13And, brethren, I will not, that ye not know, that oft I purposed to come to you, and I am hindered till this time, that I have some fruit in you, as in other folks. (And brothers, I do not desire, that ye do not know, that I often planned to come to you, but I am hindered until this time, so that I can have some fruit in you, as I have in other nations and peoples.)
14To Greeks and to barbarians, to wise men and to unwise men, I am (a) debtor,
15so that that is in me is ready to preach the gospel or to evangelize also to you that be at Rome.
16For I shame not the gospel, for it is the virtue of God into health, to each man that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek. (For I am not ashamed of the Gospel or the Good News, for it is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone who believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.)
17For the rightwiseness of God is showed in it, of faith into faith, as it is written, For a just man liveth of faith.
18For the wrath of God is showed from heaven on all unpiety and wickedness or unrightwiseness of those men, that withhold or that hold aback the truth of God in unrightwiseness.
19For that thing of God that is known, is showed or is made open to them, for God hath showed (it) to them.
20For the invisible things of him, that be understood, be beheld of the creature of the world (or be seen from the creation of the world), by those things that be made, yea, and the everlasting virtue of him (or and his eternal power), and the Godhead, so that they may not be excused or they be unexcusable.
21For when they had known God, they glorified him not as God, neither did thankings (or nor gave thanks); but they vanished in their thoughts, and the unwise heart of them was darked or made dark.
22For they saying that themselves were wise, they were made fools.
23And they (ex)changed the glory of (the) uncorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a deadly or a corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of serpents. (And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible or the immortal God, for the likeness of an image of a mortal man, and those of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of serpents.)
24For which thing God betook them into the desires of their heart (or For which thing God delivered them unto the desires of their hearts), into uncleanness, (so) that they punish with wrongs their bodies in themselves.
25The which men changed the truth of God into leasing (or into lying), and praised and served a creature rather than the Creator, that is blessed into worlds of worlds or into without end. Amen. (And these men changed the truth of God into lies, and praised and served creatures, or the Creation, rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever and ever. Amen.)
26Therefore God betook them into (the) passions of shame or of evil fame. For the women of them changed the natural use into that use that is against kind. (And so God delivered them unto their shameless passions. And their women changed from the natural use, or the natural way, to that way that is against nature.)
27Also the men forsook the kindly use of women, and burned in their desires together, and men into men wrought filthhood, and received into themselves the meed that behooved (them) of their error. (And the men gave up the natural use of women, and burned in their desires for one another, and men with men wrought filthhood, and received unto themselves the reward that they deserved for their error.)
28And as they proved that they had not God in knowing, God betook them into a reprovable wit, that they do those things that be not covenable; (And as they proved that they did not have true knowledge of God, God delivered them unto their corrupted minds, or their corrupted way of thinking, so that they do those things that be not suitable;)
29that they be full-filled with all wickedness (or so that they be filled full with all wickedness), malice, fornication, covetousness, waywardness, full of envy, manslayings, strife, guile, evil will,
