10 Beseeching that, if the way is open to me by the will of God, I may come to you. always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.

13 Now I want you to know, my brethren, that often I have wanted to come to you, but I have been prevented thus far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles, I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Greeks and Barbarians, the wise and the unwise; for it is my duty to preach to everybody. I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes; whether they are Jews first, or Arameans (Syrians). For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The righteous shall live by faith. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifested to them for God has revealed it unto them. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20 For, from the very creation of the world, the invisible things of God have been clearly seen and understood by his creations, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For they knew God and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginations, and their hearts were darkened so that they could not understand. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 And while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools, Claiming to be wise, they became fools, Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 And they have changed the glory of the uncorruptible God for an image made in the likeness of corruptible man, and in the likeness of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things on the earth. and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 That is why God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 And they have changed the truth of God for lies, and worshipped and served the created things more than their Creator to whom belong glory and blessings for ever. Amen. because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Therefore God has given them up to vile passions: for even their women have changed the natural use of their sex into that which is unnatural: For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
27 And likewise also their men have left the natural use of the women and have run wild with lust toward one another, male with male committing shameful acts, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error. and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And as they did not consent in themselves to know God, God has given them over to a weak mind, to do the things which should not be done; as, And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29 Being filled with all manner of iniquity, fornication, bitterness, malice, extortion, envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil thoughts, They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 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,
30 Slanderers, backbiters, haters of God, revilers, proud boasters, inventors of evil things, the weak-minded, disobedient to their parents; slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31 These have no respect for a covenant. They know neither love nor peace, nor is there mercy in them; foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32 Knowing the judgment of God, that those who commit such things, he condemns to death, they not only do them, but also associate with those who practice them. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
