1 Debemus autem nos fir miores imbecillitates infir morum sustinere et nonnobis placere.	1 But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.
2 Unusquisque nostrum proximo placeat in bonum ad aedificationem;	2 Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.
3 etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: “ Improperiaimproperantium tibi ceciderunt super me ”.	3 For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”
4 Quaecumque enim antea scriptasunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt, ut per patientiam et consolationemScripturarum spem habeamus.	4 For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
5 Deus autem patientiae et solacii det vobis idipsumsapere in alterutrum secundum Christum Iesum,	5 So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,
6 ut unanimes uno ore glorificetisDeum et Patrem Domini nostri Iesu Christi.	6 so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Dico enim Christum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Deiad confirmandas promissiones patrum;	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,
9 gentes autem propter misericordiamglorificare Deum, sicut scriptum est: “ Propter hoc confitebor tibi in gentibus et nomini tuo cantabo ”.	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.”
10 Et iterum dicit: “ Laetamini, gentes, cum plebe eius ”.	10 And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”
11 Et iterum: “ Laudate, omnes gentes, Dominum, et magnificent eum omnes populi ”.	11 And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”
12 Et rursus Isaias 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 shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”

14 Certus sum autem, fratres mei, et ego ipse de vobis, quoniam et ipsi pleniestis bonitate, repleti omni scientia, ita ut possitis et alterutrum monere.	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.
15 Audacius autem scripsi vobis ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens proptergratiam, quae data est mihi a Deo,	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,
16 ut sim minister Christi Iesu ad gentes,consecrans evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, sanctificata inSpiritu Sancto.	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.
17 Habeo igitur gloriationem in Christo Iesu ad Deum;	17 Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.
18 nonenim audebo aliquid loqui eorum, quae per me non effecit Christus inoboedientiam gentium, verbo et factis,	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,
19 in virtute signorum et prodigiorum, invirtute Spiritus, ita ut ab Ierusalem et per circuitum usque in Illyricumrepleverim evangelium Christi,	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.
20 sic autem contendens praedicare evangelium,non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum aedificarem,	20 And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,
21 sedsicut scriptum est: “ Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt; et, qui non audierunt, intellegent ”.	21 but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”
22 Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos;	22 Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

25 Nunc autem proficiscor in Ierusalem ministrare sanctis;	25 But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.
26 probaverunt enimMacedonia et Achaia communicationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, quisunt in Ierusalem.	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.
27 Placuit enim eis, et debitores sunt eorum; nam sispiritalibus eorum communicaverunt gentes, debent et in carnalibus ministrareeis.	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.
