Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
1παυλοσ δουλοσ ιησου χριστου κλητοσ αποστολοσ αφωρισμενοσ εισ ευαγγελιον θεου
2the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
2ο προεπηγγειλατο δια των προφητων αυτου εν γραφαισ αγιαισ
3regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
3περι του υιου αυτου του γενομενου εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα σαρκα
4and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
4του ορισθεντοσ υιου θεου εν δυναμει κατα πνευμα αγιωσυνησ εξ αναστασεωσ νεκρων ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων
5Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
5δι ου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εισ υπακοην πιστεωσ εν πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υπερ του ονοματοσ αυτου
6And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
6εν οισ εστε και υμεισ κλητοι ιησου χριστου
7To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
7πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ρωμη αγαπητοισ θεου κλητοισ αγιοισ χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
8πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τω θεω μου δια ιησου χριστου υπερ παντων υμων οτι η πιστισ υμων καταγγελλεται εν ολω τω κοσμω
9God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
9μαρτυσ γαρ μου εστιν ο θεοσ ω λατρευω εν τω πνευματι μου εν τω ευαγγελιω του υιου αυτου ωσ αδιαλειπτωσ μνειαν υμων ποιουμαι
10in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
10παντοτε επι των προσευχων μου δεομενοσ ει πωσ ηδη ποτε ευοδωθησομαι εν τω θεληματι του θεου ελθειν προσ υμασ
11For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
11επιποθω γαρ ιδειν υμασ ινα τι μεταδω χαρισμα υμιν πνευματικον εισ το στηριχθηναι υμασ
12that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
12τουτο δε εστιν συμπαρακληθηναι εν υμιν δια τησ εν αλληλοισ πιστεωσ υμων τε και εμου
13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
13ου θελω δε υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι οτι πολλακισ προεθεμην ελθειν προσ υμασ και εκωλυθην αχρι του δευρο ινα τινα καρπον σχω και εν υμιν καθωσ και εν τοισ λοιποισ εθνεσιν
14I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
14ελλησιν τε και βαρβαροισ σοφοισ τε και ανοητοισ οφειλετησ ειμι
15That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
15ουτωσ το κατ εμε προθυμον και υμιν τοισ εν ρωμη ευαγγελισασθαι
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
16ου γαρ επαισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου δυναμισ γαρ θεου εστιν εισ σωτηριαν παντι τω πιστευοντι ιουδαιω τε πρωτον και ελληνι
17For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
17δικαιοσυνη γαρ θεου εν αυτω αποκαλυπτεται εκ πιστεωσ εισ πιστιν καθωσ γεγραπται ο δε δικαιοσ εκ πιστεωσ ζησεται
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
18αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
19διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοισ ο γαρ θεοσ αυτοισ εφανερωσεν
20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.
20τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεωσ κοσμου τοισ ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιοσ αυτου δυναμισ και θειοτησ εισ το ειναι αυτουσ αναπολογητουσ
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
21διοτι γνοντεσ τον θεον ουχ ωσ θεον εδοξασαν η ευχαριστησαν αλλ εματαιωθησαν εν τοισ διαλογισμοισ αυτων και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετοσ αυτων καρδια
22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
22φασκοντεσ ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν
23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
23και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου θεου εν ομοιωματι εικονοσ φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων
24Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
24διο και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εν ταισ επιθυμιαισ των καρδιων αυτων εισ ακαθαρσιαν του ατιμαζεσθαι τα σωματα αυτων εν εαυτοισ
25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.
25οιτινεσ μετηλλαξαν την αληθειαν του θεου εν τω ψευδει και εσεβασθησαν και ελατρευσαν τη κτισει παρα τον κτισαντα οσ εστιν ευλογητοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ αμην
26For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
26δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ παθη ατιμιασ αι τε γαρ θηλειαι αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εισ την παρα φυσιν
27Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
27ομοιωσ τε και οι αρρενεσ αφεντεσ την φυσικην χρησιν τησ θηλειασ εξεκαυθησαν εν τη ορεξει αυτων εισ αλληλουσ αρσενεσ εν αρσεσιν την ασχημοσυνην κατεργαζομενοι και την αντιμισθιαν ην εδει τησ πλανησ αυτων εν εαυτοισ απολαμβανοντεσ
28Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
28και καθωσ ουκ εδοκιμασαν τον θεον εχειν εν επιγνωσει παρεδωκεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ εισ αδοκιμον νουν ποιειν τα μη καθηκοντα
29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
29πεπληρωμενουσ παση αδικια πορνεια πονηρια πλεονεξια κακια μεστουσ φθονου φονου εριδοσ δολου κακοηθειασ ψιθυριστασ
30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
30καταλαλουσ θεοστυγεισ υβριστασ υπερηφανουσ αλαζονασ εφευρετασ κακων γονευσιν απειθεισ
31They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
31ασυνετουσ ασυνθετουσ αστοργουσ ασπονδουσ ανελεημονασ
32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
32οιτινεσ το δικαιωμα του θεου επιγνοντεσ οτι οι τα τοιαυτα πρασσοντεσ αξιοι θανατου εισιν ου μονον αυτα ποιουσιν αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν τοισ πρασσουσιν
