Romanos 1
Darby Unrevidierte Elberfelder
1Paulus, Knecht Jesu Christi, berufener Apostel, abgesondert zum Evangelium Gottes
2(welches er durch seine Propheten in heiligen Schriften zuvor verheißen hat),
3über seinen Sohn, (der aus dem Samen Davids gekommen ist dem Fleische nach,
4und als Sohn Gottes in Kraft erwiesen dem Geiste der Heiligkeit nach durch Totenauferstehung) Jesum Christum, unseren Herrn,
5(durch welchen wir Gnade und Apostelamt empfangen haben für seinen Namen zum Glaubensgehorsam unter allen Nationen,
6unter welchen auch ihr seid, Berufene Jesu Christi) -
7allen Geliebten Gottes, berufenen Heiligen, die in Rom sind: Gnade euch und Friede von Gott, unserem Vater, und dem Herrn Jesus Christus!
8Aufs erste danke ich meinem Gott durch Jesum Christum euer aller halben, daß euer Glaube verkündigt wird in der ganzen Welt.
9Denn Gott ist mein Zeuge, welchem ich diene in meinem Geiste in dem Evangelium seines Sohnes, wie unablässig ich euer erwähne,
10allezeit flehend bei meinen Gebeten, ob ich nun endlich einmal durch den Willen Gottes so glücklich sein möchte, zu euch zu kommen.
11Denn mich verlangt sehr, euch zu sehen, auf daß ich euch etwas geistliche Gnadengabe mitteilte, um euch zu befestigen,
12daß ist aber, mit euch getröstet zu werden in eurer Mitte, ein jeder durch den Glauben, der in dem anderen ist, sowohl euren als meinen.
13Ich will aber nicht, daß euch unbekannt sei, Brüder, daß ich mir oft vorgesetzt habe, zu euch zu kommen (und bis jetzt verhindert worden bin), auf daß ich auch unter euch einige Frucht haben möchte, gleichwie auch unter den übrigen Nationen.
14Sowohl Griechen als Barbaren, sowohl Weisen als Unverständigen bin ich ein Schuldner.
15Ebenso bin ich, soviel an mir ist, bereitwillig, auch euch, die ihr in Rom seid, das Evangelium zu verkündigen.
16Denn ich schäme mich des Evangeliums nicht, denn es ist Gottes Kraft zum Heil jedem Glaubenden, sowohl dem Juden zuerst als auch dem Griechen.
17Denn Gottes Gerechtigkeit wird darin geoffenbart aus Glauben zu Glauben, wie geschrieben steht: “Der Gerechte aber wird aus Glauben leben”.
18Denn es wird geoffenbart Gottes Zorn vom Himmel her über alle Gottlosigkeit und Ungerechtigkeit der Menschen, welche die Wahrheit in Ungerechtigkeit besitzen;
19weil das von Gott Erkennbare unter ihnen offenbar ist, denn Gott hat es ihnen geoffenbart, -
20denn das Unsichtbare von ihm, sowohl seine ewige Kraft als auch seine Göttlichkeit, die von Erschaffung der Welt an in dem Gemachten wahrgenommen werden, wird geschaut, damit sie ohne Entschuldigung seien;
21weil sie, Gott kennend, ihn weder als Gott verherrlichten, noch ihm Dank darbrachten, sondern in ihren Überlegungen in Torheit verfielen, und ihr unverständiges Herz verfinstert wurde:
22indem sie sich für Weise ausgaben,
23sind sie zu Narren geworden und haben die Herrlichkeit des unverweslichen Gottes verwandelt in das Gleichnis eines Bildes von einem verweslichen Menschen und von Vögeln und von vierfüßigen und kriechenden Tieren.
24Darum hat Gott sie [auch] dahingegeben in den Gelüsten ihrer Herzen in Unreinigkeit, ihre Leiber untereinander zu schänden;
25welche die Wahrheit Gottes in die Lüge verwandelt und dem Geschöpf mehr Verehrung und Dienst dargebracht haben als dem Schöpfer, welcher gepriesen ist in Ewigkeit. Amen.
26Deswegen hat Gott sie dahingegeben in schändliche Leidenschaften; denn sowohl ihre Weiber haben den natürlichen Gebrauch in den unnatürlichen verwandelt,
27als auch gleicherweise die Männer, den natürlichen Gebrauch des Weibes verlassend, in ihrer Wollust zueinander entbrannt sind, indem sie Männer mit Männern Schande trieben und den gebührenden Lohn ihrer Verirrung an sich selbst empfingen.
