The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 Paulus servus Christi Iesu vocatus apostolus segregatus in evangelium Dei
1
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
2 quod ante promiserat per prophetas suos in scripturis sanctis
2
which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 de Filio suo qui factus est ex semine David secundum carnem
3
concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, 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
4
and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
5 per quem accepimus gratiam et apostolatum ad oboediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro nomine eius
5
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,
6 in quibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi
6
among whom you also are 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
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.
8 primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis quia fides vestra adnuntiatur in universo mundo
8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of 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
9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10 semper in orationibus meis obsecrans si quo modo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos
10
making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.
11 desidero enim videre vos ut aliquid inpertiar gratiae vobis spiritalis ad confirmandos vos
11
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established--
12 id est simul consolari in vobis per eam quae invicem est fidem vestram atque meam
12
that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 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
13
Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.
14 Graecis ac barbaris sapientibus et insipientibus debitor sum
14
I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.
15 ita quod in me promptum est et vobis qui Romae estis evangelizare
15
So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
16 non enim erubesco evangelium virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti Iudaeo primum et Graeco
16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem sicut scriptum est iustus autem ex fide vivit
17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
18 revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem et iniustitiam hominum eorum qui veritatem in iniustitiam detinent
18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 quia quod notum est Dei manifestum est in illis Deus enim illis manifestavit
19
because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 invisibilia enim ipsius a creatura mundi per ea quae facta sunt intellecta conspiciuntur sempiterna quoque eius virtus et divinitas ut sint inexcusabiles
20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 quia cum cognovissent Deum non sicut Deum glorificaverunt aut gratias egerunt sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum
21
because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 dicentes enim se esse sapientes stulti facti sunt
22
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis et volucrum et quadrupedum et serpentium
23
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum in inmunditiam ut contumeliis adficiant corpora sua in semet ipsis
24
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturae potius quam creatori qui est benedictus in saecula amen
25
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae nam feminae eorum inmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam
26
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what 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 semet ipsis recipientes
27
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum ut faciant quae non conveniunt
28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 repletos omni iniquitate malitia fornicatione avaritia nequitia plenos invidia homicidio contentione dolo malignitate susurrones
29
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 detractores Deo odibiles contumeliosos superbos elatos inventores malorum parentibus non oboedientes
30
backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 insipientes inconpositos sine affectione absque foedere sine misericordia
31
undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 qui cum iustitiam Dei cognovissent non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt digni sunt morte non solum ea faciunt sed et consentiunt facientibus
32
who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
