Romans 1

1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel 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 had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)

which he promysed afore by his Prophetes in the holy scriptures

3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,

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

4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)

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 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,

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 whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:

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

7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus 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 thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout 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 witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

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 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto 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, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:

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

12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall 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 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue 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 detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.

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

15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at 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 Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.

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 by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by 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 reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.

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

19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.

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

20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should 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 that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.

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 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.

When they couted them selves wyse they became foles

23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of 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 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

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

25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (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 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which 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 men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.

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 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,

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 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,

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

30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil 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 vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.

with out vnderstondinge covenaunte breakers vnlovinge trucebreakers and merciles.

32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.

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.
