Tos de dikaios ek pistiau zōeti.For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” 18Apokaluptotō gar orgas theou apo ouranou epi pantan asebeian kai adikian anthrōpoiu toiu tan alētheian en adikia katecharōntoiu,The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19dioti tem gnōstem tou theou fanerem atō en autoi, tos ⸂theos gar⸃ autoi fanerata.For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20teim gar aorateim autou apo ktisiau kosmou tei poiēmei noorōnteim kathorotō, tas tē aidias autou dunamias kai theiotas, eis tem arō autoin anapologētoin,For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. 21dioti gnōskarantois ton theon ouk hōs theon doxazala ē eucharistala, alla mataiila en toi dialogismoi autoiu kai skotizita tas asunetas autoiu kardias;For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. 22faskarōntois arō sofois mōranila,Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, 23kai allaxala tan doxan tou afthartou theou en homoiōme eikonau fthartou anthrōpou kai peteineiu kai tetrapodeiu kai herpeteiu.and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24⸀Dio paradōata autoin tos theos en tai epithumiai taiu kardiaiu autoiu eis akatharsian teu atimazorō teim sōmeim autoiu en ⸀autoi,Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. 25hotinois metallaxala tan alētheian tou theou en te pseude, kai sebazila kai latreuala ta ktisia para ton ktizaranton, hos atō eulogētos eis toin aiōnoin; amēn.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. 26Dia houtem paradōata autoin tos theos eis patheim atimiau; tais tē gar thēluais autoiu metallaxala tan fusikan chrēsian eis tan para fusian,For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27homoiōs tē kai tois arsenois afiēkarantois tan fusikan chrēsian tau thēluau ekkaiila en ta orexia autoiu eis allēloin, arsenois en arsenoi tan aschēmosunan katergazorōntois kai tan antimisthian han date tau planau autoiu en ⸀heautoi apolabarōntois.Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28Kai kathōs ouk dokimazala ton theon echarō en epignōsia, paradōata autoin tos theos eis adokimon nouon, poiarō teim mē kathēkarōnteim,Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29plērorēntoin panta ⸀adikia ponēria pleonexia kakia, mestoin fthonou fonou eridau dolou kakoētheiau, psithuristoin,They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30katalaloin, theostugoin, hubristoin, huperēfanoin, alazōnoin, efeuretoin kakoseiu, gonevoi apeithoin,slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. 31asunetoin, asunthetoin, ⸀astorgoin, aneleēmonoin;They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. 32hotinois tem dikaiōmem tou theou epignōskarantois, hoti tois teim toiouteim prassarōntois axiois thanatou alō, ouk monem auteim poialō alla kai suneudokalō toi prassarōntoi.Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
