Romans 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.	1 Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2 Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.	2 Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad ædificationem.
3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”	3 Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est : Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4 For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.	4 Quæcumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt : ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5 So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,	5 Deus autem patientiæ et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jesum Christum :
6 so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.	6 ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum et patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
7 For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.	7 Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8 For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,	8 Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum :
9 and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: “Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name.”	9 gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est : Propterea confitebor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10 And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”	10 Et iterum dicit : Lætamini gentes cum plebe ejus.
11 And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”	11 Et iterum : Laudate omnes gentes Dominum : et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”	12 Et rursus Isaias ait : Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsurget regere gentes, in eum gentes sperabunt.
13 So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.	13 Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo : ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus Sancti.
14 But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.	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.
15 But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,	15 Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens : propter gratiam, quæ data est mihi a Deo,
16 so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.	16 ut sim minister Christi Jesu in gentibus : sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto.
17 Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.	17 Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Jesu ad Deum.
18 So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,	18 Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quæ per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam gentium, verbo et factis :
19 with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.	19 in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus Sancti : ita ut ab Jerusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.
20 And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,	20 Sic autem prædicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum ædificarem :
21 but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”	21 sed sicut scriptum est : Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt : et qui non audierunt, intelligent.
22 Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.	22 Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, et prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23 Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,	23 Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis jam præcedentibus annis :
24 when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.	24 cum in Hispaniam proficisci cœpero, spero quod præteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25 But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.	25 Nunc igitur proficiscar in Jerusalem ministrare sanctis.
26 For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.	26 Probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Jerusalem.
27 And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.	27 Placuit enim eis : et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles, debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28 Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.	28 Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc, per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29 And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.	29 Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30 Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and though the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,	30 Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, et per caritatem Sancti Spiritus, ut adjuvetis me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31 so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.	31 ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Judæa, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Jerusalem sanctis,
32 So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.	32 ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33 And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.	33 Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
