16 Non enim erubesco evangelium: virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti,Iudaeo primum et Graeco.	16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.
17 Iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem,sicut scriptum est: “ Iustus autem ex fide vivet ”.	17 For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”

20 Invisibilia enimipsius a creatura mundi per ea, quae facta sunt, intellecta conspiciuntur,sempiterna eius et virtus et divinitas, ut sint inexcusabiles;	20 For unseen things about him have been made conspicuous, since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that were made; likewise his everlasting virtue and divinity, so much so that they have no excuse.
21 quia, cumcognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt aut gratias egerunt, sedevanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum.	21 For although they had known God, they did not glorify God, nor give thanks. Instead, they became weakened in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was obscured.
22 Dicentes se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt,	22 For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish.
23 et mutaverunt gloriamincorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis et volucrumet quadrupedum et serpentium.	23 And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents.
24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in concupiscentiis cordis eorum inimmunditiam, ut ignominia afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis,	24 For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves.
25 quicommutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturaepotius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in saecula. Amen.	25 And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen.
26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae. Nam et feminae eorumimmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum, qui est contra naturam;	26 Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.
27 similiter etmasculi, relicto naturali usu feminae, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem,masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes et mercedem, quam oportuit, errorissui in semetipsis recipientes.	27 And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.
28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere innotitia, tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant, quae non conveniunt,	28 And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:
29 repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia,homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate, susurrones,	29 having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malice, gossiping;
30 detractores, Deoodibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus nonoboedientes,	30 slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, sine misericordia.	31 foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 Qui cum iudicium Dei cognovissent, quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte,non solum ea faciunt, sed et consentiunt facientibus.	32 And these, though they had known the justice of God, did not understand that those who act in such a manner are deserving of death, and not only those who do these things, but also those who consent to what is done.