28Und gleichwie sie es nicht für gut fanden, Gott in Erkenntnis zu haben, hat Gott sie dahingegeben in einen verworfenen Sinn, zu tun, was sich nicht geziemt;
29erfüllt mit aller Ungerechtigkeit, Bosheit, Habsucht, Schlechtigkeit; voll von Neid, Mord, Streit, List, Tücke;
30Ohrenbläser, Verleumder, Gottverhaßte, Gewalttäter, Hochmütige, Prahler, Erfinder böser Dinge, Eltern Ungehorsame,
31Unverständige, Treulose, ohne natürliche Liebe, Unbarmherzige;
32die, wiewohl sie Gottes gerechtes Urteil erkennen, daß, die solches tun, des Todes würdig sind, es nicht allein ausüben, sondern auch Wohlgefallen an denen haben, die es tun.

1PABLO, siervo de Jesucristo, llamado á ser apóstol, apartado para el evangelio de Dios,
2Que él había antes prometido por sus profetas en las santas Escrituras,
3Acerca de su Hijo, (que fué hecho de la simiente de David según la carne;
4El cual fué declarado Hijo de Dios con potencia, según el espíritu de santidad, por la resurrección de los muertos), de Jesucristo Señor nuestro,
5Por el cual recibimos la gracia y el apostolado, para la obediencia de la fe en todas las naciones en su nombre,
6Entre las cuales sois también vosotros, llamados de Jesucristo:
7A todos los que estáis en Roma, amados de Dios, llamados santos: Gracia y paz tengáis de Dios nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.
8Primeramente, doy gracias á mi Dios por Jesucristo acerca de todos vosotros, de que vuestra fe es predicada en todo el mundo.
9Porque testigo me es Dios, al cual sirvo en mi espíritu en el evangelio de su Hijo, que sin cesar me acuerdo de vosotros siempre en mis oraciones,
10Rogando, si al fin algún tiempo haya de tener, por la voluntad de Dios, próspero viaje para ir á vosotros.
11Porque os deseo ver, para repartir con vosotros algún don espiritual, para confirmaros;
12Es á saber, para ser juntamente consolado con vosotros por la común fe vuestra y juntamente mía.
13Mas no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis que muchas veces me he propuesto ir á vosotros (empero hasta ahora he sido estorbado), para tener también entre vosotros algún fruto, como entre los demás Gentiles.
14A Griegos y á bárbaros, á sabios y á no sabios soy deudor.
15Así que, cuanto á mí, presto estoy á anunciar el evangelio también á vosotros que estáis en Roma.
16Porque no me avergüenzo del evangelio: porque es potencia de Dios para salud á todo aquel que cree; al Judío primeramente y también al Griego.
17Porque en él la justicia de Dios se descubre de fe en fe; como está escrito: Mas el justo vivirá por la fe.
18Porque manifiesta es la ira de Dios del cielo contra toda impiedad é injusticia de los hombres, que detienen la verdad con injusticia:
19Porque lo que de Dios se conoce, á ellos es manifiesto; porque Dios se lo manifestó.
20Porque las cosas invisibles de él, su eterna potencia y divinidad, se echan de ver desde la creación del mundo, siendo entendidas por las cosas que son hechas; de modo que son inexcusables:
21Porque habiendo conocido á Dios, no le glorificaron como á Dios, ni dieron gracias; antes se desvanecieron en sus discursos, y el necio corazón de ellos fué entenebrecido.
22Diciéndose ser sabios, se hicieron fatuos,
23Y trocaron la gloria del Dios incorruptible en semejanza de imagen de hombre corruptible, y de aves, y de animales de cuatro pies, y de serpientes.
24Por lo cual también Dios los entregó á inmundicia, en las concupiscencias de sus corazones, de suerte que contaminaron sus cuerpos entre sí mismos:
25Los cuales mudaron la verdad de Dios en mentira, honrando y sirviendo á las criaturas antes que al Criador, el cual es bendito por los siglos. Amén.
26Por esto Dios los entregó á afectos vergonzosos; pues aun sus mujeres mudaron el natural uso en el uso que es contra naturaleza:
27Y del mismo modo también los hombres, dejando el uso natural de las mujeres, se encendieron en sus concupiscencias los unos con los otros, cometiendo cosas nefandas hombres con hombres, y recibiendo en sí mismos la recompensa que convino á su extravío.
28Y como á ellos no les pareció tener á Dios en su noticia, Dios los entregó á una mente depravada, para hacer lo que no conviene,
29Estando atestados de toda iniquidad, de fornicación, de malicia, de avaricia, de maldad; llenos de envidia, de homicidios, de contiendas, de engaños, de malignidades;
30Murmuradores, detractores, aborrecedores de Dios, injuriosos, soberbios, altivos, inventores de males, desobedientes á los padres,
31Necios, desleales, sin afecto natural, implacables, sin misericordia:
32Que, habiendo entendido el juicio de Dios que los que hacen tales cosas son dignos de muerte, no sólo las hacen, mas aun consienten á los que las hacen.
King James Version
1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7To all that be 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 you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13Now 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.
14I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For 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 Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And 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 meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
World English Bible
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 offspring 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, because 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, and didn’t give 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, 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, arrogant, 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.
