Romanos 1

1 Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,

2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis

(Which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )

3 de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 qui prædestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Jesu Christi Domini nostri:

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine ejus,

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi:

Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9 Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

10 semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

11 Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;

12 id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam quæ invicem est, fidem vestram atque meam.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 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.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, (but was let till now, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 Justitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Justus autem ex fide vivit.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.

20 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)

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (aïdios g126)

21 Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.

And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:

Why God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ: nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam.

For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 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.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones,

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.

Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 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.

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
