Rm 15:1Dēbēmus autem nōs firmiōrēs imbēcillitātēs īnfirmōrum sustinēre, et nōn nōbīs placēre.But we who are stronger ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Rm 15:2Ūnusquisque vestrum proximō suō placeat in bonum, ad aedificātiōnem.Let each one of you please his neighbour for good, unto building up. Rm 15:3Etenim Chrīstus nōn sibi placuit, sed sīcut scrīptum est: Improperia improperantium tibi cecidērunt super mē.For Christ too did not please himself, but just as it has been written: "The reproaches of those reproaching you have fallen upon me." Rm 15:4Quaecumque enim scrīpta sunt, ad nostram doctrīnam scrīpta sunt: ut per patientiam, et cōnsōlātiōnem Scrīptūrārum, spem habeāmus.For whatever things have been written, have been written for our teaching: so that through patience, and the consolation of the Scriptures, we may have hope. Rm 15:5Deus autem patientiae et sōlātiī det vōbīs idipsum sapere in alterutrum secundum Jēsum Chrīstum: ut ūnanimēs, ūnō ōre honōrificētis Deum et patrem Dominī nostrī Jēsū Chrīstī.And may the God of patience and of comfort grant you to think the same thing towards one another according to Jesus Christ: so that, of one mind, with one mouth you may honour God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rm 15:7Propter quod suscipite invicem, sīcut et Chrīstus suscēpit vōs in honōrem Deī.On account of which receive one another, just as Christ too received you unto the honour of God. Rm 15:8Dīcō enim Chrīstum Jēsum ministrum fuisse circumcīsiōnis propter vēritātem Deī, ad cōnfirmandās prōmissiōnēs patrum: gentēs autem super misericordiā honōrāre Deum, sīcut scrīptum est: Proptereā cōnfitēbor tibi in gentibus, Domine, et nōminī tuō cantābō.For I say that Christ Jesus was a minister of circumcision on account of the truth of God, for confirming the promises of the fathers: and that the nations honour God for his mercy, just as it has been written: "Therefore I will confess to you among the nations, Lord, and I will sing to your name." Rm 15:10Et iterum dīcit: Laetāminī gentēs cum plēbe ejus.And again he says: "Rejoice, nations, with his people." Rm 15:11Et iterum: Laudāte omnēs gentēs Dominum: et magnificāte eum omnēs populī.And again: "Praise the Lord, all nations: and magnify him, all peoples." Rm 15:12Et rūrsus Isaiās ait: Erit rādīx Jesse, et quī exsurget regere gentēs, in eum gentēs spērābunt.And again Isaiah says: "There will be the root of Jesse, and he who will rise up to rule the nations, in him the nations will hope."
Rm 15:13Deus autem speī repleat vōs omnī gaudiō, et pāce in crēdendō: ut abundētis in spē, et virtūte Spīritūs Sānctī.And may the God of hope fill you with all joy, and peace in believing: so that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Rm 15:14Certus sum autem frātrēs meī et ego ipse dē vōbīs, quoniam et ipsī plēnī estis dīlēctiōne, replētī omnī scientiā, ita ut possītis alterutrum monēre.But I too myself am certain about you, my brothers, that you yourselves too are full of love, filled with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another. Rm 15:15Audācius autem scrīpsī vōbīs frātrēs ex parte, tamquam in memoriam vōs redūcēns: propter grātiam, quae data est mihi ā Deō, ut sim minister Chrīstī Jēsū in gentibus: sānctificāns Evangelium Deī, ut fīat oblātiō gentium accepta, et sānctificāta in Spīritū Sānctō.But I have written to you, brothers, rather boldly in part, as if bringing you back to remembrance: on account of the grace which has been given to me by God, that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the nations: sanctifying the Gospel of God, so that the offering of the nations may become acceptable, and sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
Rm 15:17Habeō igitur glōriam in Chrīstō Jēsū ad Deum.I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God. Rm 15:18Nōn enim audeō aliquid loquī eōrum, quae per mē nōn efficit Chrīstus in obēdientiam gentium, verbō et factīs: in virtūte signōrum, et prōdigiōrum, in virtūte Spīritūs Sānctī: ita ut ab Jerūsalem per circuitum ūsque ad Illyricum replēverim Evangelium Chrīstī.For I do not dare to speak of anything of those things which Christ does not bring about through me for the obedience of the nations, by word and deeds: in the power of signs, and of wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit: so that from Jerusalem round about as far as Illyricum I have filled out the Gospel of Christ. Rm 15:20Sīc autem praedicāvī Evangelium hoc, nōn ubi nōminātus est Chrīstus, nē super aliēnum fundāmentum aedificārem: sed sīcut scrīptum est: Quibus nōn est annūntiātum dē eō, vidēbunt: et quī nōn audiērunt, intelligent.And thus I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ has been named, so that I might not build upon another's foundation: but just as it has been written: "Those to whom it has not been announced about him, will see: and those who have not heard, will understand."
