1:1 Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei,

1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.

1:2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis

1:2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,

1:3 de Filio suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem,

1:3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,

1:4 qui prædestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Jesu Christi Domini nostri :

1:4 Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead:

1:5 per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine ejus,

1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name:

1:6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi :

1:6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

1:7 omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

1:7 To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:8 Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis : quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo.

1:8 First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.

1:9 Testis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio

1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you:

1:10 semper in orationibus meis : obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.

1:10 Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.

1:11 Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos :

1:11 For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:

1:12 id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam quæ invicem est, fidem vestram atque meam.

1:12 That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.

1:13 Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres : quia sæpe proposui venire ad vos (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.

1:13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you (and have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

1:14 Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum :

1:14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor.

1:15 ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare.

1:15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

1:16 Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco.

1:16 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 to the Greek.

1:17 Justitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem : sicut scriptum est : Justus autem ex fide vivit.

1:17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.

1:18 Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent :

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:

1:19 quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.

1:19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.

1:20 Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quæ facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur : sempiterna quoque ejus virtus, et divinitas : ita ut sint inexcusabiles.

1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made. His eternal power also and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.

1:21 Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt : sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum :

1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God or given thanks: but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was darkened.

1:22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt.

1:22 For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

1:23 Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium.

1:23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts and of creeping things.

1:24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis :

1:24 Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness: to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.

1:25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium : et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen.

1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

1:26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ : nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam.

1:26 For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.

1:27 Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminæ, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes.

1:27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

1:28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,

1:28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient.

1:29 repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate : susurrones,

1:29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness: full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity: whisperers,

1:30 detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes,

1:30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

1:31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia.

1:31 Foolish, dissolute: without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.

1:32 Qui cum justitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte : et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.

1:32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death: and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
