Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad ædificationem.
3 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Quæcumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt: ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
Deus autem patientiæ et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jesum Christum:
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum et patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
Et iterum dicit: Lætamini gentes cum plebe ejus.
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
Et iterum: Laudate omnes gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsurget regere gentes, in eum gentes sperabunt.
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus Sancti.
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
Certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis, quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione, repleti omni scientia, ita ut possitis alterutrum monere.
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quæ data est mihi a Deo,
16 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
ut sim minister Christi Jesu in gentibus: sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto.
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Jesu ad Deum.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quæ per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam gentium, verbo et factis:
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus Sancti: ita ut ab Jerusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.
20 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
Sic autem prædicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum ædificarem:
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt, intelligent.
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, et prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis jam præcedentibus annis:
24 whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
cum in Hispaniam proficisci cœpero, spero quod præteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
Nunc igitur proficiscar in Jerusalem ministrare sanctis.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
Probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Jerusalem.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
Placuit enim eis: et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles, debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc, per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, et per caritatem Sancti Spiritus, ut adjuvetis me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Judæa, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Jerusalem sanctis,
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.
ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
