| Romans 1:3 | Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh. | About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David, | who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David, |
| Romans 1:4 | And declared to be the Son of God, with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: | But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord, | but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord, |
| Romans 1:5 | By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name: | Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name: | through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples, |
| Romans 1:6 | Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: | Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ: | among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered: |

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |

| Romans 1:9 | 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, | For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers, | I call God to witness to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence, |
| Romans 1:10 | Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you. | And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you. | always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you. |
| Romans 1:11 | For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; | For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong; | For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened; |
| Romans 1:12 | That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me. | That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me. | in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine. |
| Romans 1:13 | Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. | You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations. | 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 1:14 | I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, both to the wise, and to the unwise. | I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning. | I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people: |
| Romans 1:15 | So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. | For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome. | so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome. |
| Romans 1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. | For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek. | For I am not ashamed of the Good News.

| Romans 1:17 | For in this is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. | For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith. | For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith." |
| Romans 1:18 | For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. | For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing; | 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 that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shown it to them. | Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear 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 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: | For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing: | 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 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. | Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark. | 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: | Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish, | While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools, |
| Romans 1:23 | 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 animals. | And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth. | 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 also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: | For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another: | 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 a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. | Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. | 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 cause God gave them up to vile affections. For even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: | For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural: | 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 likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. | And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing. | 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 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; | And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right; | 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, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, | Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others; | 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 | Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents, | Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother, | 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 | Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: | Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy: | faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity. |
| Romans 1:32 | Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. | Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do 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. |
