Romans 1

1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,

Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei

2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)

quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis

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

de Filio suo qui factus est ex semine David secundum carnem

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

qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum Spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Iesu Christi Domini nostri

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

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

6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:

in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi

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.

omnibus qui sunt Romae dilectis Dei vocatis sanctis gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.

primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis quia fides vestra adnuntiatur in universo mundo

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

testis enim mihi est Deus cui servio in spiritu meo in evangelio Filii eius quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

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.

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

11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:

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

12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.

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

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.

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

14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.

Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum

15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.

ita quod in me promptum est et vobis qui Romae estis evangelizare

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.

non enim erubesco evangelium virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti Iudaeo primum et Graeco

17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.

iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem sicut scriptum est iustus autem ex fide vivit

18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.

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

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

quia quod notum est Dei manifestum est in illis Deus enim illis manifestavit

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)

invisibilia enim ipsius a creatura mundi per ea quae facta sunt intellecta conspiciuntur sempiterna quoque eius virtus et divinitas ut sint inexcusabiles (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.

quia cum cognovissent Deum non sicut Deum glorificaverunt aut gratias egerunt sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum

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

dicentes enim se esse sapientes stulti facti sunt

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.

et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis et volucrum et quadrupedum et serpentium

24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

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

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)

qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturae potius quam creatori qui est benedictus in saecula amen (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.

propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae nam feminae eorum inmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam

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.

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

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,

et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum ut faciant quae non conveniunt

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,

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

30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,

detractores Deo odibiles contumeliosos superbos elatos inventores malorum parentibus non oboedientes

31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.

insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia

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.

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