The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 debemus autem nos firmiores inbecillitates infirmorum sustinere et non nobis placere
1
We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum ad aedificationem
2
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
3 etenim Christus non sibi placuit sed sicut scriptum est inproperia inproperantium tibi ceciderunt super me
3
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."
4 quaecumque enim scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt ut per patientiam et consolationem scripturarum spem habeamus
4
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
5 Deus autem patientiae et solacii det vobis id ipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Iesum Christum
5
Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
6 ut unianimes uno ore honorificetis Deum et Patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi
6
that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 propter quod suscipite invicem sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei
7
Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
8 dico enim Christum Iesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei ad confirmandas promissiones patrum
8
Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
9 gentes autem super misericordiam honorare Deum sicut scriptum est propter hoc confitebor tibi in gentibus et nomini tuo cantabo
9
and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."
10 et iterum dicit laetamini gentes cum plebe eius
10
And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"
11 et iterum laudate omnes gentes Dominum et magnificate eum omnes populi
11
And again: "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"
12 et rursus Esaias ait erit radix Iesse et qui exsurget regere gentes in eo gentes sperabunt
12
And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."
13 Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio et pace in credendo ut abundetis in spe in virtute Spiritus Sancti
13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione repleti omni scientia ita ut possitis alterutrum monere
14
Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte tamquam in memoriam vos reducens propter gratiam quae data est mihi a Deo
15
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,
16 ut sim minister Christi Iesu in gentibus sanctificans evangelium Dei ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto
16
that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Iesu ad Deum
17
Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.
18 non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum quae per me non effecit Christus in oboedientiam gentium verbo et factis
18
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient--
19 in virtute signorum et prodigiorum in virtute Spiritus Sancti ita ut ab Hierusalem per circuitum usque in Illyricum repleverim evangelium Christi
19
in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 sic autem hoc praedicavi evangelium non ubi nominatus est Christus ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem
20
And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation,
21 sed sicut scriptum est quibus non est adnuntiatum de eo videbunt et qui non audierunt intellegent
21
but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand."
22 propter quod et inpediebar plurimum venire ad vos
22
For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis iam annis
23
But now no longer having a place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,
24 cum in Hispaniam proficisci coepero spero quod praeteriens videam vos et a vobis deducar illuc si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero
24
whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
25 nunc igitur proficiscar in Hierusalem ministrare sanctis
25
But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.
26 probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia conlationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum qui sunt in Hierusalem
26
For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.
27 placuit enim eis et debitores sunt eorum nam si spiritalium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles debent et in carnalibus ministrare eis
27
It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.
28 hoc igitur cum consummavero et adsignavero eis fructum hunc proficiscar per vos in Hispaniam
28
Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.
29 scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos in abundantia benedictionis Christi veniam
29
But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30 obsecro igitur vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum et per caritatem Spiritus ut adiuvetis me in orationibus pro me ad Deum
30
Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,
31 ut liberer ab infidelibus qui sunt in Iudaea et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Hierosolyma sanctis
31
that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
32 ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei et refrigerer vobiscum
32
that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.
33 Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis amen
33
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
