Romans 15
1 We which are strong, ought to beare the infirmities of the weake, and not to please our selues.
Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2 Therefore let euery man please his neighbour in that that is good to edification.
Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad aedificationem.
3 For Christ also would not please himselfe, but as it is written, The rebukes of them which rebuke thee, fell on me.
Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4 For whatsoeuer things are written aforetime, are writte for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope.
Quaecumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt: ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation giue you that ye be like minded one towards another, according to Christ Iesus,
Deus autem patientiae, et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Iesum Christum:
6 That ye with one minde, and with one mouth may prayse God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ.
ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum, et patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
7 Wherefore receiue ye one another, as Christ also receiued vs to the glory of God.
Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8 Nowe I say, that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the trueth of God, to confirme the promises made vnto the fathers.
Dico enim Christum Iesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9 And let the Gentiles prayse God, for his mercie, as it is written, For this cause I wil confesse thee among the Gentiles, and sing vnto thy Name.
Gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in Gentibus Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10 And againe he saith, Reioyce, ye Gentiles with his people.
Et iterum dicit: Laetamini Gentes cum plebe eius.
11 And againe, Prayse the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laude ye him, all people together.
Et iterum: Laudate omnes Gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12 And againe Esaias sayth, There shall be a roote of Iesse, and hee that shall rise to reigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Iesse, et qui exurget regere Gentes, in eum Gentes sperabunt.
13 Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioye, and peace in beleeuing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost.
Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus sancti.
14 And I my selfe also am perswaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnes, and filled with all knowledge, and are able to admonish one another.
Certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis, quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione, repleti omni scientia, ita ut possitis alterutrum monere.
15 Neuerthelesse, brethren, I haue somewhat boldly after a sort written vnto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is giuen me of God,
Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quae data est mihi a Deo,
16 That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ toward the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost.
ut sim minister Christi Iesu in Gentibus: sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio Gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu sancto.
17 I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce in Christ Iesus in those things which pertaine to God.
Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Iesu ad Deum.
18 For I dare not speake of any thing, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in worde and deede,
Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quae per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam Gentium, verbo et factis:
19 With the power of signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God: so that from Hierusalem, and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue caused to abound the Gospel of Christ.
in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus sancti: ita ut ab Ierusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.
20 Yea, so I enforced my selfe to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should haue built on another mans foundation.
Sic autem praedicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem:
21 But as it is written, To whome hee was not spoken of, they shall see him, and they that heard not, shall vnderstand him.
sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annunciatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt de eo, intelligent.
22 Therefore also I haue bene oft let to come vnto you:
Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, sed prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23 But nowe seeing I haue no more place in these quarters, and also haue bene desirous many yeeres agone to come vnto you,
Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis iam praecedentibus annis:
24 When I shall take my iourney into Spaine, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my iourney, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, after that I haue bene somewhat filled with your company.
cum in Hispaniam proficisci coepero, spero quod praeteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25 But now go I to Hierusalem, to minister vnto the Saints.
Nunc igitur proficiscar in Ierusalem ministrare sanctis.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certaine distribution vnto the poore Saints which are at Hierusalem.
Probaverunt enim Macedonia, et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Ierusalem.
27 For it hath pleased them, and their detters are they: for if the Gentiles be made partakers of their spirituall things, their duetie is also to minister vnto them in carnall things.
Placuit enim eis: et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt Gentiles: debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28 When I haue therefore performed this, and haue sealed them this fruite, I will passe by you into Spaine.
Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc: per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29 And I knowe when I come, that I shall come to you with abundance of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ.
Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30 Also brethren, I beseeche you for our Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirit, that ye would striue with me by prayers to God for me,
Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, et per charitatem sancti Spiritus, ut adiuvetis et me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31 That I may be deliuered from them which are disobedient in Iudea, and that my seruice which I haue to doe at Hierusalem, may be accepted of the Saintes,
ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Iudaea, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Ierusalem sanctis,
32 That I may come vnto you with ioy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33 Thus the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