Rm 15:22Propter quod et impediēbar plūrimum venīre ad vōs, et prohibitus sum ūsque adhūc.On account of which I was both being hindered very much from coming to you, and have been prevented up till now. Rm 15:23Nunc vērō ulterius locum nōn habēns in hīs regiōnibus, cupiditātem autem habēns veniendī ad vōs ex multīs jam praecēdentibus annīs: cum in Hispāniam proficīscī coeperō, spērō quod praeteriēns videam vōs, et ā vōbīs dēdūcar illūc, sī vōbīs prīmum ex parte fruitus fuerō.But now, no longer having place in these regions, and having a longing for coming to you from many years now gone before: when I have begun to set out into Spain, I hope that in passing I may see you, and be escorted there by you, if first I have enjoyed you in part. Rm 15:25Nunc igitur proficīscar in Jerūsalem ministrāre sānctīs.Now therefore I will set out to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. Rm 15:26Probāvērunt enim Macedonia et Achāia collātiōnem aliquam facere in pauperēs sānctōrum, quī sunt in Jerūsalem.For Macedonia and Achaia have seen fit to make some contribution for the poor of the saints, who are in Jerusalem.
Rm 15:27Placuit enim eīs: et dēbitōrēs sunt eōrum.For it has pleased them: and they are their debtors. Rm 15:27Nam sī spīrituālium eōrum participēs factī sunt gentīlēs, dēbent et in carnālibus ministrāre illīs.For if the Gentiles have been made sharers of their spiritual things, they ought also to minister to them in fleshly things. Rm 15:28Hoc igitur cum cōnsummāverō, et assignāverō eīs frūctum hunc, per vōs proficīscar in Hispāniam.When therefore I have completed this, and assigned this fruit to them, I will set out through you into Spain. Rm 15:29Sciō autem quoniam veniēns ad vōs, in abundantiā benedictiōnis Evangeliī Chrīstī veniam.And I know that, coming to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. Rm 15:30Obsecrō ergō vōs frātrēs per Dominum nostrum Jēsum Chrīstum, et per cāritātem Sānctī Spīritūs, ut adjuvētis mē in ōrātiōnibus vestrīs prō mē ad Deum, ut līberer ab īnfidēlibus, quī sunt in Jūdaeā, et obsequiī meī oblātiō accepta fīat in Jerūsalem sānctīs, ut veniam ad vōs in gaudiō per voluntātem Deī, et refrīgerer vōbīscum.I beg you therefore, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Holy Spirit, to help me in your prayers for me to God, that I may be freed from the unbelievers, who are in Judea, and that the offering of my service may become acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem, so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be refreshed with you.
Rm 15:33Deus autem pācis sit cum omnibus vōbīs.And may the God of peace be with you all. Rm 15:33Āmēn.Amen.
