Lettera ai Romani - Romans 1

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Παυλος, δουλος Ιησου Χριστου, προσκεκλημενος αποστολος, κεχωρισμενος δια το ευαγγελιον του Θεου,	1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 το οποιον προυπεσχεθη δια των προφητων αυτου εν ταις αγιαις γραφαις,	2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 περι του Υιου αυτου, οστις εγεννηθη εκ σπερματος Δαβιδ κατα σαρκα,	3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
4 και απεδειχθη Υιος Θεου εν δυναμει κατα το πνευμα της αγιωσυνης δια της εκ νεκρων αναστασεως, Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων,	4 Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;
5 δια του οποιου ελαβομεν χαριν και αποστολην εις υπακοην πιστεως παντων των εθνων υπερ του ονοματος αυτου,	5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
6 μεταξυ των οποιων εισθε και σεις προσκεκλημενοι του Ιησου Χριστου,	6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 προς παντας τους οντας εν Ρωμη αγαπητους του Θεου, προσκεκλημενους αγιους, χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.	7 To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Πρωτον μεν ευχαριστω τον Θεον μου δια Ιησου Χριστου υπερ παντων υμων, διοτι η πιστις σας κηρυττεται εν ολω τω κοσμω.	8 First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
9 Επειδη μαρτυς μου ειναι ο Θεος, τον οποιον λατρευω δια του πνευματος μου εν τω ευαγγελιω του Υιου αυτου, οτι αδιαλειπτως σας ενθυμουμαι,	9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;
10 δεομενος παντοτε εν ταις προσευχαις μου να αξιωθω ηδη ποτε δια του θεληματος του Θεου να ελθω προς εσας.	10 Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
11 Διοτι επιποθω να σας ιδω, δια να σας μεταδωσω χαρισμα τι πνευματικον προς στηριξιν υμων,	11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
12 τουτο δε ειναι, το να συμπαρηγορηθω μεταξυ σας δια της κοινης πιστεως υμων τε και εμου.	12 That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
13 Δεν θελω δε να αγνοητε, αδελφοι, οτι πολλακις εμελετησα να ελθω προς εσας, εμποδισθην ομως μεχρι τουδε, δια να απολαυσω καρπον τινα και μεταξυ σας, καθως και μεταξυ των λοιπων εθνων.	13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 Χρεωστης ειμαι προς Ελληνας τε και βαρβαρους, σοφους τε και ασοφους?	14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
15 ουτω προθυμος ειμαι το κατ' εμε να κηρυξω το ευαγγελιον και προς εσας τους εν Ρωμη.	15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
16 Διοτι δεν αισχυνομαι το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου? επειδη ειναι δυναμις Θεου προς σωτηριαν εις παντα τον πιστευοντα Ιουδαιον τε, πρωτον και Ελληνα.	16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
17 Διοτι δι' αυτου αποκαλυπτεται η δικαιοσυνη του Θεου εκ πιστεως εις πιστιν, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ο δε δικαιος θελει ζησει εκ πιστεως.	17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
18 Διοτι οργη Θεου αποκαλυπτεται απ' ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων, οιτινες κατακρατουσι την αληθειαν εν αδικια.	18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
19 Επειδη ο, τι δυναται να γνωρισθη περι Θεου ειναι φανερον εν αυτοις, διοτι ο Θεος εφανερωσε τουτο προς αυτους.	19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
20 Επειδη τα αορατα αυτου βλεπονται φανερως απο κτισεως κοσμου νοουμενα δια των ποιηματων, η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και η θειοτης, ωστε αυτοι ειναι αναπολογητοι.	20 For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.
21 Διοτι γνωρισαντες τον Θεον, δεν εδοξασαν ως Θεον ουδε ευχαριστησαν, αλλ' εματαιωθησαν εν τοις διαλογισμοις αυτων, και εσκοτισθη η ασυνετος αυτων καρδια?	21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 λεγοντες οτι ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν,	22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 και ηλλαξαν την δοξαν του αφθαρτου Θεου εις ομοιωμα εικονος φθαρτου ανθρωπου και πετεινων και τετραποδων και ερπετων.	23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
24 Δια τουτο και παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος δια των επιθυμιων των καρδιων αυτων εις ακαθαρσιαν, ωστε να ατιμαζωνται τα σωματα αυτων μεταξυ αυτων.	24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
25 Οιτινες μετηλλαξαν την αληθειαν του Θεου εις το ψευδος, και εσεβασθησαν και ελατρευσαν την κτισιν μαλλον παρα τον κτισαντα, οστις ειναι ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας? αμην.	25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 Δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος εις παθη ατιμιας? διοτι και αι γυναικες αυτων μετηλλαξαν την φυσικην χρησιν εις την παρα φυσιν?	26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
27 ομοιως δε και οι ανδρες, αφησαντες την φυσικην χρησιν της γυναικος, εξεκαυθησαν εις την επιθυμιαν αυτων προς αλληλους, πραττοντες την ασχημοσυνην αρσενες εις αρσενας και απολαμβανοντες εις εαυτους την πρεπουσαν αντιμισθιαν της πλανης αυτων.	27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
28 Και καθως απεδοκιμασαν το να εχωσιν επιγνωσιν του Θεου, παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Θεος εις αδοκιμον νουν, ωστε να πραττωσι τα μη πρεποντα,	28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 πληρεις οντες πασης αδικιας, πορνειας, πονηριας, πλεονεξιας, κακιας, γεμοντες φθονου, φονου, εριδος, δολου, κακοηθειας?	29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
30 ψιθυρισται, καταλαλοι, μισοθεοι, υβρισται, υπερηφανοι, αλαζονες, εφευρεται κακων, απειθεις εις τους γονεις,	30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 ασυνετοι, παραβαται συνθηκων, ασπλαγχνοι, αδιαλλακτοι, ανελεημονες?	31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 οιτινες ενω γνωριζουσι την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου, οτι οι πραττοντες τα τοιαυτα ειναι αξιοι θανατου, ουχι μονον πραττουσιν αυτα, αλλα και συνευδοκουσιν εις τους πραττοντας.	32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
