罗马书 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
神的福音
1 我[a]保罗做基督耶稣的奴仆、蒙召的使徒，是为了神的福音被分别出来的。 2 这福音是神先前藉着他的先知们，在圣经上所应许的， 3 是关于他的儿子——我们的主耶稣基督的。照着肉身说，他出自大卫的后裔； 4 照着圣洁的灵[b]说，藉着从死人中复活，他被显明是神大能的儿子。 5 我们从他领受了恩典和使徒的职份，为了他名的缘故，要在万民中带来信仰上的顺从； 6 其中也有你们这些蒙召唤、属耶稣基督的人。
7 致所有在罗马、蒙神所爱、蒙召成为圣徒的人：
愿恩典与平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督临到你们！
保罗渴望到罗马去
8 首先，我藉着耶稣基督，为你们各位感谢我的神，因为你们的忠信被传遍全世界。 9 事实上，神——就是我在他儿子的福音工作上用心灵所事奉的那一位，可以为我见证：我怎样不住地提到你们， 10 在我的祷告中总是祈求，或许可以照着神的旨意，终有一天能顺利地到你们那里去； 11 因为我切切地想见到你们，好把一些属灵的恩赐分给你们，使你们得以坚固。 12 这就是说，在你们那里，藉着你们和我里面彼此的信仰，大家可以同得鼓励。
13 弟兄们，我不愿意你们不明白：我多次计划到你们那里去，为要在你们那里也得一些果实，就像我在其他外邦人中那样，可是直到如今还受到拦阻。 14 无论是希腊人或是外族人[c]，有智慧的或是无知的，我都对他们有责任[d]。 15 因此，我愿意尽我所能，把福音也传给你们在罗马的人。
义人将因信而活
16 的确，我不以[e]福音为耻，因为这福音是神的大能，把救恩带给一切相信的人，先是犹太人、后是外邦人[f]。 17 原来，神的义就在这福音上显明出来——本于信，以至于信，正如经上所记：“义人将因信而活。”[g]
世人的罪
18 要知道，人用不公义抵挡真理，神的震怒就从天上显明在人的一切不敬虔和不公义上。 19 实际上，有关神的事，人所能知道的，在他们里面是清清楚楚的，因为神已经向他们显明了。 20 原来，自从创世以来，神那不可见的本性，就是他永恒的大能和神性，都藉着所造之物，被人明白、被人看见，以致使人无法推诿。 21 所以人是已经知道神的，但是却不把他当做神来荣耀他，也不感谢他；相反，他们在思想上变得虚妄，他们无知的心就昏暗了。 22 他们自称是有智慧的，却成了愚拙， 23 甚至用偶像，就是会朽坏的人、飞禽、走兽、爬行动物的形像，来取代那不朽之神的荣耀。
24 因此，神任凭他们顺着心中的情欲去做污秽的事，以致彼此玷污自己的身体。 25 他们用虚假取代神的真理，去崇拜、事奉被造之物，而不事奉造物之主——主是当受颂赞的，直到永远！阿们。
人类的堕落
26 为此，神任凭他们陷入可耻的情欲，连他们的女人也把天性的功用变为违反天性的； 27 同样，男人也放弃了女人天性的功用，彼此之间欲火中烧，男人与男人做出羞耻的事，就在自己身上[h]受到他们的妄为[i]所应得的报应。
28 既然人不愿意真正认识神，神就任凭他们存败坏的理性，去做那些不该做的事。 29 他们充满了各种不义、[j]邪恶、贪心、恶毒；满心是嫉妒、凶杀、纷争、欺诈、狠毒；他们搬弄是非、 30 诽谤人、憎恨神、侮慢人、骄傲、自夸、制造恶行、悖逆父母、 31 愚昧无知、不守信用、没有亲情、[k]毫无怜悯。 32 人虽然知道神的公义规定是：行这样事的人是该死的；然而他们不仅自己去做，还赞同做这些事的人。
Romans 1
King James Version
1 Paul, 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,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God 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 nations, for his name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 To 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.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For 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;
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God 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 gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16 For 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.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed 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 Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because 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.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God 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 meet.
28 And 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;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who 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.
Romans 1
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)a servant[a] of Christ Jesus, (B)called to be an apostle, (C)set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which (D)he promised beforehand (E)through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, (F)who was descended from David[b] (G)according to the flesh 4 and (H)was declared to be the Son of God (I)in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom (J)we have received grace and (K)apostleship (L)to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name (M)among all the nations, 6 including you who are (N)called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
(O)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Longing to Go to Rome
8 First, (P)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, (Q)because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 (R)For God is my witness, (S)whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, (T)that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow (U)by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For (V)I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged (W)by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[c] that (X)I have often intended to come to you (but (Y)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some (Z)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 (AA)I am under obligation both to Greeks and to (AB)barbarians,[d] both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
16 For (AC)I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is (AD)the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew (AE)first and also to (AF)the Greek. 17 For in it (AG)the righteousness of God is revealed (AH)from faith for faith,[e] (AI)as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”[f]
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For (AJ)the wrath of God (AK)is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be (AL)known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, (AM)have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they (AN)became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 (AO)Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and (AP)exchanged the glory of (AQ)the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore (AR)God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to (AS)the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for (AT)a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, (AU)who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason (AV)God gave them up to (AW)dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, (AX)men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, (AY)God gave them up to (AZ)a debased mind to do (BA)what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know (BB)God's righteous decree that those who practice such things (BC)deserve to die, they not only do them but (BD)give approval to those who practice them.
