Romans 1

1 Paul, a bondman of Jesus Christ, a called apostle having been separated for the good news of God

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

2 (which he fore-promised through his prophets in the holy scriptures)

which he promysed afore by his Prophetes in the holy scriptures

3 concerning his Son who was made from the seed of David according to flesh.

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

4 He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead-Jesus Christ our Lord-

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

5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name,

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

6 among which ye also are the called of Jesus Christ.

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

7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, to the called, to the sanctified: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

8 First, I indeed express thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

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

9 For God is my witness whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

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

10 pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

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

11 For I long to see you, so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to establish you,

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

12 and that is, to be mutually encouraged among you through each other's faith, both yours and mine.

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

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.

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.

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

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

15 So the willingness is in me to preach the good news also to you in Rome.

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

16 For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

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.

17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

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.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all irreverence and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

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

19 because what is knowable of God is apparent in them, for God made it known to them.

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

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

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)

21 Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

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.

22 Professing to be wise, they became foolish,

When they couted them selves wyse they became foles

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed things, and creeping things.

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.

24 And for this reason God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to degrade their bodies among themselves,

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

25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the creation against him who created it, who is blessed into the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)

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)

26 Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.

For this cause god gave them vp vnto shamfull lustes. For even their wemen did chaunge the naturall vse vnto the vnnaturall.

27 And likewise also the males, having left the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward each other, males with males producing shamelessness, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their deviancy that was fitting.

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.

28 And just as they did not approve having God in knowledge, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do things that are not fit;

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

29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity;

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

30 being gossips, slanderous, God-hating, aggressors, arrogant boasters, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents;

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

31 without understanding, untrustworthy, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.

with out vnderstondinge covenaunte breakers vnlovinge trucebreakers and merciles.

32 Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.

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.
