| Romans 1:13 | But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also. | Now I don't desire to have you unaware, brothers, that often I planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles. | And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you though until now I have been disappointed in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations. |

| Romans 1:18 | For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness. | For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness, | For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry: |
| Romans 1:19 | Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them, | because that which is known by God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. | because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them. |
| Romans 1:20 | for from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, so as to render them inexcusable. | For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. | For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections namely His eternal power and divine nature have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. |
| Romans 1:21 | Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened: | Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. | For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened. |
| Romans 1:22 | professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, | Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, | While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools, |
| Romans 1:23 | and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles. | and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. | and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles. |
| Romans 1:24 | Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between themselves: | Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, | For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity. |
| Romans 1:25 | who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. Amen. | who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. | For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator He who is for ever blessed. Amen. |
| Romans 1:26 | For this reason God gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature; | For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. | This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also, |
| Romans 1:27 | and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit. | Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. | in just the same way neglecting that for which nature intends women burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct. |
| Romans 1:28 | And according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things; | Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; | And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done. |
| Romans 1:29 | being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, | being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, | Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful. |
| Romans 1:30 | back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, | backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, | They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense, |
| Romans 1:31 | void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful; | without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; | faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity. |
| Romans 1:32 | who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them]. | who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practice them. | In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them. |
