Romans 1:11-32

11For 1I longG1971 to seeG3708 you soG2443 that I may impartG3330 someG5100 spiritualG4152 giftG5486 to you, that you may be 2establishedG4741; 12that is, that I may be encouragedG4837 togetherG4837 with you while amongG1722 you, eachG240 of us by the other’sG240 faithG4102, bothG5037 yoursG4771 and mineG1473. 133I do not wantG2309 you to be unawareG50, 4brethrenG80, that oftenG4178 I 5have plannedG4388 to comeG2064 to you (and have been preventedG2967 soG2443 farG891) soG2443 that I may obtainG2192 someG5100 6fruitG2590 amongG1722 you alsoG2532, evenG2531 as amongG1722 the restG3062 of the GentilesG1484. 147I amG1510 8underG3781 obligationG3781 bothG5037 to GreeksG1672 and to 9barbariansG915, bothG5037 to the wiseG4680 and to the foolishG453. 15SoG3779, for my partG1473, I am eagerG4289 to 10preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to you alsoG2532 whoG3588 are in RomeG4516.

16For I amG1870 not 11ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098, for 12it is the powerG1411 of GodG2316 for salvationG4991 to everyoneG3956 who believesG4100, to the 13JewG2453 firstG4413 and alsoG5037 to 14the GreekG1672. 17For in it 15the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 16from faithG4102 to faithG4102; as it is writtenG1125, “1718But the righteousG1342 man shall liveG2198 by faithG4102.”

18For 19the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of menG444 who 20suppressG2722 the truthG225 21in unrighteousnessG93, 19becauseG1360 22that whichG1110 is knownG1110 about GodG2316 is evidentG5318 23withinG1722 them; for GodG2316 madeG5319 it evidentG5319 to them. 20For 24sinceG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 His invisibleG517 attributes, His eternalG126 powerG1411 and divineG2305 natureG2305, have been clearlyG2529 seenG2529, 25being understoodG3539 through whatG4161 hasG4161 beenG4161 madeG4161, soG1519 that they are withoutG379 excuseG379. 21For even though they knewG1097 GodG2316, they did not 26honorG1392 Him as GodG2316 orG2228 giveG2168 thanksG2168, but they becameG3154 27futileG3154 in their speculationsG1261, and their foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654. 2228ProfessingG5335 to be wiseG4680, they becameG3471 foolsG3471, 23and 29exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 manG444 and of birdsG4071 and four-footedG5074 animalsG5074 and 30crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.

24ThereforeG1352 31GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588 to impurityG167, soG1519 that their bodiesG4983 would be 32dishonoredG818 amongG1722 them. 25For they exchangedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 for 33a 34lieG5579, and worshipedG4573 and servedG3000 the creatureG2937 ratherG3844 thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, 35whoG3739 is blessedG2128 36foreverG165. AmenG281.

26For thisG3778 reasonG1223 37GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 to 38degradingG819 passionsG3806; for their womenG2338 exchangedG3337 the naturalG5446 functionG5540 for that which is 39unnaturalG3844G5449, 27and in the sameG3668 wayG3668 alsoG2532 the menG733 abandonedG863 the naturalG5446 functionG5540 of the womanG2338 and burnedG1572 in their desireG3715 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240, 40menG733 with menG733 committingG2716 41indecentG808 actsG808 and receivingG618 in 42their ownG1438 personsG1438 the dueG1163 penaltyG489 of their errorG4106.

28And justG2531 as they did not seeG1381 fitG1381 43to acknowledgeG2192G1922 GodG2316 any longer, 44GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 to a depravedG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 thoseG3588 things which are not properG2520, 29being filledG4137 with allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, wickednessG4189, greedG4124, evilG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, strifeG2054, deceitG1388, maliceG2550; they are 45gossipsG5588, 30slanderersG2637, 4647hatersG2319 of GodG2319, insolentG5197, arrogantG5244, boastfulG213, inventorsG2182 of evilG2556, 48disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31withoutG801 understandingG801, untrustworthyG802, 49unlovingG794, unmercifulG415; 32and although they knowG1921 the ordinanceG1345 of GodG2316, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 are worthyG514 of 50deathG2288, they not onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, but alsoG2532 51giveG4909 heartyG4909 approvalG4909 to thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 them.
