ULT ROM Chapter 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand by his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son—the one having been born from a seed of David according to the flesh, 4 the one having been designated the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of dead ones—Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, for the sake of his name, 6 among whom you also are called ones of Jesus Christ. 7 To all the ones being in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I continually make mention of you, 10 always requesting in my prayers if somehow now at last I will be successful by the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gracious gift to strengthen you, 12 and that is to be mutually encouraged with you through each other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13 Now I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (but I was hindered until now), so that I might have some fruit among you also, just as also among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise ones and to foolish ones. 15 So, as it depends on me, I am eager to proclaim the gospel also to you, the ones in Rome.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to all the ones believing, both to the Jew first and to the Greek. 17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, “But the righteous one will live by faith.”

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, the ones holding back the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is visible to them, for God made it visible to them. 20 For his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and divine nature, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For having known God, they did not glorify him as God, nor did they give him thanks. Instead, they became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise ones, they became foolish, 23 and exchanged the glory of the imperishable God for a likeness of an image of perishable man, and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things.

24 Therefore, God gave them over to the lusts of their hearts for uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies among themselves; 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creation instead of the Creator, who is blessed to eternity. Amen.

26 For this reason, God gave them over to passions of dishonor, for both their females exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature, 27 and likewise, the males also, having left the natural use of the female, burned in their lust for one another, male with male producing shameless acts and receiving in themselves the penalty which was necessary for their perversion.

28 And just as they did not approve of having God in their full awareness, God gave them over to a disapproved mind, to do the things that are not proper, 29 filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, and malice, they are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and evil intent. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 senseless, faithless, heartless, and merciless. 32 Who, having fully known the righteous decree of God, that the ones practicing such things are worthy of death, they not only do these things, but they also give consent to the ones practicing them.
