Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei

2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis

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

de Filio suo qui factus est ex semine David secundum carnem

4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

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

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

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

6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi

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

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

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed 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 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,

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

10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to 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 may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

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

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

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

13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the 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 debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum

15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

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

16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

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

17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live 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 revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

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

19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

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

20 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)

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 knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

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

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

dicentes enim se esse sapientes stulti facti sunt

23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.

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

24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;

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

25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function 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 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

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 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

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

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

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

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

detractores Deo odibiles contumeliosos superbos elatos inventores malorum parentibus non oboedientes

31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia

32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

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