Ad Romanos 15

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.	1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad ædificationem.	2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est : Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.	3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 Quæcumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt : ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.	4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Deus autem patientiæ et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jesum Christum :	5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum et patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.	6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.	7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum :	8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est : Propterea confitebor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.	9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 Et iterum dicit : Lætamini gentes cum plebe ejus.	10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 Et iterum : Laudate omnes gentes Dominum : et magnificate eum omnes populi.	11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 Et rursus Isaias ait : Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsurget regere gentes, in eum gentes sperabunt.	12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo : ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus Sancti.	13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
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 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye 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, quæ data est mihi a Deo,	15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16 ut sim minister Christi Jesu in gentibus : sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto.	16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Jesu ad Deum.	17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18 Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quæ per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam gentium, verbo et factis :	18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus Sancti : ita ut ab Jerusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.	19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 Sic autem prædicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum ædificarem :	20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
21 sed sicut scriptum est : Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt : et qui non audierunt, intelligent.	21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, et prohibitus sum usque adhuc.	22 For which cause also I 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 jam præcedentibus annis :	23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24 cum in Hispaniam proficisci cœpero, spero quod præteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.	24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25 Nunc igitur proficiscar in Jerusalem ministrare sanctis.	25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26 Probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Jerusalem.	26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 Placuit enim eis : et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles, debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.	27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28 Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc, per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.	28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29 Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.	29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
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,	30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31 ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Judæa, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Jerusalem sanctis,	31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32 ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.	32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.	33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
