| 12 that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine. | 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. |
| 13 Now I don't desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Goyim. | 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 I am debtor both to Yevanim and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish. | 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. |
| 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome. | 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. |
| 16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Messiah, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Yehudi first, and also for the Yevanit. | 16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. |
| 17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith." | 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." |
| 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness, | 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, |
| 19 because that which is known by God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. | 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. |
| 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. | 20 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 men are without excuse. |
| 21 Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. | 21 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 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, | 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools |
