Romans 1 - Easy To Read Version

1 Greetings from Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus. God called me to be an apostle. {\cf2\super [1]} I was chosen to tell God’s Good News {\cf2\super [2]} to all people.

2-3-4 God promised long ago to give this Good News to his people. God used his prophets {\cf2\super [3]} to promise this. That promise is written in the Holy Scriptures. {\cf2\super [4]}

5 Through Christ, God gave me the special work of an apostle. {\cf2\super [7]} God gave me this work to lead people of all nations to believe and obey God. And I do this work for Christ.

6 And you people in Rome were also called to belong to Jesus Christ.

7 This letter is to all of you in Rome that God has called to be his holy people. {\cf2\super [8]} You are people that God loves.

8-9-10 First I want to say that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you. I thank God because people everywhere in the world are talking about your great faith.

11 I want very much to see you. I want to give you some spiritual gift to make you strong.

12 I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith that we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.

13 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to come to you. But I have not been allowed to come to you. I wanted to come so that I could help you grow spiritually. I want to help you like I have helped the other non-Jewish people.

14 I must serve all people—Greeks and non-Greeks, wise people and foolish people.

15 That is why I want so much to tell the Good News {\cf2\super [10]} to you there in Rome.

16 I am proud of the Good News. The Good News is the power God uses to save every person that believes—to save the Jews first, and also to save the non-Jews.

17 The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself. God’s way of making people right begins and ends with faith. Like the Scripture {\cf2\super [11]} says, “The person that is right with God by faith will live forever.” {\cf2\super [12]}

18 God shows his anger from heaven against all the evil and wrong things that people do. They have the truth, but by their evil lives they hide it.

19 God shows his anger, because everything that is known about God has been made clear to them. Yes, God has clearly shown people everything that is known about him.

20 There are things about God that people cannot see—his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy for people to understand. Those things are made clear in the things that God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do.

21 People knew God. But they did not give glory to God, and they did not thank him. Their ideas were all useless. There was not one good thought left in their foolish minds.

22 People said they were wise, and they became fools.

23 They gave up the glory of God who lives forever. People traded that glory for the worship of idols {\cf2\super [13]} made to look like earthly people. People traded God’s glory for things that look like birds, animals, and snakes.

24 People were full of sin, wanting only to do evil things. So God left them and let them go their sinful way. And so they became full of sexual sins, using their bodies wrongly with each other.

25 Those people traded the truth of God for a lie. Those people worshiped and served things that were made. But people did not worship and serve the God who made those things. God should be praised forever. Amen.

26 Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men. They started having sex with other women.

27 In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women. The men began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other men. And in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrong things they did.

28 People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed those people to have their own worthless thinking. And so those people do the things that they should not do.

29 Those people are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. Those people are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. Those people gossip

30 and say evil things about each other. Those people hate God. They are rude and conceited and boast about themselves. Those people invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents,

31 they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to other people.

32 Those people know God’s law. They know God’s law says that people who live like that should die. But they continue to do those wrong things. And they say that people who do those things are doing right.
