\subsection{Romans 1}
\VS{1} I, Paul, [a] slave of Christ Jesus, [a] called apostle having been set apart to 
the good-news of God, 
\VS{2} which he promised before through his prophets 
in [the] holy scriptures, 
\VS{3} concerning his son having come to be from [the] seed 
of David according to [the] flesh, 
\VS{4} the [one] having been designated\footnote{or 
``appointed'', ``determined''} son of God with power according to [the] spirit of 
holiness from the resurrection of [the] dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 
\VS{5} through whom we receive grace and apostleship to [the] obedience of faith in all 
the nations in behalf of [his] name, 
\VS{6} in whom you also are called-[ones] of Jesus 
Christ, 
\VS{7} to all those being in Rome agape-beloved of God, to the holy, 
called [ones], grace to you and peace from God our father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

\VS{8} First indeed I thank my God through Jesus Christ concerning all [of you], 
because your faith is proclaimed in the whole world. 
\VS{9} For God is my 
witness, to whom I minister in my spirit in the good-news of his son, as 
unceasingly I do remembrance [of you] 
\VS{10} always in my prayers, asking whether 
at last I will succeed in my wish of God to come to you. 
\VS{11} For I 
strain to see you, in order that I impart\footnote{or ``share''} some 
spiritual gift\footnote{from GRACE} to you to your being 
established\footnote{or ``strengthened''}. 
\VS{12} And this is to receive 
encouragement together among you through your and my faith in one another. 
\VS{13} So I do not want you to be being ignorant, brothers, that I often 
purposed to come to you, and I was hindered until now, in order that I have 
some gift also among you, just as also among the rest of the nations. 
\VS{14} To both Greek and foreigner, to both wise and unintelligent am I [a] 
debtor; 
\VS{15} thus is the desire in me for you also in Rome to be 
good-newsed. 
\VS{16} For I am not ashamed of the good-news; for it is the 
power of God to salvation to all believing, to [the] Jew first and also to [the] 
Greek. 
\VS{17} For [the] justice of God is revealed by him from faith to faith, 
just as it is written\footnote{Hab.2:3,4}: For the just will zoe-live\fnZoe{} by faith. 
\VS{18} For the 
anger of God is revealed from heaven upon all irreverence and injustice of 
those men suppressing\footnote{or ``restraining''} the truth in\footnote{or 
``by''} injustice; for God has manifested [them] to\footnote{or ``in''} them. 
\VS{20} For the [things] unseen [about] him, which are known from the creation of [the] world, 
are perceived in the [things] made, both his eternal power and [his] God-hood, so that 
they are without defense, 
\VS{21} because knowing God they did not glorify 
or thank [him] as God, but were given over to futility in their reasonings, and 
their non-understanding heart was darkened. 
\VS{22} Asserting to be wise 
they were made foolish\footnote{or ``shown foolish''}, 
\VS{23} and they 
changed the glory of incorruptible God into the likeness of [the] image of 
corruptible man and birds and four-footed [things] and reptiles. 
\VS{24} Therefore 
God delivered them up in the lusts of their hearts to the uncleanness of 
dishonoring their bodies among themselves. 
\VS{25} They themselves exchanged 
the truth of God for the false, and worshipped and ministered to the 
creation instead of the creator, who is blessed to the ages, Amen. 
\VS{26} Because of this God delivered them up to passion of dishonor, for their 
females exchanged the natural use for that contrary to nature. 
\VS{27} 
Likewise also the males having left the natural use of the females exchanged 
[it] in their longings for one another --- men among men doing the shameless 
[thing] and receiving the penalty which they must of their deceit in themselves. 
\VS{28} And just as they did not approve to be having God in [their] knowledge, God 
delivered them up to [an] unsound mind, to be doing the [things] not being fit, 
\VS{29} filled with every unjust pernicious greedy evil, full of jealousy, murder, 
strife, treachery, malice, gossip, 
\VS{30} slanderers, God-haters, insolent, 
arrogant, braggarts, contrivers of evil, disobedient to parents, 
\VS{31} not 
understanding, not bound by agreements, not [having] natural affection, not 
merciful, 
\VS{32} who knowing the sentence of God, that those practicing 
such are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve of those 
practicing [them].
