Romanos 1

1 Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called Apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis

(which he formerly announced by his prophets, in the Sacred Writings, )

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

concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord; descended from David, as to his flesh,

4 qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum Spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu Christi Domini nostri

and constituted the Son of God, with power, as to his holy spiritual nature, after his resurrection from the dead:

5 per quem accepimus gratiam et apostolatum ad oboediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine eius

by whom we have received favor, even the apostolic office, for the obedience of faith among all nations, for his name's sake:

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi

among whom are you, also, 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 who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; favor be 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 adnuntiatur in universo mundo

First of all, I thank my God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, for you all, that your faith is published 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

For God is my witness, whom I serve sincerely in the gospel of his Son, that continually I make mention of you;

10 semper in orationibus meis obsecrans si quo modo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos

always in my prayers, requesting that, by some means, now at length, I may have a prosperous journey, (God willing, ) to come to you.

11 desidero enim videre vos ut aliquid inpertiar gratiae vobis spiritalis ad confirmandos vos

For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;

12 id est simul consolari in vobis per eam quae invicem est fidem vestram atque meam

and that I may be comforted, together with you, through 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 et in vobis sicut et in ceteris gentibus

Now, brethren, I would not have you ignorant, that I often purposed to come to you, thought I have, as yet been hindered; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.

14 Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum

I am a 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

Therefore, I am willing, according to my ability, to declare the glad tidings, even to you who are in 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; because it is the power of God for salvation, to every one who believes; 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 it the justification of God by faith is revealed, in order to faith; as it is written, "Now the just by faith, shall live."

18 revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem et iniustitiam hominum eorum qui veritatem in iniustitiam detinent

Besides the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth by 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 among them, for God has manifested it to them:

20 invisibilia enim ipsius a creatura mundi per ea quae facta sunt intellecta conspiciuntur sempiterna quoque eius virtus et divinitas ut sint inexcusabiles (aïdios g126)

(for his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, since the creation of the world, are very evident; being known by his works: ) so that they are inexcusable. (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, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither gave him thanks; but became foolish by their own reasonings, and their inconsiderate heart was darkened.

22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes stulti facti sunt

Professing to be wise men, they became fools:

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

for they changed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of an image of mortal man, of fowls, or four-footed beasts, and of reptiles.

24 propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum in inmunditiam ut contumeliis adficiant corpora sua in semet ipsis

Therefore, also, God, through the lusts of their own hearts, delivered them over to uncleanness, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves.

25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturae potius quam creatori qui est benedictus in saecula amen (aiōn g165)

Who changed the truth concerning God, into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is forever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae nam feminae eorum inmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam

For this, God delivered them over to shameful passions; for even their females changed the natural use unto what is contrary to 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 semet ipsis recipientes

In like manner, also, the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males, working out that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

28 et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum ut faciant quae non conveniunt

And as they did not like to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to an undiscerning mind, to work those things which are not suitable;

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

being filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, bad habits, whisperers,

30 detractores Deo odibiles contumeliosos superbos elatos inventores malorum parentibus non oboedientes

revilers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil pleasure, disobedient to parents,

31 insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia

impudent, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.

32 qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt digni sunt morte non solum ea faciunt sed et consentiunt facientibus

Some, who clearly understand the law of God, (that they who practice such things are worthy of death, ) not only do these things, but even commend those who practice them.
