Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God—
the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
concerning his Son, who was born of David's line according to the flesh
and was declared Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
Through him we received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the nations for the sake of his name,
and you also are among them, called to belong to Jesus Christ.
To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.
For God is my witness — the God I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son — how constantly I remember you
in all my prayers, always asking that somehow, by God's will, the way may at last be opened for me to come to you.
For I long to see you, so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—
or rather, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, yours and mine.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I have often planned to come to you, but until now I have been prevented, so that I might have a harvest among you as I have had among the other nations.
I am under obligation both to Greeks and to non-Greeks, both to the wise and to the foolish.
That is why I am eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes—first for the Jew, then for the Greek.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, from faith to faith, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
For the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
since what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, understood from what he has made. So they are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became futile and their senseless hearts were darkened.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, so that they degraded their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to shameful passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones,
and in the same way the men abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; they are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and spite. They are gossips,
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
they are senseless, faithless, heartless, and merciless.
Although they know God's righteous decree, that those who do such things deserve death, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
