Grace to you and peace from God our father, and our Lord IESVS CHRIST.omnibus qui sunt Romæ, dilectis Dei, vocatis sanctis. Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

8First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.E primieramente grazie rendo al mio Dio per Gesù Cristo a riguardo di tutti voi: perché per la vostra fede vien celebrata pel mondo tutto.First I giue thankes to my God through IESVS CHRIST for al you, because your faith is renoumed in the vvhole vvorld.Primum quidem gratias ago Deo meo per Jesum Christum pro omnibus vobis: quia fides vestra annuntiatur in universo mundo. 9For 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:Imperocché è a me testimone Dio cui in servo col mio spirito in evangelizzando il suo figliuolo, come di continuo fo memoria di voiFor God is my vvitnes, vvhom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne, that vvithout intermission I make a memorie of youTestis enim mihi est Deus, cui servio in spiritu meo in Evangelio Filii ejus, quod sine intermissione memoriam vestri facio 10Always 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.Sempre nelle mie orazioni, chiedendo, che, se mai finalmente una volta mi sia concesso nella volontà di Dio un felice viaggio a voi io ne venga.alvvaies in my praiers, beseeching, if by any meanes I may sometime at the length haue a prosperous iourney by the vvil of God, to come vnto you.semper in orationibus meis: obsecrans, si quomodo tandem aliquando prosperum iter habeam in voluntate Dei veniendi ad vos. 11For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:Conciossiaché bramo di vedervi, affin di comunicare a voi qualche parte di grazia spirituale per vostro conforto:For I desire to see you, that I may imparte vnto you some spiritual grace, to confirme you:Desidero enim videre vos, ut aliquid impertiar vobis gratiæ spiritualis ad confirmandos vos: 12That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.Viene a dire, per consolarmi insieme con voi per la scambievole fede e vostra, e mia.that is to say, to be comforted together in you by that vvhich is cōmon to vs both, your faith and mine.id est, simul consolari in vobis per eam quæ invicem est, fidem vestram atque meam. 13And 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.Or io non voglio, che siavi ignoto, o fratelli, come feci spesso risoluzione di venir da voi per far qualche frutto anche tra voi, come tra le altre nazioni, ma sono stato fino a quest'ora impedito.And I vvil not haue you ignorant (brethren) that I haue often purposed to come vnto you (and haue been staied hitherto) that I may haue some fruite in you, as also in the other Gentiles.Nolo autem vos ignorare fratres: quia sæpe proposui venire ad vos (et prohibitus sum usque adhuc) ut aliquem fructum habeam et in vobis, sicut et in ceteris gentibus.

14To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor.Sono debitore ai Greci, e ai Barbari, ai saggi, e agli stolti:To the Greekes and the Barbarous, to the vvise and the vnvvise I am detter.Græcis ac barbaris, sapientibus, et insipientibus debitor sum: 15So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.Così (quanto a me) sono pronto ad annunciare il Vangelo anche a voi che siete in Roma.so (as much as is in me) I am ready to euangelize to you also that are at Rome.ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizare. 16For 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.Imperocché io non mi vergogno del Vangelo. Conciossiachè egli è virtù di Dio per dar salute ad ogni credente, prima al Giudeo, e poi al Greco.For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the povver of God, vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Ievve first and to the Greeke.Non enim erubesco Evangelium. Virtus enim Dei est in salutem omni credenti, Judæo primum, et Græco. 17For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.Imperocché la giustizia di Dio per esso si manifesta di fede in fede: conforme sta scritto: il giusto vive di fede.For the iustice of God is reuealed therein by faith into faith: as it is vvritten: And the iust liueth by faith.Justitia enim Dei in eo revelatur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Justus autem ex fide vivit. 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:Imperocché si manifesta l'ira di Dio dal cielo contro ogni empietà, e in giustizia degli uomini, come quegli, i quali la verità di Dio ritengono nell'ingiustizia:For the vvrath of God from heauen is reuealed, vpon al impietie and iniustice of those men that deteine the vertitie of God in iniustice:Revelatur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietatem, et injustitiam hominum eorum, qui veritatem Dei in injustitia detinent: 19Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.Conciossiachè quello, che di Dio può conoscersi, è in essi manifesto. Dappoiché Dio lo ha ad essi manifestato.because, that of God vvhich is knovvē, is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it vnto them.quia quod notum est Dei, manifestum est in illis. Deus enim illis manifestavit.

