Romans 1:16-32 BBE
(16) 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.
(17) 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.
(18) 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;
(19) Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.
(20) 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:
(21) 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.
(22) Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish,
(23) 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.
(24) For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:
(25) 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.
(26) For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:
(27) 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.
(28) 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;
(29) 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;
(30) Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,
(31) Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:
(32) 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.
Romans 1:16-32 LITV
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek;
(17) for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by faith." Hab. 2:4
(18) For God's wrath is revealed from Heaven on all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, holding the truth in unrighteousness,
(19) because the thing known of God is clearly known within them, for God revealed it to them.
(20) For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.
(21) Because knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful. But they became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened.
(22) Professing to be wise, they became foolish
(23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
(24) Because of this, God gave them up to impurity in the lusts of their hearts, their bodies to be dishonored among themselves,
(25) who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
(26) Because of this, God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for even their females changed the natural use to that contrary to nature.
(27) And likewise, the males also forsaking the natural use of the female burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving back within themselves the reward which was fitting for their error.
(28) And even as they did not think fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things not right,
(29) having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, iniquity, covetousness, malice, being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers,
(30) slanderers, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, devisers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) without discernment, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful,
(32) who knowing the righteous order of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those practicing them.
Romans 1:16-32 YLT
(16) for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
(17) For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'
(18) for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.
(19) Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest it to them,
(20) for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead--to their being inexcusable;
(21) because, having known God they did not glorify Him as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,
(22) professing to be wise, they were made fools,
(23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
(24) Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;
(25) who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.
(26) Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;
(27) and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
(28) And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
(29) having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
(30) evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
(31) unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
(32) who the righteous judgment of God having known--that those practising such things are worthy of death--not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them.
