Romanos 1

1 Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei

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

2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis

which he promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,

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

concerning his Son, 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

who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake:

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi

among whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ’s:

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 adnuntiatur in universo mundo

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed 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 in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

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

making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

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

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

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

that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

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

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum

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

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 also that 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: for it is the power of God unto 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 therein is revealed a righteousness of God by faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

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

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold down 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 manifested it unto 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 the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may 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 that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless 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 for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

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

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured 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)

for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 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 cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for 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 semet ipsis recipientes

and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, 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 even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

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

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

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

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia

without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

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

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they which practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
