¹ Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, severed for the evangel of God" ² (which He promises before through His prophets in the holy scriptures), ³ concerning His Son (Who comes of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ Who is designated Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead), ⁵ Jesus Christ, our Lord, through Whom we obtained grace and apostleship for faith-obedience among all the nations, for His name's sake, ⁶ among whom are you also, the called of Jesus Christ:" ⁷ to all who are in Rome, beloved by God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." ⁸ First, indeed, I am thanking my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you, that your faith is being announced in the whole world." ⁹ For God is my Witness, to Whom I am offering divine service in my spirit in the evangel of His Son, how unintermittingly I am making mention of you always in my prayers" ¹⁰ beseeching, if somehow, sometime, at length I shall be prospered, in the will of God, to come to you." ¹¹ For I am longing to see you, that I may be sharing some spiritual grace with you, for you to be established:" ¹² yet this is to be consoled together among you through one another's faith, both yours and mine." ¹³ Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, that often I purposed to come to you (and was prevented hitherto) that I should be having some fruit among you also, according as among the rest of the nations." ¹⁴ To both Greeks and barbarians, to both wise and foolish, a debtor am I." ¹⁵ Thus this eagerness of mine to bring the evangel to you also, who are in Rome." ¹⁶ For not ashamed am I of the evangel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who is believing - to the Jew first, and to the Greek as well." ¹⁷ For in it God's righteousness is being revealed, out of faith for faith, according as it is written: "Now the just one by faith shall be living." ¹⁸ For God's indignation is being revealed from heaven on all the irreverence and injustice of men who are retaining the truth in injustice, ¹⁹ because that which is known of God is apparent among them, for God manifests it to them." ²⁰ For His invisible attributes are descried from the creation of the world, being apprehended by His achievements, besides His imperceptible power and divinity, for them to be defenseless, ²¹ because, knowing God, not as God do they glorify or thank Him, but vain were they made in their reasonings, and darkened is their unintelligent heart." ²² Alleging themselves to be wise, they are made stupid, ²³ and they change the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a corruptible human being and flying creatures and quadrupeds and reptiles. ²⁴ Wherefore God gives them over, in the lusts of their hearts, to the uncleanness of dishonoring their bodies among themselves, ²⁵ those who alter the truth of God into the lie, and are venerated, and offer divine service to the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed for the eons! Amen!" ²⁶ Therefore God gives them over to dishonorable passions. For their females, besides, alter the natural use into that which is beside nature." ²⁷ Likewise also the males, besides, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their craving for one another, males with males effecting indecency, and getting back in themselves the retribution of their deception which must be." ²⁸ And according as they do not test God, to have Him in recognition, God gives them over to a disqualified mind, to do that which is not befitting, ²⁹ filled with all injustice, wickedness, evil, greed, distended with envy, murder, strife, guile, depravity, whisperers, ³⁰ vilifiers, detesters of God, outragers, proud, ostentatious, inventors of evil things, stubborn to parents, ³¹ unintelligent, perfidious, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:" ³² those who, recognizing the just statute of God, that those committing such things are deserving of death, not only are doing them, but are endorsing, also, those who are committing them."

⁸ There was one person, but there was no second; There even was no son or brother for him; Also there was no end to all his toil, Yet his eyes were not satisfied with his riches. Then he said, For whom am I toiling And making my soul lack good? This too is vanity, and it is an experience of evil." ⁹ Two are better than one Because there is better hire for them in their toil; ¹⁰ For if they fall, one can raise up his partner; But woe to him, the one who falls when there is no second person to raise him up." ¹¹ Also, if two lie down together it is warm for them, Yet for one, how can he keep warm? ¹² And if somebody can overpower him who is single, Then two can stand firm in front of him who attacks. A threefold thread cannot quickly be pulled apart."

¹ If, then, there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any communion of spirit, if any compassion and pity, ² fill my joy full, that you may be mutually disposed, having mutual love, joined in soul, being disposed to one thing" ³ nothing according with faction, nor yet according with vainglory - but with humility, deeming one another superior to one's self, ⁴ not each noting that which is his own, but each that of others also." ⁵ For let this disposition be in you, which is in Christ Jesus also, ⁶ Who, being inherently in the form of God, deems it not pillaging to be equal with God, ⁷ nevertheless empties Himself, taking the form of a slave, coming to be in the likeness of humanity, ⁸ and, being found in fashion as a human, He humbles Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." ⁹ Wherefore, also, God highly exalts Him, and graces Him with the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should be bowing, celestial and terrestrial and subterranean, ¹¹ and every tongue should be acclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God, the Father." ¹² So that, my beloved, according as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, with fear and trembling, be carrying your own salvation into effect, ¹³ for it is God Who is operating in you to will as well as to work for the sake of His delight. ¹⁴ All be doing without murmurings and reasonings, ¹⁵ that you may become blameless and artless, children of God, flawless, in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse among whom you are appearing as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ having on the word of life, for my glorying in the day of Christ, that I did not run for naught, neither that I toil for naught." ¹⁷ But even if I am a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I am rejoicing myself and rejoicing together with you all." ¹⁸ Now, to be mutual, you also be rejoicing, and be rejoicing together with me." ¹⁹ Now I am expecting, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you quickly, that I also may be of good cheer when I know of your concerns." ²⁰ For I have no one equally sensitive, who will be so genuinely solicitous of your concerns, ²¹ for all are seeking that which is their own, not that which is Christ Jesus'." ²² Now you know his testedness, that, as a child with a father, he slaves with me for the evangel." ²³ This one, indeed, then, I am expecting to send - as ever I may be perceiving my course from the things about me - forthwith." ²⁴ Yet I have confidence in the Lord that I myself shall also be coming quickly. ²⁵ Now I deem it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, yet your apostle and minister for my need, ²⁶ since, in fact, he was longing for you all and depressed, because you hear that he is infirm." ²⁷ For he is infirm, also, very nigh death, but God is merciful to him, yet not to him only, but to me also, lest I should be having sorrow on sorrow." ²⁸ The more diligently, then, I send him, that seeing him again, you may be rejoicing and I may be more sorrow-free." ²⁹ Receive him, then in the Lord with all joy, and have such in honor, ³⁰ seeing that because of the work of the Lord he draws near unto death, risking his soul that he should fill up your want of ministration toward me."
