Romanos 1

1 Paulus, servus Iesu 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, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu 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 eius,

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 Iesu Christi:

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

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

To all that are 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 Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annunciatur 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 eius, 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 may have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

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

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

12 id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam, quae 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 saepe proposui venire ad vos, (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, ( but was hindered until now, ) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 Graecis 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 Romae 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, Iudaeo primum, et Graeco.

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

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

For in this 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 caelo super omnem impietatem, et iniustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in iniustitia 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 evident in them; for God hath shown it to 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 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 corruptible man, and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

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

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

25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturae potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in saecula. 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 ignominiae. Nam feminae 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 changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

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 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 recompence of their error which was due.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

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.

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