Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
1τι ουν το περισσον του ιουδαιου η τισ η ωφελεια τησ περιτομησ
2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
2πολυ κατα παντα τροπον πρωτον μεν γαρ οτι επιστευθησαν τα λογια του θεου
3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
3τι γαρ ει ηπιστησαν τινεσ μη η απιστια αυτων την πιστιν του θεου καταργησει
4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
4μη γενοιτο γινεσθω δε ο θεοσ αληθησ πασ δε ανθρωποσ ψευστησ καθωσ γεγραπται οπωσ αν δικαιωθησ εν τοισ λογοισ σου και νικησησ εν τω κρινεσθαι σε
5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
5ει δε η αδικια ημων θεου δικαιοσυνην συνιστησιν τι ερουμεν μη αδικοσ ο θεοσ ο επιφερων την οργην κατα ανθρωπον λεγω
6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
6μη γενοιτο επει πωσ κρινει ο θεοσ τον κοσμον
7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
7ει γαρ η αληθεια του θεου εν τω εμω ψευσματι επερισσευσεν εισ την δοξαν αυτου τι ετι καγω ωσ αμαρτωλοσ κρινομαι
8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
8και μη καθωσ βλασφημουμεθα και καθωσ φασιν τινεσ ημασ λεγειν οτι ποιησωμεν τα κακα ινα ελθη τα αγαθα ων το κριμα ενδικον εστιν
9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
9τι ουν προεχομεθα ου παντωσ προητιασαμεθα γαρ ιουδαιουσ τε και ελληνασ παντασ υφ αμαρτιαν ειναι
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
10καθωσ γεγραπται οτι ουκ εστιν δικαιοσ ουδε εισ
11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
11ουκ εστιν ο συνιων ουκ εστιν ο εκζητων τον θεον
12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
12παντεσ εξεκλιναν αμα ηχρειωθησαν ουκ εστιν ποιων χρηστοτητα ουκ εστιν εωσ ενοσ
13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
13ταφοσ ανεωγμενοσ ο λαρυγξ αυτων ταισ γλωσσαισ αυτων εδολιουσαν ιοσ ασπιδων υπο τα χειλη αυτων
14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
14ων το στομα αρασ και πικριασ γεμει
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
15οξεισ οι ποδεσ αυτων εκχεαι αιμα
16ruin and misery lie in their wake,
16συντριμμα και ταλαιπωρια εν ταισ οδοισ αυτων
17and the way of peace they have not known.”
17και οδον ειρηνησ ουκ εγνωσαν
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18ουκ εστιν φοβοσ θεου απεναντι των οφθαλμων αυτων
19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
19οιδαμεν δε οτι οσα ο νομοσ λεγει τοισ εν τω νομω λαλει ινα παν στομα φραγη και υποδικοσ γενηται πασ ο κοσμοσ τω θεω
20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
20διοτι εξ εργων νομου ου δικαιωθησεται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου δια γαρ νομου επιγνωσισ αμαρτιασ
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
21νυνι δε χωρισ νομου δικαιοσυνη θεου πεφανερωται μαρτυρουμενη υπο του νομου και των προφητων
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
22δικαιοσυνη δε θεου δια πιστεωσ ιησου χριστου εισ παντασ και επι παντασ τουσ πιστευοντασ ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23παντεσ γαρ ημαρτον και υστερουνται τησ δοξησ του θεου
24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
24δικαιουμενοι δωρεαν τη αυτου χαριτι δια τησ απολυτρωσεωσ τησ εν χριστω ιησου
25God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
25ον προεθετο ο θεοσ ιλαστηριον δια τησ πιστεωσ εν τω αυτου αιματι εισ ενδειξιν τησ δικαιοσυνησ αυτου δια την παρεσιν των προγεγονοτων αμαρτηματων
26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
26εν τη ανοχη του θεου προσ ενδειξιν τησ δικαιοσυνησ αυτου εν τω νυν καιρω εισ το ειναι αυτον δικαιον και δικαιουντα τον εκ πιστεωσ ιησου
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
27που ουν η καυχησισ εξεκλεισθη δια ποιου νομου των εργων ουχι αλλα δια νομου πιστεωσ
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
28λογιζομεθα ουν πιστει δικαιουσθαι ανθρωπον χωρισ εργων νομου
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
29η ιουδαιων ο θεοσ μονον ουχι δε και εθνων ναι και εθνων
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
30επειπερ εισ ο θεοσ οσ δικαιωσει περιτομην εκ πιστεωσ και ακροβυστιαν δια τησ πιστεωσ
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.
31νομον ουν καταργουμεν δια τησ πιστεωσ μη γενοιτο αλλα νομον ιστωμεν
