Romans 1:11-32

11For 1I longG1971 to seeG3708 you soG2443 thatG2443 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 ofG240 usG240 by theG240 other’sG240 faithG4102, bothG5037 yoursG4771 and mineG1473. 133I do not wantG2309 you to be unawareG50, 4brothersG80 and sisters, that oftenG4178 I 5have plannedG4388 to comeG2064 to you (and have been preventedG2967 soG2443 farG891) soG2443 thatG2443 I may obtainG2192 someG5100 6fruitG2590 amongG1722 you alsoG2532 justG2531 asG2531 amongG1722 the restG3062 of the GentilesG1484. 147I amG1510 8underG3781 obligationG3781 bothG5037 to GreeksG1672 and to the 910unculturedG915, bothG5037 to the wiseG4680 and to the foolishG453. 15SoG3779, for my partG1473, I am eagerG4289 to 11preachG2097 the gospelG2097 to you alsoG2532 whoG3588 are in RomeG4516.

16For I amG1870 not 12ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098, for 13it is the powerG1411 of GodG2316 for salvationG4991 to everyoneG3956 who believesG4100, to the 14JewG2453 firstG4413 and alsoG5037 to 15the GreekG1672. 17For in it 16the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 17from faithG4102 to faithG4102; as it is writtenG1125: “1819But the righteousG1342 one will liveG2198 by faithG4102.”

18For 20the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 from heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 and unrighteousnessG93 of peopleG444 who 21suppressG2722 the truthG225 22in unrighteousnessG93, 19becauseG1360 23that whichG1110 isG1110 knownG1110 about GodG2316 is evidentG5318 24withinG1722 them; for GodG2316 madeG5319 it evidentG5319 to them. 20For 25sinceG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 His invisibleG517 attributes, that is, His eternalG126 powerG1411 and divineG2305 natureG2305, have been clearlyG2529 perceivedG2529, 26being understoodG3539 by whatG4161 hasG4161 beenG4161 madeG4161, soG1519 thatG1519 they are withoutG379 excuseG379. 21For even though they knewG1097 GodG2316, they did not 27honorG1392 Him as GodG2316 orG2228 giveG2168 thanksG2168, but they becameG3154 28futileG3154 in their reasoningsG1261, and their senselessG801 heartsG2588 were darkenedG4654. 2229ClaimingG5335 to be wiseG4680, they becameG3471 foolsG3471, 23and they 30exchangedG236 the gloryG1391 of the incorruptibleG862 GodG2316 for an imageG1504 in the formG3667 of corruptibleG5349 mankindG444, of birdsG4071, four-footedG5074 animalsG5074, and 31crawlingG2062 creaturesG2062.

24ThereforeG1352 32GodG2316 gaveG3860 them upG3860 to vileG167 impurityG167 in the lustsG1939 of their heartsG2588, so that their bodiesG4983 would be 33dishonoredG818 amongG1722 them. 25For they exchangedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 for 3435falsehoodG5579, and worshipedG4573 and servedG3000 the creatureG2937 ratherG3844 thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, 36whoG3739 is blessedG2128 37foreverG165. AmenG281.

26For thisG3778 reasonG1223 38GodG2316 gaveG3860 them overG3860 to 39degradingG819 passionsG3806; for their womenG2338 exchangedG3337 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 for that which is contraryG3844 to natureG5449, 27and likewiseG3668 the menG733, tooG2532, abandonedG863 naturalG5446 relationsG5540 40with womenG2338 and burnedG1572 in their desireG3715 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240, 41malesG733 with malesG733 committingG2716 42shamefulG808 actsG808 and receivingG618 in 43their ownG1438 personsG1438 the dueG1163 penaltyG489 of their errorG4106.

28And justG2531 asG2531 they did not seeG1381 fitG1381 44to acknowledgeG2192G1922 GodG2316, 45GodG2316 gaveG3860 them upG3860 to a depravedG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 thoseG3588 things that areG2520 not properG2520, 29people having been filledG4137 with allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, wickednessG4189, greedG4124, and evilG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, strifeG2054, deceitG1388, and maliceG2550; they are 46gossipsG5588, 30slanderersG2637, 4748hatersG2319 ofG2319 GodG2319, insolentG5197, arrogantG5244, boastfulG213, inventorsG2182 of evilG2556, 49disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, 31withoutG801 understandingG801, untrustworthyG802, 50unfeelingG794, and unmercifulG415; 32and although they knowG1921 the ordinanceG1345 of GodG2316, that thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 suchG5108 thingsG5108 are worthyG514 of 51deathG2288, they not onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, but alsoG2532 52approveG4909 of thoseG3588 who practiceG4238 them.
