1 Paul the seruaut of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle put a parte to preache the Gospell of God

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

2 which he promysed afore by his Prophetes in the holy scriptures

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

3 that make mension of his sonne the which was begotte of the seed of David as pertayninge to the flesshe:

concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

4 and declared to be the sonne of God with power of the holy goost that sanctifieth sence ye tyme that Iesus Christ oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth

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 by whom we have receaved grace and apostleshyppe to bringe all maner hethe people vnto obedience of the fayth that is in his name:

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

6 of the which hethen are ye a part also which are Iesus christes by vocacio.

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

7 To all you of Rome beloved of God and saynctes by callinge. Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ.

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 Fyrst verely I thanke my God thorow Iesus Christ for you all because youre fayth is publisshed through out all the worlde.

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

9 For God is my witnes whom I serve with my sprete in the Gospell of his sonne that with out ceasinge I make mencion of you alwayes in my prayers

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 besechinge that at one tyme or another a prosperous iorney (by ye will of god) myght fortune me to come vnto you.

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

11 For I longe to see you that I myght bestowe amoge you some spirituall gyfte to strength you with all:

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

12 that is that I myght have consolacion together with you through the commen fayth which bothe ye and I have.

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

13 I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethre how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of ye Gentyls.

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 For I am detter both to the Grekes and to them which are no Grekes vnto the learned and also vnto the vnlearned.

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

15 Lykewyse as moche as in me is I am redy to preache the Gospell to you of Rome also.

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

16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle.

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 For by it ye rightewesnes which cometh of god is opened fro fayth to fayth. As it is written: The iust shall live by fayth.

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

18 For the wrath of God apereth from heven agaynst all vngodlynes and vnrightewesnes of me which withholde ye trueth in vnrightewesnes

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

19 seynge what maye be knowen of God that same is manifest amoge them. For God dyd shewe it vnto them.

because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

20 So that his invisible thinges: that is to saye his eternall power and godhed are vnderstonde and sene by the workes from the creacion of the worlde. So that they are without excuse (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 in as moche as when they knewe god they glorified him not as God nether were thakfull but wexed full of vanities in their imaginacions and their folisshe hertes were blynded.

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 When they couted them selves wyse they became foles

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 and turned the glory of the immortall god vnto the similitude of the ymage of mortall man and of byrdes and foure foted beastes and of serpentes.

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 Wherfore god lykewyse gave the vp vnto their hertes lustes vnto vnclennes to defyle their awne boddyes bitwene them selves:

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

25 which tourned his truthe vnto a lye and worshipped and served the creatures more then ye maker which is blessed for ever. Ame. (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 For this cause god gave them vp vnto shamfull lustes. For even their wemen did chaunge the naturall vse vnto the vnnaturall.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And lyke wyse also the men lefte the naturall vse of the woma and bret in their lustes one on another. And man with man wrought filthynes and receaved in them selves the rewarde of their erroure as it was accordinge.

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 And as it semed not good vnto them to be aknowen of God even so God delivered them vp vnto a leawde mynd yt they shuld do tho thinges which were not comly

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 beinge full of all vnrighteous doinge of fornicacio wickednes coveteousnes maliciousnes full of envie morther debate disseyte evill codicioned whisperers

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

30 backbyters haters of God doers of wroge proude bosters bringers vp of evyll thinges disobedient to father and mother

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

31 with out vnderstondinge covenaunte breakers vnlovinge trucebreakers and merciles.

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

32 Which me though they knew the rightewesnes of God how that they which soche thinges commyt are worthy of deeth yet not only do the same but also have pleasure in them that do them.

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.
