1 بولس عبد ليسوع المسيح المدعو رسولا المفرز لانجيل الله2 الذي سبق فوعد به بانبيائه في الكتب المقدسة3 عن ابنه. الذي صار من نسل داود من جهة الجسد4 وتعيّن ابن الله بقوة من جهة روح القداسة بالقيامة من الاموات. يسوع المسيح ربنا5 الذي به لاجل اسمه قبلنا نعمة ورسالة لاطاعة الايمان في جميع الامم6 الذين بينهم انتم ايضا مدعوو يسوع المسيح.7 الى جميع الموجودين في رومية احباء الله مدعوين قديسين. نعمة لكم وسلام من الله ابينا والرب يسوع المسيح.8 اولا اشكر الهي بيسوع المسيح من جهة جميعكم ان ايمانكم ينادى به في كل العالم.9 فان الله الذي اعبده بروحي في انجيل ابنه شاهد لي كيف بلا انقطاع اذكركم10 متضرعا دائما في صلواتي عسى الآن ان يتيسر لي مرة بمشيئة الله ان آتي اليكم.11 لاني مشتاق ان اراكم لكي امنحكم هبة روحية لثباتكم.12 اي لنتعزى بينكم بالايمان الذي فينا جميعا ايمانكم وايماني13 ثم لست اريد ان تجهلوا ايها الاخوة انني مرارا كثيرة قصدت ان آتي اليكم. ومنعت حتى الآن. ليكون لي ثمر فيكم ايضا كما في سائر الامم14 اني مديون لليونانيين والبرابرة للحكماء والجهلاء.15 فهكذا ما هو لي مستعد لتبشيركم انتم الذين في رومية ايضا.16 لاني لست استحي بانجيل المسيح لانه قوة الله للخلاص لكل من يؤمن لليهودي اولا ثم لليوناني.17 لان فيه معلن بر الله بايمان لايمان كما هو مكتوب اما البار فبالايمان يحيا18 لان غضب الله معلن من السماء على جميع فجور الناس واثمهم الذين يحجزون الحق بالاثم.19 اذ معرفة الله ظاهرة فيهم لان الله اظهرها لهم.20 لان اموره غير المنظورة ترى منذ خلق العالم مدركة بالمصنوعات قدرته السرمدية ولاهوته حتى انهم بلا عذر.21 لانهم لما عرفوا الله لم يمجدوه او يشكروه كاله بل حمقوا في افكارهم واظلم قلبهم الغبي.22 وبينما هم يزعمون انهم حكماء صاروا جهلاء23 وابدلوا مجد الله الذي لا يفنى بشبه صورة الانسان الذي يفنى والطيور والدواب والزحافات.24 لذلك اسلمهم الله ايضا في شهوات قلوبهم الى النجاسة لاهانة اجسادهم بين ذواتهم.25 الذين استبدلوا حق الله بالكذب واتقوا وعبدوا المخلوق دون الخالق الذي هو مبارك الى الابد آمين.26 لذلك اسلمهم الله الى اهواء الهوان. لان اناثهم استبدلن الاستعمال الطبيعي بالذي على خلاف الطبيعة.27 وكذلك الذكور ايضا تاركين استعمال الانثى الطبيعي اشتعلوا بشهوتهم بعضهم لبعض فاعلين الفحشاء ذكورا بذكور ونائلين في انفسهم جزاء ضلالهم المحق.28 وكما لم يستحسنوا ان يبقوا الله في معرفتهم اسلمهم الله الى ذهن مرفوض ليفعلوا ما لا يليق.29 مملوئين من كل اثم وزنى وشر وطمع وخبث مشحونين حسدا وقتلا وخصاما ومكرا وسؤا30 نمّامين مفترين مبغضين لله ثالبين متعظمين مدّعين مبتدعين شرورا غير طائعين للوالدين31 بلا فهم ولا عهد ولا حنو ولا رضى ولا رحمة32 الذين اذ عرفوا حكم الله ان الذين يعملون مثل هذه يستوجبون الموت لا يفعلونها فقط بل ايضا يسرّون بالذين يعملون

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,2 (Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, (but was let till now,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.24 Why God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
