκεκλημενους αγιους, χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.

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

⁸[] Πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τον Θεον μου δια Ιησου Χριστου υπερ παντων υμων, διοτι η πιστις σας κηρυττεται εν ολω τω κοσμω.

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

⁹Επειδη μαρτυς μου ειναι ο Θεος, τον οποιον λατρευω δια του πνευματος μου εν τω ευαγγελιω του Υιου αυτου, οτι αδιαλειπτως σας ενθυμουμαι,

⁹For 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,

¹⁰δεομενος παντοτε εν ταις προσευχαις μου να αξιωθω ηδη ποτε δια του θεληματος του Θεου να ελθω προς εσας.

¹⁰requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

¹¹Διοτι επιποθω να σας ιδω, δια να σας μεταδωσω χαρισμα τι πνευματικον προς στηριξιν υμων,

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

¹²τουτο δε ειναι, το να συμπαρηγορηθω μεταξυ σας δια της κοινης πιστεως υμων τε και εμου.

¹²that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

¹³Δεν θελω δε να αγνοητε, αδελφοι, οτι πολλακις εμελετησα να ελθω προς εσας, εμποδισθην ομως μεχρι τουδε, δια να απολαυσω καρπον τινα και μεταξυ σας, καθως και μεταξυ των λοιπων εθνων.

¹³Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

¹⁴Χρεωστης ειμαι προς Ελληνας τε και βαρβαρους, σοφους τε και ασοφους·

¹⁴I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

¹⁵ουτω προθυμος ειμαι το κατ' εμε να κηρυξω το ευαγγελιον και προς εσας τους εν Ρωμη.

¹⁵So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

¹⁶[] Διοτι δεν αισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου· επειδη ειναι δυναμις Θεου προς σωτηριαν εις παντα τον πιστευοντα Ιουδαιον τε, πρωτον και Ελληνα.

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

¹⁷Διοτι δι' αυτου αποκαλυπτεται η δικαιοσυνη του Θεου εκ πιστεως εις πιστιν, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον· Ο δε δικαιος θελει ζησει εκ πιστεως.

¹⁷For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹⁸Διοτι οργη Θεου αποκαλυπτεται απ' ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων, οιτινες κατακρατουσι την αληθειαν εν αδικια.

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

¹⁹[] Επειδη ο, τι δυναται να γνωρισθη περι Θεου ειναι φανερον εν αυτοις, διοτι ο Θεος εφανερωσε τουτο προς αυτους.

¹⁹because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

²⁰Επειδη τα αορατα αυτου βλεπονται φανερως απο κτισεως κοσμου νοουμενα δια των ποιηματων, η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και η θειοτης, ωστε αυτοι ειναι αναπολογητοι.

²⁰For 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.

²¹Διοτι γνωρισαντες τον Θεον, δεν εδοξασαν ως Θεον ουδε ευχαριστησαν, αλλ' εματαιωθησαν εν τοις διαλογισμοις αυτων, και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετος αυτων καρδια·

²¹Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

²²λεγοντες οτι ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν,

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου Θεου εις ομοιωμα εικονος φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων.

²³and 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.

²⁴Δια τουτο και παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος δια των επιθυμιων των καρδιων αυτων εις ακαθαρσιαν, ωστε να ατιμαζωνται τα σωματα αυτων μεταξυ αυτων.

²⁴Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

²⁵Οιτινες μετηλλαξαν την αληθειαν του Θεου εις το ψευδος, και εσεβασθησαν και ελατρευσαν την κτισιν μαλλον παρα τον κτισαντα, οστις ειναι ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας· αμην.

²⁵who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶Δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος εις παθη ατιμιας· διοτι και αι γυναικες αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εις την παρα φυσιν·

²⁶For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

²⁷ομοιως δε και οι ανδρες, αφησαντες την φυσικην χρησιν της γυναικος, εξεκαυθησαν εις την επιθυμιαν αυτων προς αλληλους, πραττοντες την ασχημοσυνην αρσενες εις αρσενας και απολαμβανοντες εις εαυτους την πρεπουσαν αντιμισθιαν της πλανης αυτων.

²⁷Likewise 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.

²⁸Και καθως απεδοκιμασαν το να εχωσιν επιγνωσιν του Θεου, παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος εις αδοκιμον νουν, ωστε να πραττωσι τα μη πρεποντα,

²⁸Even 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;

²⁹πληρεις οντες πασης αδικιας, πορνειας, πονηριας, πλεονεξιας, κακιας, γεμοντες φθονου, φονου, εριδος, δολου, κακοηθειας·

²⁹being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

³⁰ψιθυρισται, καταλαλοι, μισοθεοι, υβρισται, υπερηφανοι, αλαζονες, εφευρεται κακων, απειθεις εις τους γονεις,

³⁰backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ασυνετοι, παραβαται συνθηκων, ασπλαγχνοι, αδιαλλακτοι, ανελεημονες·

³¹without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

³²οιτινες ενω γνωριζουσι την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου, οτι οι πραττοντες τα τοιαυτα ειναι αξιοι θανατου, ουχι μονον πραττουσιν αυτα, αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν εις τους πραττοντας.

³²who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
