Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
1Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
2Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad ædificationem.
3For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”
3Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
4Quæcumque enim scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt: ut per patientiam, et consolationem Scripturarum, spem habeamus.
5Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
5Deus autem patientiæ et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jesum Christum:
6so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum et patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
7Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
8Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
9gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
10Et iterum dicit: Lætamini gentes cum plebe ejus.
11And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”
11Et iterum: Laudate omnes gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
12Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsurget regere gentes, in eum gentes sperabunt.
13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
13Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus Sancti.
14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
14Certus sum autem fratres mei et ego ipse de vobis, quoniam et ipsi pleni estis dilectione, repleti omni scientia, ita ut possitis alterutrum monere.
15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
15Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quæ data est mihi a Deo,
16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
16ut sim minister Christi Jesu in gentibus: sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto.
17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
17Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Jesu ad Deum.
18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
18Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quæ per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam gentium, verbo et factis:
19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
19in virtute signorum, et prodigiorum, in virtute Spiritus Sancti: ita ut ab Jerusalem per circuitum usque ad Illyricum repleverim Evangelium Christi.
20In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
20Sic autem prædicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum ædificarem:
21Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
21sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt, intelligent.
22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
22Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, et prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
23Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis jam præcedentibus annis:
24I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
24cum in Hispaniam proficisci cœpero, spero quod præteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
25Nunc igitur proficiscar in Jerusalem ministrare sanctis.
26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
26Probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Jerusalem.
27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
27Placuit enim eis: et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles, debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
28Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc, per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
29Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
30Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, et per caritatem Sancti Spiritus, ut adjuvetis me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
31ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Judæa, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Jerusalem sanctis,
32so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
32ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
33Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