20For 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.Imperocché le invisibili cose di lui, dopo creato il mondo per le cose fatte comprendendosi, si veggono: anche l'eterna potenza, e il divino essere di lui, onde siano inescusabili.For his inuisible things, from the creation of the vvorld are seen, being vnderstoode by those things that are made: his eternal povver also & Diuinitie: so that they are inexcusable.Invisibilia enim ipsius, a creatura mundi, per ea quæ facta sunt, intellecta, conspiciuntur: sempiterna quoque ejus virtus, et divinitas: ita ut sint inexcusabiles. 21Because 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.Perché avendo conosciuto Dio, noi glorificarono come Dio né a lui grazie rendettero: ma infatuirono ne' loro pensamenti, e si ottenebrò lo stolto lor cuore:Because, vvhereas they knevve God, they haue not glorified him as God, or giuē thankes: but are become vaine in their cogitations, and their folish hart hath been darkened.Quia cum cognovissent Deum, non sicut Deum glorificaverunt, aut gratias egerunt: sed evanuerunt in cogitationibus suis, et obscuratum est insipiens cor eorum: 22For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.Imperocché dicendo di esser saggi, diventarono stolti.for, saying them selues to be vvise, they became fooles.dicentes enim se esse sapientes, stulti facti sunt. 23And 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.E cangiarono la gloria dell'incorruttibile Dio per la figura di un simulacro di uomo corruttibile, e di uccelli, e di quadrupedi, e di serpenti.And they changed the glorie of the incorruptible God, into a similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of foules and foure-footed beastes and of them that creepe.Et mutaverunt gloriam incorruptibilis Dei in similitudinem imaginis corruptibilis hominis, et volucrum, et quadrupedum, et serpentium. 24Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness: to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.Per la qual cosa abbandonagli Iddio ai desiderj de' loro cuore, alla immondezza: talmente che disonorassero in se stessi i corpi loro:(For the vvhich cause God hath deliuered them vp vnto the desires of their hart, into vncleannesse, for to abuse their owne bodies among them selues ignominiously.)Propter quod tradidit illos Deus in desideria cordis eorum, in immunditiam, ut contumeliis afficiant corpora sua in semetipsis:

25Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.Eglino, che cambiarono la verità di Dio per la menzogna: e rendettero onore, e servirono alla creatura piuttosto, che al Creatore, il quale è bene detto ne' secoli. Così sia.vvho haue changed the veritie of God into lying: and haue vvorshipped & serued the creature rather then the creator, vvho is blessed for euer. Amen.qui commutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium: et coluerunt, et servierunt creaturæ potius quam Creatori, qui est benedictus in sæcula. Amen. 26For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.Per questo gli diede Dio in balìa di ignominiose passioni. Imperocché le stesse loro donne l'ordine posto dalla natura cambiarono in disordine contrario alla natura.Therfore God hath deliuered them into passions of ignominie. For their vvomen haue changed the natural vse, into that vse that is contrarie to nature.Propterea tradidit illos Deus in passiones ignominiæ: nam feminæ eorum immutaverunt naturalem usum in eum usum qui est contra naturam. 27And, 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.E gli uomini similmente, lasciata la natural unione della donna, ne lor desiderj arsero scambievolmente, facendo cose obbrobriose l'un verso l'altro, e riportando in se stessi la condegna mercede del proprio errore.And in like maner the men also, leauing the natural vse of the vvoman, haue burned in their desires one tovvard an other, men vpon men vvorking turpitude, & the revvard of their errour (vvhich they should) receauing in themselues.Similiter autem et masculi, relicto naturali usu feminæ, exarserunt in desideriis suis in invicem, masculi in masculos turpitudinem operantes, et mercedem, quam oportuit, erroris sui in semetipsis recipientes. 28And 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.E siccome non si curarono di riconoscer Dio: abbandonogli Iddio a un reprobo senso, onde facciano cosa non convenevoli,And as they liked not to haue God in knovvledge: God deliuered them vp into a reprobate sense: to doe those things that are not conuenient:Et sicut non probaverunt Deum habere in notitia, tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum, ut faciant ea quæ non conveniunt,

29Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness: full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity: whisperers,Ricolmi di ogni iniquità, di malizia, di fornicazione, di avarizia, di malvagità, pieni di invidia, di omicidio, di discordia, di frode, di malignità, susurroni,replenished vvith al iniquitie, malice, fornication, auarice, vvickednes, ful of enuie, murder, contention, guile, malignitie, vvhisperers,repletos omni iniquitate, malitia, fornicatione, avaritia, nequitia, plenos invidia, homicidio, contentione, dolo, malignitate: susurrones, 30Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,Detrattori, nemici di Dio, oltraggiatori, superbi, millantatori, inventori di male cose, disubbidienti ai genitori,detractours, odible to God, contumelious, proude, hautie, inuentours of euil things, disobedient to parents,detractores, Deo odibiles, contumeliosos, superbos, elatos, inventores malorum, parentibus non obedientes, 31Foolish, dissolute: without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.Stolti, disordinati, senza amore, senza legge, senza compassione.folish, dissolute, vvithout affection, vvithout fidelitie, vvithout mercie.insipientes, incompositos, sine affectione, absque fœdere, sine misericordia. 32Who, 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.I quali conosciuta avendo la giustizia di Dio, non intesero, come chi fa tali cose, è degno di morte: né solamente chi le fa, ma anche chi approva coloro, che le fanno.Who vvhereas they knevv the iustice of God, did not vnderstand that they vvhich doe such things, are vvorthie of death: not only they that doe them, but they also that consent to the doers.Qui cum justitiam Dei cognovissent, non intellexerunt quoniam qui talia agunt, digni sunt morte: et non solum qui ea faciunt, sed etiam qui consentiunt facientibus.
