Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
1Debemus autem nos firmiores imbecillitates infirmorum sustinere, et non nobis placere.
2Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.
2Unusquisque vestrum proximo suo placeat in bonum, ad ædificationem.
3For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.
3Etenim Christus non sibi placuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
4For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort 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 the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:
5Deus autem patientiæ et solatii det vobis idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jesum Christum:
6That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6ut unanimes, uno ore honorificetis Deum et patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
7Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.
7Propter quod suscipite invicem, sicut et Christus suscepit vos in honorem Dei.
8For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.
8Dico enim Christum Jesum ministrum fuisse circumcisionis propter veritatem Dei, ad confirmandas promissiones patrum:
9But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
9gentes autem super misericordia honorare Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propterea confitebor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nomini tuo cantabo.
10And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
10Et iterum dicit: Lætamini gentes cum plebe ejus.
11And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people.
11Et iterum: Laudate omnes gentes Dominum: et magnificate eum omnes populi.
12And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.
12Et rursus Isaias ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsurget regere gentes, in eum gentes sperabunt.
13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.
13Deus autem spei repleat vos omni gaudio, et pace in credendo: ut abundetis in spe, et virtute Spiritus Sancti.
14And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish 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.
15But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God.
15Audacius autem scripsi vobis fratres ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vos reducens: propter gratiam, quæ data est mihi a Deo,
16That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.
16ut sim minister Christi Jesu in gentibus: sanctificans Evangelium Dei, ut fiat oblatio gentium accepta, et sanctificata in Spiritu Sancto.
17I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God.
17Habeo igitur gloriam in Christo Jesu ad Deum.
18For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
18Non enim audeo aliquid loqui eorum, quæ per me non efficit Christus in obedientiam gentium, verbo et factis:
19By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished 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.
20And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation.
20Sic autem prædicavi Evangelium hoc, non ubi nominatus est Christus, ne super alienum fundamentum ædificarem:
21But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.
21sed sicut scriptum est: Quibus non est annuntiatum de eo, videbunt: et qui non audierunt, intelligent.
22For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now.
22Propter quod et impediebar plurimum venire ad vos, et prohibitus sum usque adhuc.
23But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,
23Nunc vero ulterius locum non habens in his regionibus, cupiditatem autem habens veniendi ad vos ex multis jam præcedentibus annis:
24When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:
24cum in Hispaniam proficisci cœpero, spero quod præteriens videam vos, et a vobis deducar illuc, si vobis primum ex parte fruitus fuero.
25But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints.
25Nunc igitur proficiscar in Jerusalem ministrare sanctis.
26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.
26Probaverunt enim Macedonia et Achaia collationem aliquam facere in pauperes sanctorum, qui sunt in Jerusalem.
27For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.
27Placuit enim eis: et debitores sunt eorum. Nam si spiritualium eorum participes facti sunt gentiles, debent et in carnalibus ministrare illis.
28When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
28Hoc igitur cum consummavero, et assignavero eis fructum hunc, per vos proficiscar in Hispaniam.
29And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
29Scio autem quoniam veniens ad vos, in abundantia benedictionis Evangelii Christi veniam.
30I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,
30Obsecro ergo vos fratres per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, et per caritatem Sancti Spiritus, ut adjuvetis me in orationibus vestris pro me ad Deum,
31That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.
31ut liberer ab infidelibus, qui sunt in Judæa, et obsequii mei oblatio accepta fiat in Jerusalem sanctis,
32That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
32ut veniam ad vos in gaudio per voluntatem Dei, et refrigerer vobiscum.
33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
33Deus autem pacis sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
