6 inquibus estis et vos vocati Iesu Christi,	6 Among whom are you also 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 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.
8 Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Iesum Christum pro omnibus vobis, quiafides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo;	8 First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
9 testis enim mihi est Deus, cuiservio in spiritu meo in evangelio Filii eius, quomodo sine intermissionememoriam vestri faciam	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;
10 semper in orationibus meis obsecrans, si quo modotandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos.	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.

12 id est una vobiscum consolari per eam, quae invicem est,fidem vestram atque meam.	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.
13 Nolo autem vos ignorare, fratres, quia saepeproposui venire ad vos et prohibitus sum usque adhuc, ut aliquem fructum habeamet in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.	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.
14 Graecis ac barbaris, sapientibuset insipientibus debitor sum.	14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
15 Itaque, quod in me est, promptus sum et vobis,qui Romae estis, evangelizare.	15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
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. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
17 Iustitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem,sicut scriptum est: “ Iustus autem ex fide vivet ”.	17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
18 Revelatur enim ira Dei de caelo super omnem impietatem et iniustitiamhominum, qui veritatem in iniustitia detinent,	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:
19 quia, quod noscibile est Dei,manifestum est in illis; Deus enim illis manifestavit.	19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
20 Invisibilia enimipsius a creatura mundi per ea, quae facta sunt, intellecta conspiciuntur,sempiterna eius et virtus et divinitas, ut sint inexcusabiles;	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.
21 quia, cumcognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt aut gratias egerunt, sedevanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum.	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.
22 Dicentes se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt,	22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 et mutaverunt gloriamincorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis et volucrumet quadrupedum et serpentium.	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.
24 Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in concupiscentiis cordis eorum inimmunditiam, ut ignominia afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis,	24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
25 quicommutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacio et coluerunt et servierunt creaturaepotius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in saecula. Amen.	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.
26 Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiae. Nam et feminae eorumimmutaverunt naturalem usum in eum, qui est contra naturam;	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.
27 similiter etmasculi, relicto naturali usu feminae, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem,masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes et mercedem, quam oportuit, errorissui in semetipsis recipientes.	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.
28 Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere innotitia, tradidit eos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant, quae non conveniunt,	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;
29 repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia,homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate, susurrones,	29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,

31 insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, sine misericordia.	31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 Qui cum iudicium Dei cognovissent, quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte,non solum ea faciunt, sed et consentiunt facientibus.	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.
