Romanos 1
1 Paulus, servus Iesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,
PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God,
2 quod ante promiserat per Prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis
(which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,
concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David,
4 qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu Christi Domini nostri:
and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit, ) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,
5 per quem accepimus gratiam, et Apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus Gentibus pro nomine eius,
by whom we have received grace, and a mission among all the Gentiles, to the end that they may obey the faith in his name;
6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi:
among whom, ye also are called by Jesus Messiah; )
7 omnibus qui sunt Romae, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.
8 Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annunciatur in universo mundo.
In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world.
9 Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio filii eius, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio
And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers.
10 semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.
And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you.
11 Desidero enim videre vos: ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiae spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:
For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established;
12 id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam, quae invicem est, fidem vestram, atque meam.
and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me.
13 Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia saepe proposui venire ad vos, (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.
And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto, ) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles,
14 Graecis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:
Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him.
15 ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romae estis, evangelizare.
And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome.
16 Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Iudaeo primum, et Graeco.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto life, to all who believe in it; whether first they are of the Jews, or whether they are of the Gentiles.
17 Iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Iustus autem ex fide vivit.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written, The righteous by faith, shall live.
18 Revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem, et iniustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in iniustitia detinent:
For the wrath of God from heaven is revealed against all the iniquity and wickedness of men, who hold the truth in iniquity.
19 quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.
Because a knowledge of God is manifest in them; for God hath manifested it in them.
20 Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quae facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque eius virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles. (aïdios g126)
For, from the foundations of the world, the occult things of God are seen, by the intellect, in the things he created, even his eternal power and divinity; so that they might be 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 they knew God, and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as God, but became vain in their imaginings, and their unwise heart was darkened.
22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.
And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.
23 Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.
And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles on the earth.
24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam: ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:
For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them.
25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturae potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in saecula. Amen. (aiōn g165)
And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae. Nam feminae eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum, qui est contra naturam.
For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural.
27 Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminae, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes.
And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error.
28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia: tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum: ut faciant ea, quae non conveniunt,
And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not,
29 repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate, susurrones,
being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations,
30 detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,
and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents,
31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque foedere, sine misericordia.
and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion.
32 Qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.
These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.
