Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,
2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis
3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh
de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,
4 and who was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by the 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 whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,
per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine ejus,
6 including you who are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi:
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace 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 give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that I continually remember you,
Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio
10 always pleading in my prayers that somehow by God's will I may now at last 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, that you may be established,
Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:
12 that is, that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
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, that I have often intended to come to you (but have been hindered until the present time) so that I might have some fruit among you as well, 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 under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish;
Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:
15 thus the eagerness on my part to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, both to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, 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 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.
Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent:
19 Because what is known about God is evident among them, for God has made it evident to them.
quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.
20 For his invisible qualities, both his everlasting power and his divinity, have been plainly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived through what has been made, so that they 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 did not glorify him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened.
Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum:
22 Claiming 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 resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:
25 because they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 up to dishonorable passions, for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is contrary to nature.
Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ: nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam.
27 In the same way the men also, having abandoned the natural function of the female, were inflamed in their lust for one another, men committing shameful acts with men and receiving 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 And just as they considered it worthless to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a worthless mind, to do what is not proper.
Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,
29 They are filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, evil, covetousness, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and maliciousness. They are gossips,
repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,
31 senseless, untrustworthy, without natural affection, irreconcilable, and unmerciful.
insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.
32 Though they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them 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.
