Romans 1

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

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

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

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

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

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

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

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

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

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

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

μεταξυ των οποιων εισθε και σεις προσκεκλημενοι του Ιησου Χριστου,

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

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

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

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

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

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

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

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

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

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

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

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

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

Δεν 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.

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

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

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

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

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 Greek.

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

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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

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

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

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

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

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

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

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 darkened.

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

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

λεγοντες οτι ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

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

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

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

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Οιτινες 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.

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:

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

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

ομοιως 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.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

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

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

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

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

ασυνετοι, παραβαται συνθηκων, ασπλαγχνοι, αδιαλλακτοι, ανελεημονες

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

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