Romans 1 - Word of Yahweh

¹ Paul, a servant of Yahshua the Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated unto the good news of Yahweh,

² Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,

³ Concerning his Son Yahshua the Messiah our Master, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

⁴ And declared to be the Son of Yahweh with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

⁵ By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all Gentiles, for his name:

⁶ Among whom are ye also the called of Yahshua the Messiah:

⁷ To all that be in Rome, beloved of Yahweh, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from Yahweh our Father, and the Master Yahshua the Messiah.

⁸ First, I thank my Elohim through Yahshua the Messiah for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

⁹ For Elohim is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the good news of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

¹⁰ Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of Elohim to come unto you.

¹¹ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

¹² That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

¹³ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, but was let hitherto, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

¹⁴ I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

¹⁵ So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the good news to you that are at Rome also.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good news of the Messiah: for it is the power of Yahweh unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁷ For therein is the righteousness of Yahweh revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

¹⁸ For the wrath of Yahweh is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

¹⁹ Because that which may be known of Elohim is manifest in them; for Elohim hath showed it unto them.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and majesty; so that they are without excuse:

²¹ Because that, when they knew Elohim, they esteemed him not as Yahweh, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the magnificence of the uncorruptible Elohim into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴ Wherefore Elohim also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

²⁵ Who changed the truth of Elohim into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

²⁶ For this cause Elohim gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was fit.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain Elohim in their knowledge, Elohim gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fit;

²⁹ Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰ Backbiters, haters of Yahweh, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

³² Who knowing the judgment of Elohim, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
