Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called an apostle, set apart for God's gospel.
2. which he promised beforehand through his prophets in holy scriptures,
3. concerning his Son, born from the seed of David according to the flesh,
4. who was designated the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
5. Through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience from faith among all the nations, for the sake of his name.
6. Among whom you also are called by Jesus Christ.
7. To all who are in Rome, God's beloved, called saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. First, indeed, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
9. For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I remember you.
10. always in my prayers, imploring if somehow now at last I may succeed by God's will in coming to you.
11. For I long to see you, so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you for your strengthening.
12. That is, to be encouraged together with you through one another's faith, both yours and mine.
13. I do not wish you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you but was hindered until now, so that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.
14. I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and foolish.
15. So, for my part, I am ready also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes—to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17. For God's righteousness is revealed in it from faith to faith, as it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18. For God's wrath is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who restrain the truth in unrighteousness.
19. because what is known about God is evident in them, for God revealed it to them.
20. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived through things made—even his eternal power and divinity—so they are inexcusable.
21. Because, though they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks, but grew futile in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.
22. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.
23. and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for a likeness of an image of corruptible man, and birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
24. Therefore God handed them over in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, for their bodies to be dishonored among themselves.
25. who exchanged God's truth for a lie, worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26. For this reason God delivered them to dishonorable passions, for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is contrary to nature.
27. Likewise also the men, having forsaken the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men performing unseemliness with men and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their delusion.
28. And just as they did not approve having God in their knowledge, God delivered them to a worthless mind, to do the things that are not proper.
29. Having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity, whisperers.
30. backbiters, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents
31. foolish, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful
32. who, knowing God's judgment that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
