Romans 15
Revised Literal Translation
1WeG1473 thenG1161 that are strongG1415 oughtG3784 to bearG941 the infirmitiesG3588G771 of the weakG102, andG2532 notG3361 to pleaseG700 ourselvesG1438. 2LetG700 every oneG1538 of usG1473 pleaseG700 his neighbourG4139 forG1519 his goodG18 toG4314 edificationG3619. 3ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG3588G5547 pleasedG700 notG3756 himselfG1438; butG235, asG2531 it is writtenG1125, The reproachesG3588G3680 of them that reproachedG3679 theeG4771 fellG1968 onG1909 meG1473. 4
ForG1063 whatsoever thingsG3745 were written aforetime were writtenG4270 forG1519 ourG2251 learningG1319, thatG2443 weG2192 throughG1223 patienceG3588G5281 andG2532 comfortG3588G3874 of the scripturesG3588G1124 might haveG2192 hopeG3588G1680. 5
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of patienceG3588G5281 andG2532 consolationG3588G3874 grantG1325 youG4771 to be likemindedG5426 oneG1722 toward anotherG240 according toG2596 ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 6ThatG2443 ye mayG1392 withG1722 one mindG3661 and oneG1520 mouthG4750 glorifyG1392 GodG3588G2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 ofG3588G2962 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
7WhereforeG1352 receive yeG4355 one anotherG240, asG2531 ChristG3588G5547 alsoG2532 receivedG4355 usG1473 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316. 8NowG1161 I say thatG3004 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG1096 a ministerG1249 of the circumcisionG4061 forG5228 the truthG225 of GodG2316, toG1519 confirmG950 the promisesG3588G1860 made unto the fathersG3588G3962: 9AndG1161 thatG1392 the GentilesG1484 might glorifyG1392 GodG3588G2316 forG5228 his mercyG1656; asG2531 it is writtenG1125, ForG1223 this causeG3778 I will confessG1843 to theeG4771 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 singG5567 untoG3588G3686 thyG4771 nameG3588G3686. 10AndG2532 againG3825 he saithG3004, RejoiceG2165, ye GentilesG1484, withG3326 hisG846 peopleG3588G2992. 11AndG2532 againG3825, PraiseG134 the LordG3588G2962, allG3956 ye GentilesG3588G1484; andG2532 laudG1867 himG846, allG3956 ye peopleG3588G2992. 12AndG2532 againG3825, IsaiahG2268 saithG3004, There shall beG1510 a rootG3588G4491 of JesseG2421, andG2532 he that shall riseG450 to reign overG757 the GentilesG1484; inG1909 himG846 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679. 13
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG3588G1680 fillG4137 youG4771 withG5479 allG3956 joyG5479 andG2532 peaceG1515 inG1722 believingG4100, thatG1519 yeG4771 may aboundG4052 inG1722 hopeG3588G1680, throughG1722 the powerG1411 of theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 14
AndG1161 IG1473 myselfG846 alsoG2532 am persuadedG3982 ofG4012 youG4771, myG1473 brethrenG80, thatG3754 yeG1510 alsoG2532 areG1510 fullG3324 of goodnessG19, filledG4137 withG1108 allG3956 knowledgeG1108, ableG1410 alsoG2532 to admonishG3560 one anotherG240. 15NeverthelessG1161, brethrenG80, I have writtenG1125 the more boldlyG5112 unto youG4771 inG575 some sortG3313, asG5613 puttingG1878 youG4771 in mindG1878, because ofG1223 the graceG3588G5485 that is givenG1325 to meG1473 ofG5259 GodG3588G2316, 16ThatG1519 IG1473 should beG1510 the ministerG3011 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 the GentilesG3588G1484, ministeringG2418 the gospelG3588G2098 of GodG3588G2316, thatG2443 the offering upG3588G4376 of the GentilesG3588G1484 might beG1096 acceptableG2144, being sanctifiedG37 byG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151.
17I haveG2192 thereforeG3767 whereof I may gloryG2746 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 inG2746 those things which pertainG3588 toG4314 GodG2316. 18ForG1063 I willG5111 notG3756 dareG5111 to speakG2980 of any of those thingsG5100 whichG3739 ChristG5547 hathG2716 notG3756 wroughtG2716 byG1223 meG1473, to makeG1519 the GentilesG1484 obedientG5218, by wordG3056 andG2532 deedG2041, 19ThroughG1722 mightyG1411 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, byG1722 the powerG1411 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316; so thatG5620 fromG575 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 round aboutG2945 untoG3360 IllyricumG3588G2437, I have fully preachedG4137 the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547. 20YeaG1161, soG3779 have I strivedG5389 to preach the gospelG2097, notG3756 whereG3699 ChristG5547 was namedG3687, lestG3361 I should buildG3618 uponG1909 another man’sG245 foundationG2310: 21ButG235 asG2531 it is writtenG1125, To whomG3739 heG846 wasG312 notG3756 spokenG312 ofG4012, they shall seeG3708: andG2532 they that haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 shall understandG4920. 22
For which causeG1352 alsoG2532 I have beenG1465 muchG4183 hinderedG1465 from comingG2064 toG4314 youG4771. 23ButG1161 nowG3570 havingG2192 no moreG3371 placeG5117 inG1722 theseG3778 partsG3588G2824, andG1161 havingG2192 a great desireG1974 theseG575 manyG4183 yearsG2094 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771; 24WhensoeverG1437 I take my journeyG4198 intoG1519 SpainG3588G4681, I will comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771: forG1063 I trustG1679 to seeG2300 youG4771 in my journeyG1279, andG2532 to be brought on my wayG4311 thitherwardG1563 byG5259 youG4771, ifG1437 firstG4412 I beG1705 somewhatG3313 filled withG1705 yourG4771 company. 25ButG1161 nowG3570 I goG4198 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419 to ministerG1247 unto the saintsG40. 26ForG1063 it hath pleased themG2106 of MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882 to makeG4160 aG2842 certainG5100 contributionG2842 forG1519 the poorG4434 saintsG40 which areG3588 atG1722 JerusalemG2419. 27It hath pleased themG2106 verilyG1063; andG2532 theirG846 debtorsG3781 they areG1510. ForG1063 ifG1487 the GentilesG3588G1484 have been made partakers ofG2841 theirG846 spiritual thingsG4152, their duty isG3784 alsoG2532 to ministerG3008 unto themG846 inG1722 carnal thingsG4559. 28WhenG2005 thereforeG3767 I have performedG2005 thisG3778, andG2532 have sealedG4972 to themG846 thisG3778 fruitG3588G2590, I will comeG565 byG1223 youG4771 intoG1519 SpainG3588G4681. 29AndG1161 I am sureG1492 thatG3754, when I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771, I shall comeG2064 inG1722 the fulnessG4138 of the blessingG2129 of the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547. 30
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG4771, brethrenG80, for theG1223 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 Christ’sG5547 sakeG1223, andG2532 forG1223 the loveG3588G26 of the SpiritG3588G4151, that ye strive togetherG4865 with meG1473 inG1722 your prayersG3588G4335 toG4314 GodG3588G2316 forG5228 meG1473; 31ThatG2443 I may be deliveredG4506 fromG575 them that do not believeG544 inG1722 JudaeaG3588G2449; andG2532 thatG2443 myG1473 serviceG3588G1248 whichG3588 I have forG1519 JerusalemG2419 may beG1096 acceptedG2144 of the saintsG40; 32ThatG2443 I may comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 withG1722 joyG5479 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 may withG4875 youG4771 be refreshedG4875. 33NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG3588G1515 be withG3326 youG4771 allG3956. AmenG281.
