로마서 1

1예수 그리스도의 종 바울은 사도로 부르심을 받아 하나님의 복음을 위하여 택정함을 입었으니 2이 복음은 하나님이 선지자들로 말미암아 그의 아들에 관하여 성경에 미리 약속하신 것이라 3이 아들로 말하면 육신으로는 다윗의 혈통에서 나셨고 4성결의 영으로는 죽은 가운데서 부활하여 능력으로 하나님의 아들로 인정되셨으니 곧 우리 주 예수 그리스도시니라 5그로 말미암아 우리가 은혜와 사도의 직분을 받아 그 이름을 위하여 모든 이방인 중에서 믿어 순종케 하나니 6너희도 그들 중에 있어 예수 그리스도의 것으로 부르심을 입은 자니라 7로마에 있어 하나님의 사랑하심을 입고 성도로 부르심을 입은 모든 자에게 하나님 우리 아버지와 주 예수 그리스도로 좇아 은혜와 평강이 있기를 원한노라 8첫째는 내가 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 너희 모든 사람을 인하여 내 하나님께 감사함은 너희 믿음이 온 세상에 전파됨이로다 9내가 그의 아들의 복음 안에서 내 심령으로 섬기는 하나님이 나의 증인이 되시거니와 항상 내 기도에 쉬지 않고 너희를 말하며 10어떠하든지 이제 하나님의 뜻 안에서 너희에게로 나아갈 좋은 길 얻기를 구하노라 11내가 너희 보기를 심히 원하는 것은 무슨 신령한 은사를 너희에게 나눠 주어 너희를 견고케 하려 함이니 12이는 곧 내가 너희 가운데서 너희와 나의 믿음을 인하여 피차 안위함을 얻으려 함이라 13형제들아 내가 여러 번 너희에게 가고자 한 것을 너희가 모르기를 원치 아니하노니 이는 너희 중에서도 다른 이방인 중에서와 같이 열매를 맺게 하려 함이로되 지금까지 길이 막혔도다 14헬라인이나 야만이나 지혜 있는 자나 어리석은 자에게 다 내가 빚진 자라 15그러므로 나는 할 수 있는 대로 로마에 있는 너희에게도 복음 전하기를 원하노라 16내가 복음을 부끄러워하지 아니하노니 이 복음은 모든 믿는 자에게 구원을 주시는 하나님의 능력이 됨이라 첫째는 유대인에게요 또한 헬라인에게로다 17복음에는 하나님의 의가 나타나서 믿음으로 믿음에 이르게 하나니 기록된 바 오직 의인은 믿음으로 말미암아 살리라 함과 같으니라 18하나님의 진노가 불의로 진리를 막는 사람들의 모든 경건치 않음과 불의에 대하여 하늘로 좇아 나타나나니 19이는 하나님을 알 만한 것이 저희 속에 보임이라 하나님께서 이를 저희에게 보이셨느니라 20창세로부터 그의 보이지 아니하는 것들 곧 그의 영원하신 능력과 신성이 그 만드신 만물에 분명히 보여 알게 되나니 그러므로 저희가 핑계치 못할지니라 21하나님을 알되 하나님으로 영화롭게도 아니하며 감사치도 아니하고 오히려 그 생각이 허망하여지며 미련한 마음이 어두워졌나니 22스스로 지혜 있다 하나 우준하게 되어 23썩어지지 아니하는 하나님의 영광을 썩어질 사람과 금수와 버러지 형상의 우상으로 바꾸었느니라 24그러므로 하나님께서 저희를 마음의 정욕대로 더러움에 내어 버려두사 저희 몸을 서로 욕되게 하셨으니 25이는 저희가 하나님의 진리를 거짓 것으로 바꾸어 피조물을 조물주보다 더 경배하고 섬김이라 주는 곧 영원히 찬송할 이시로다 아멘 26이를 인하여 하나님께서 저희를 부끄러운 욕심에 내어 버려 두셨으니 곧 저희 여인들도 순리대로 쓸 것을 바꾸어 역리로 쓰며 27이와 같이 남자들도 순리대로 여인 쓰기를 버리고 서로 향하여 음욕이 불 일듯 하매 남자가 남자로 더불어 부끄러운 일을 행하여 저희의 그릇됨에 상당한 보응을 그 자신에 받았느니라 28또한 저희가 마음에 하나님 두기를 싫어하매 하나님께서 저희를 그 상실한 마음대로 내어 버려 두사 합당치 못한 일을 하게 하셨으니 29곧 모든 불의, 추악, 탐욕, 악의가 가득한 자요 시기, 살인, 분쟁, 사기, 악독이 가득한 자요 수군수군 하는 자요 30비방하는 자요 하나님의 미워하시는 자요 능욕하는 자요 교만한 자요 자랑하는 자요 악을 도모하는 자요 부모를 거역하는 자요 31우매한 자요 배약하는 자요 무정한 자요 무자비한 자라 32저희가 이같은 일을 행하는 자는 사형에 해당하다고 하나님의 정하심을 알고도 자기들만 행할 뿐 아니라 또한 그 일을 행하는 자를 옳다 하느니라

1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, 2which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake; 6among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ; 7to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. 9For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. 11For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; 12that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome. 16For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. 17For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 20For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. 21Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. 24Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, 25who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. 28Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, 30backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

