New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, separated into the gospel of God [parted into the gospel of God];
|
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God--
|
|
2 which he had promised before by his prophets in holy scriptures
|
2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
|
|
3 of his Son, which is made to him of the seed of David by the flesh, [of his Son, the which is made of the seed of David after the flesh,]
|
3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,
|
|
4 and he was before-ordained the Son of God in virtue, by the Spirit of hallowing of the again-rising of dead men, of Jesus Christ our Lord [+which is predestined, or before-ordained by grace, the Son of God in virtue, after the Spirit of hallowing of the again-rising of dead men, of Jesus Christ our Lord,]
|
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
|
5 by whom we have received grace and the office of apostle [by whom we have received grace and apostlehood, or state of apostle], to obey to the faith in all folks for his name,
|
5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
|
|
6 among which ye be also called of Jesus Christ,
|
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
|
|
7 to all that be at Rome, darlings of God, and called holy, grace to you [to all that be at Rome, the loved of God, called holy, grace be to you], and peace of God our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
|
|
8 First I do thankings to my God, by Jesus Christ, for all you, for your faith is showed in all the world.
|
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
|
|
9 For God is a witness to me, to whom I serve in my spirit, in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mind of you ever in my prayers [whom I serve in my spirit, in the gospel of his Son, for without ceasing I make mind of you evermore in my prayers],
|
9 God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
|
|
10 and beseech [praying], if in any manner sometime I have a speedy way in the will of God to come to you.
|
10 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.
|
|
11 For I desire to see you, to part somewhat to you of spiritual grace [that I give to you something of spiritual grace], that ye be confirmed,
|
11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong--
|
|
12 that is, to be comforted together in you, by [that] faith that is both yours and mine together.
|
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
|
|
13 And, brethren, I will not, that ye not know [that ye unknow], that oft I purposed to come to you, and I am letted [and I am forbidden] till this time, that I have some fruit in you, as [and] in other folks.
|
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
|
|
14 To Greeks and to barbarians, to wise men and to unwise men, I am debtor,
|
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
|
|
15 so that that is in me is ready to preach the gospel also to you that be at Rome.
|
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.
