Romanos 1

1 Paulus, servus Iesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2 quod ante promiserat per Prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis

which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

3 de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,

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

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

who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 per quem accepimus gratiam, et Apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus Gentibus pro nomine eius,

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

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi:

among whom are ye also, called [to be] Jesus Christ’s:

7 omnibus qui sunt Romae, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.

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

8 Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annunciatur in universo mundo.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio filii eius, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

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

10 semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.

making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

11 Desidero enim videre vos: ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiae spiritualis ad confirmandos vos:

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

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

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

13 Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia saepe proposui venire ad vos, (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Graecis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum:

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

15 ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romae estis, evangelizare.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.

16 Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Iudaeo primum, et Graeco.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 Iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Iustus autem ex fide vivit.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

18 Revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem, et iniustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in iniustitia detinent:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;

19 quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

20 Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quae facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque eius virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles. (aïdios g126)

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)

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

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.

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

24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam: ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturae potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in saecula. Amen. (aiōn g165)

for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae. Nam feminae eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum, qui est contra naturam.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 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 semetipsis recipientes.

and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia: tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum: ut faciant ea, quae non conveniunt,

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

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

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,

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

31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque foedere, sine misericordia.

without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

32 Qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
