1 Sha’ul, a servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ, a called emissary, separated to the Good News of Elohim,
2 which He promised before through His neḇi’im in the Qodesh Scriptures,
3 concerning His Bĕn, who came of the seed of Dawiḏ according to the flesh,
4 who was designated Bĕn of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 with power, according to the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh, by the resurrection from the dead: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ, the Aḏon of us,
5 through whom we have received favour and office of the emissary for belief-obedience among all the nations on behalf of His Name,
6 among whom you also are the called ones of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ.
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of Elohim, called, qodeshim: Favour to you and peace from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Father and the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ.
8 First, I truly thank my Elohim through 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 ha’Mashiaḥ for you all, that your belief is spoken of in all the world.
9 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Good News of His Bĕn, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
10 always asking in my prayers, if at all possible, I shall be baraḵ by the desire of Elohim, to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, so as to impart some spiritual gift to you, for you to be established,
12 and that is, to be encouraged together among you, each by the other’s belief – both yours and mine.
13 And I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often purposed to come to you, but was hindered until now, in order to have some fruit among you, as also among the other gentiles.
14 I am a debtor both to Yawanites and to foreigners, both to wise and to foolish.
15 That is why I am so eager to bring the Good News also to you who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Mashiaḥ, for it is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yahuḏi first and also to the Yawanite.
17 For in it the righteousness of Elohim is revealed from belief to belief, as it has been written, “But the righteous shall live by belief.”
18 For the wrath of Elohim is revealed from the shamayim against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known of Elohim is manifest among them, for Elohim has manifested it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisibilities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power and mightiness, for them to be without excuse,
21 because, although they knew Elohim, they did not esteem Him as Elohim, nor gave thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the esteem of the incorruptible Elohim into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and of four-footed beasts and of reptiles.
24 Therefore Elohim gave them up to uncleanness in the lust of their hearts, to disrespect their bodies among themselves,
25 who changed the truth of Elohim into the falsehood, and worshipped and served what was created rather than the Creator, who is baruḵ forever. Amĕn.
26 Because of this Elohim gave them over to degrading passions. For even their women exchanged natural relations for what is against nature,
27 and likewise, the men also, having left natural relations with woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing indecency, and receiving back the reward which was due for their straying.
28 And even as they did not think it worthwhile to possess the knowledge of Elohim, Elohim gave them over to a worthless mind, to do what is improper,
29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoring, wickedness, greed, evil; filled with envy, murder, fighting, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,
30 slanderers, haters of Elohim, insolent, proud, boasters, devisers of evils, disobedient to parents,
31 without discernment, Covenant breakers, unloving, unforgiving, ruthless;
32 who, though they know the righteousness of Elohim, that those who practise such deserve death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practise them.
