OET ROM chapter 1

Literal Version

1 This letter is from Paul, a slave of Messiah Yeshua and a chosen ambassador who’s been set apart for God’s good message 2 which he had previously promised through the messages of his prophets in the holy scriptures.

3 This good message is about his son who was conceived as a descendant of David 4 and became known as God’s son according to the spirit of holiness—demonstrating power by coming back to life from the dead. Yes, he’s our master, Yeshua Messiah 5 and it’s through him that we received grace and also the commission to obey in faith to take his name among all the non-Jews 6 which also includes you all there who’re called by Yeshua Messiah.

7 This letter is written to all those in Rome that God loves and considers as holy. May you all experience grace and peace from God our father and from the master Yeshua Messiah.

1:8 Paul’s wish to visit Rome

8 I’ll start by thanking my God through Yeshua Messiah for all of you, because the story about your faith has been told in many countries. 9 Yes, the God that I serve in my spirit in the good message about his son, is my witness about how I never stop mentioning all of you 10 in my prayers—asking that somehow God will favour me by allowing me to come to visit you 11 because I’m longing to see you all so that I can share a particular spiritual gift with you so that you’ll all be strengthened. 12 I want us to all be encouraged together by each other’s faith—both me and all of you.

13 [ref]Brothers and sisters, I don’t want you to be unaware that I had planned several times to come to you but I was vetoed until recently so that I’d also have a harvest among you similar to those among the other non-Jews. 14 Whether it’s Greeks or other foreigners, wise people or foolish, I have an obligation 15 and so I’m eager to also preach the good message to all of you there in Rome.

16 [ref]I’m not ashamed to preach the good message because it conveys God’s power to save everyone who believes it—to Jews first and then non-Jews. 17 [ref]It explains how God makes us guiltless—by faith leading to more faith—as it’s been written: Godly people will live by faith.

8 First indeed I _am _giving _thanks to _the god of _me through Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah for all of _you, because the faith of _you _all is _being _proclaimed in all the world.
9 For/Because witness of _me is the god, unto _whom I _am _serving in the spirit of _me in the good _message of _the son of _him, how unceasingly mentioning of _you _all I _am _making 10 always on the prayers of _me, beseeching if somehow now once I _will _be _being _prospered by the will of_ the _god, to _come to you _all.
11 For/Because I _am _longing to _see you _all, in _order _that a_certain I _may _share gift with _you _all spiritual, in _order that to _be _strengthened you _all, 12 and this is, to _be _encouraged _together among to _you _all, through the among one _another faith, of _you _all both and of _me.
13 Not and I _am _wanting you _all to _be _not _knowing, brothers, that often I _purposed to _come to you _all, and I _was _forbidden until the time presently, in _order _that some fruit I _may _have also among you _all, as even among the other pagans.
14 To _Hellaʸns both and to _foreigners, to_the_wise both and the_foolish, a_debtor I _am.
15 Thus which concerning me, eager am _I also to _you _all who are in Ɽōmaʸ to _good _message _preach.
16 For/Because not I _am _being _ashamed of _the good _message, because/for the_power of_god it _is to salvation to _everyone the one believing, to _Youdaios both first and to _Hellaʸn.
17 For/Because the_righteousness of_god in it is _being _revealed, by faith to faith, as it _has _been _written:
And the righteous by faith will _be _living.

1:18 God’s anger towards those who deny his existence

18 God’s severe anger is being revealed from heaven on the ungodliness and disobedience of people who limit the truth by their disobedience 19 because the fact that there is a God has been shown to them because God himself has revealed it. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible attributes of God have been clearly seen through his workmanship—both his eternal power and his divinity—so people have no excuse. 21 [ref]Even though they know about God, they didn’t honour or thank him, but their theories made them incompetent and their minds turned from perception towards darkness. 22 They claimed to be scientific but instead they believed foolishness 23 [ref]and so they changed the greatness of the eternal God into the likeness of an image of a mortal human, or birds or animals or reptiles.

24 Therefore God reluctantly let their lusts lead to impurity and the dishonouring of their bodies among themselves 25 as they exchanged God’s truth for a lie and now worshipped and served the creation, instead of the creator who should be praised throughout the ages. May it be so.

26 Because of that, God reluctantly let them exercise their dishonourable passions and their women exchanged natural acts for those against nature, 27 and similarly their men deserted the natural acts towards women and stoked their lusts towards each other—man with man and the shame that it produces, and then received back in themselves the payment which is appropriate for such deception.

28 They didn’t want to know about God and so he reluctantly let their depraved minds be filled with unhelpful thoughts 29 and so they were filled with disobedience, wickedness, greediness, and malice, and full of envy, murder, strife, and deceit, becoming malicious, gossips, 30 slanderers, god-haters, abusers, proud, braggers, inventors of evil, unable to be persuaded by their parents, 31 unintelligent, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. 32 They know that God must exercise justice towards those doing such things, yet they not only practice those things which will lead to a death sentence, but they also approve when others do them.

1:13: Acts 19:21.

1:16: Mrk 8:38.

1:17: Hab 2:4.

1:21: Eph 4:17-18.

1:23: Deu 4:16-18.

18 For/Because is _being _revealed the_severe _anger of_god from heaven, on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of _people, which the truth by unrighteousness restraining, 19 because the known thing of_ the _god, manifest is among them, the For/Because god to _them revealed it.
20 For/Because the invisible things of _him from the_creation of_the_world, by _the workmanship being _understood, is _being _clearly _seen, the both eternal of _him power and divinity, in _order that to _be them inexcusable.
21 Because having _known the god, not as god they _glorified or they _gave _thanks, but they _were _made _useless in the speculations of _them, and was _darkened the unintelligent of _them heart.
22 Alleging to _be wise, they _were _made _foolish, 23 and they _changed the glory of _the indestructible god into a_likeness of_an_image of_a_mortal human, and birds, and quadrupeds, and reptiles.
24 Therefore gave _over them the god in the desires of _the hearts of _them to impurity, which to _be _dishonouring the bodies of _them in themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of_ the _god into the falsehood, and were _worshipped and serving unto _the creation contrary _to the one having _created it, who is blessed to the ages.
Truly.
26 Because _of this, gave _over them the god to passions of _dishonour, which for both female of _them exchanged the natural usage into the contrary _to nature, 27 and likewise also the male having _left the natural usage of _the female, were _burned in the desire of _them toward one _another, male with male the shame producing, and the recompense which it _was _fitting of _the deception of _them, in themselves taking _back.
28 And as not they _approved the god to _be _having in knowledge, gave _over them the god to an_unqualified mind, to _be _doing the things not befitting, 29 having _been _filled with _all unrighteousness, wickedness, greediness, malice, full of _envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness, gossips, 30 slanderers, god-hating, abusers, proud, braggers, inventors of _evil, to _parents unpersuadable, 31 unintelligent, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful, 32 who the just _act of_ the _god having _known that the ones the such things doing worthy of _death are, not only them are _practicing, but also they _are _consenting to _the ones practicing.
