Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,
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.
qui prædestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Jesu Christi Domini nostri:
5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine ejus,
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi:
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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo.
9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio
10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.
11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam quæ invicem est, fidem vestram atque meam.
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia sæpe proposui venire ad vos (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco.
17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Justitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Justus autem ex fide vivit.
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.
Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent:
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.
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 His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quæ facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque ejus virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles. (aïdios g126)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum:
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ: nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam.
27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminæ, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes.
28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,
29 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,
repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones,
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
Qui cum justitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.
