Romanos 1

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

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God,

2 quod ante promiserat per Prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis

which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings,

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

concerning His Son—who has come 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 is marked out [as the] Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead—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, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of His Name;

6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi:

among whom are also you, the called of Jesus Christ;

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

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy ones: 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, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in 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 good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

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

always in my prayers imploring, if by any means now at length I will have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come to 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 to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;

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

and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, 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 do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you—and was hindered until the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

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

Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,

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

so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,

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

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

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

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it has been written: “And the righteous one will 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 on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down 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 revealed among them, for God revealed [it] to 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 from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable; (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, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.

professing to be wise, they were made 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 into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

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

For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies 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)

who changed the truth of God into the lie, and honored and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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

Because of this God gave them up to dishonorable affections, for even their females changed the natural use into that 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 in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, burned in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the repayment of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

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

And according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

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

having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

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

evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

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

unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, 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 the righteous judgment of God having known—that those practicing such things are worthy of death—not only do them, but also have delight with those practicing them.
