Paulos, a servant of Y'shua the Mashiyach, called and sent, and separated to the gospel of Elohim,

which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

concerning his Son, who was born in the flesh from the seed of the house of Dawid,

and was made known as the Son of Elohim in power and by the Ruach haKodesh, who rose from the house of the dead, Y'shua the Mashiyach our Master,

by whom we received grace and a sending among all the peoples, so that they may obey the faith of his name;

among whom you also are called by Y'shua the Mashiyach;

To all who are in Rome, beloved of Elohim, called and holy: peace and grace be with you, from Elohim our Father and from our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.

First I give thanks to my Elohim through Y'shua the Mashiyach for all of you, that your faith is heard of in all the world.

For Elohim is witness to me, whom I serve in spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I remember you at all times in my prayers.

And I pray that from now a way may be opened for me by the will of Elohim to come to you.

Because I long much to see you and give you a gift of the spirit by which you may be strengthened.

And together we may be comforted in the faith that is yours and mine.

But I want you to know, my brothers, that many times I have desired to come to you, and I have been hindered until now, so that I might have fruit among you also, as among the rest of the peoples.

Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every person I am a debtor to proclaim to him.

And so I am eager to proclaim also to you who are in Rome.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Elohim for life to all who believe in it, whether first from the Yehudaye and whether from the Aramaye.

For the righteousness of Elohim is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written: The righteous by faith will live.

For the wrath of Elohim is revealed from heaven against all the iniquity and wickedness of the sons of men, those who hold the truth in iniquity.

Because the knowledge of Elohim is revealed in them; for Elohim has revealed it in them.

For the hidden things of Elohim, from the foundation of the world, are seen by the intellect in the things he created, even his power and his divinity that is forever, so that they might be without excuse;

because they knew Elohim, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as Elohim, but became empty in their thoughts, and their heart that does not understand was darkened.

And while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.

And they changed the glory of Elohim that does not corrupt into the likeness of the image of a man that corrupts, and into the likeness of birds and of four-footed creatures and of creeping things of the earth.

Because of this Elohim gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.

And they changed the truth of Elohim into a lie, and worshipped and served the created things more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessings forever and ever. Amen.

For this reason Elohim gave them over to shameful passions: for their females changed the natural use of their nature, and used what is not fitting.

And likewise also their males left the natural use of the female and burned with lust one for another, and male with male they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the recompense that was due for their error.

And as they did not determine in themselves to know Elohim, Elohim gave them over to a worthless mind, so that they would do what is not proper,

being filled with all iniquity and sexual immorality and bitterness and malice and greed and envy and murder and strife and deceit and evil schemes,

and whisperers and slanderers, haters of Elohim, insolent, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, lacking sense, not obedient to their parents,

and who have no covenant, nor affection, nor peace, and in whom there is no compassion.

These, while they know the judgment of Elohim, that he condemns to death those who practice such things, are not only doers of them, but also companions of those who do them.