1Paulus, een dienstknecht van Jezus Christus, een geroepen apostel, afgezonderd tot het Evangelie van God, 2(Hetwelk Hij te voren beloofd had door Zijn profeten, in de heilige Schriften) 3Van Zijn Zoon,, Die geworden is uit het zaad van David, naar het vlees; 4Die krachtelijk bewezen is te zijn de Zoon van God, naar den Geest der heiligmaking, uit de opstanding der doden) namelijk Jezus Christus, onzen Heere: 5(Door Welken wij hebben ontvangen genade en het apostelschap, tot gehoorzaamheid des geloofs onder al de heidenen, voor Zijn Naam; 6Onder welken gij ook zijt, geroepenen van Jezus Christus!) 7Allen, die te Rome zijt, geliefden Gods, en geroepen heiligen, genade zij u, en vrede van God, onzen Vader, en den Heere Jezus Christus. 8Eerstelijk dank ik mijn God door Jezus Christus over u allen, dat uw geloof verkondigd wordt in de gehele wereld. 9Want God is mijn Getuige, Welken ik diene in mijn geest, in het Evangelie Zijns Zoons, hoe ik zonder nalaten uwer gedenke; 10Allen tijd in mijn gebeden biddende, of mogelijk mij nog te eniger tijd goede gelegenheid gegeven werd, door den wil van God, om tot ulieden te komen. 11Want ik verlang om u te zien, opdat ik u enige geestelijke gave mocht mededelen, ten einde gij versterkt zoudt worden; 12Dat is, om mede vertroost te worden onder u, door het onderlinge geloof, zo het uwe als het mijne. 13Doch ik wil niet, dat u onbekend zij, broeders, dat ik menigmaal voorgenomen heb tot u te komen (en ben tot nog toe verhinderd geweest), opdat ik ook onder u enige vrucht zou hebben, gelijk als ook onder de andere heidenen. 14Beiden Grieken en Barbaren, beiden wijzen en onwijzen ben ik een schuldenaar. 15Alzo hetgeen in mij is, dat is volvaardig, om u ook, die te Rome zijt, het Evangelie te verkondigen. 16Want ik schaam mij des Evangelies van Christus niet; want het is een kracht Gods tot zaligheid een iegelijk, die gelooft, eerst den Jood, en ook den Griek. 17Want de rechtvaardigheid Gods wordt in hetzelve geopenbaard uit geloof tot geloof; gelijk geschreven is: Maar de rechtvaardige zal uit het geloof leven. 18Want de toorn Gods wordt geopenbaard van den hemel over alle goddeloosheid, en ongerechtigheid der mensen, als die de waarheid in ongerechtigheid ten onder houden. 19Overmits hetgeen van God kennelijk is, in hen openbaar is; want God heeft het hun geopenbaard. 20Want Zijn onzienlijke dingen worden, van de schepping der wereld aan, uit de schepselen verstaan en doorzien, beide Zijn eeuwige kracht en Goddelijkheid, opdat zij niet te verontschuldigen zouden zijn. 21Omdat zij, God kennende, Hem als God niet hebben verheerlijkt of gedankt; maar zijn verijdeld geworden in hun overleggingen en hun onverstandig hart is verduisterd geworden; 22Zich uitgevende voor wijzen, zijn zij dwaas geworden; 23En hebben de heerlijkheid des onverderfelijken Gods veranderd in de gelijkenis eens beelds van een verderfelijk mens, en van gevogelte, en van viervoetige en kruipende gedierten. 24Daarom heeft God hen ook overgegeven in de begeerlijkheden hunner harten tot onreinigheid, om hun lichamen onder elkander te onteren; 25Als die de waarheid Gods veranderd hebben in de leugen, en het schepsel geeerd en gediend hebben boven den Schepper, Die te prijzen is in der eeuwigheid, amen. 26Daarom heeft God hen overgegeven tot oneerlijke bewegingen; want ook hun vrouwen hebben het natuurlijk gebruik veranderd in het gebruik tegen nature; 27En insgelijks ook de mannen, nalatende het natuurlijk gebruik der vrouw, zijn verhit geworden in hun lust tegen elkander, mannen met mannen schandelijkheid bedrijvende, en de vergelding van hun dwaling, die daartoe behoorde, in zichzelven ontvangende. 28En gelijk het hun niet goed gedacht heeft God in erkentenis te houden, zo heeft God hen overgegeven in een verkeerden zin, om te doen dingen, die niet betamen; 29Vervuld zijnde met alle ongerechtigheid, hoererij, boosheid, gierigheid, kwaadheid, vol van nijdigheid, moord, twist, bedrog, kwaadaardigheid; 30Oorblazers, achterklappers, haters Gods, smaders, hovaardigen, laatdunkenden, vinders van kwade dingen, den ouderen ongehoorzaam; 31Onverstandigen, verbondbrekers, zonder natuurlijke liefde, onverzoenlijken, onbarmhartigen; 32Dewelken, daar zij het recht Gods weten,, namelijk, dat degenen, die zulke dingen doen, des doods waardig zijn) niet alleen dezelve doen, maar ook mede een welgevallen hebben in degenen, die ze doen.
