Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
1τι ουν ερουμεν αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων ευρηκεναι κατα σαρκα
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
2ει γαρ αβρααμ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη εχει καυχημα αλλ ου προσ τον θεον
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
3τι γαρ η γραφη λεγει επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην
4Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
4τω δε εργαζομενω ο μισθοσ ου λογιζεται κατα χαριν αλλα κατα οφειλημα
5But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
5τω δε μη εργαζομενω πιστευοντι δε επι τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη λογιζεται η πιστισ αυτου εισ δικαιοσυνην
6As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
6καθαπερ και δαυιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου ω ο θεοσ λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην χωρισ εργων
7Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
7μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
8μακαριοσ ανηρ ω ου μη λογισηται κυριοσ αμαρτιαν
9This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
9ο μακαρισμοσ ουν ουτοσ επι την περιτομην η και επι την ακροβυστιαν λεγομεν γαρ οτι ελογισθη τω αβρααμ η πιστισ εισ δικαιοσυνην
10How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10πωσ ουν ελογισθη εν περιτομη οντι η εν ακροβυστια ουκ εν περιτομη αλλ εν ακροβυστια
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
11και σημειον ελαβεν περιτομησ σφραγιδα τησ δικαιοσυνησ τησ πιστεωσ τησ εν τη ακροβυστια εισ το ειναι αυτον πατερα παντων των πιστευοντων δι ακροβυστιασ εισ το λογισθηναι και αυτοισ την δικαιοσυνην
12And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
12και πατερα περιτομησ τοισ ουκ εκ περιτομησ μονον αλλα και τοισ στοιχουσιν τοισ ιχνεσιν τησ πιστεωσ τησ εν τη ακροβυστια του πατροσ ημων αβρααμ
13For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.
13ου γαρ δια νομου η επαγγελια τω αβρααμ η τω σπερματι αυτου το κληρονομον αυτον ειναι του κοσμου αλλα δια δικαιοσυνησ πιστεωσ
14For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
14ει γαρ οι εκ νομου κληρονομοι κεκενωται η πιστισ και κατηργηται η επαγγελια
15For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15ο γαρ νομοσ οργην κατεργαζεται ου γαρ ουκ εστιν νομοσ ουδε παραβασισ
16Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
16δια τουτο εκ πιστεωσ ινα κατα χαριν εισ το ειναι βεβαιαν την επαγγελιαν παντι τω σπερματι ου τω εκ του νομου μονον αλλα και τω εκ πιστεωσ αβρααμ οσ εστιν πατηρ παντων ημων
17(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
17καθωσ γεγραπται οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων τεθεικα σε κατεναντι ου επιστευσεν θεου του ζωοποιουντοσ τουσ νεκρουσ και καλουντοσ τα μη οντα ωσ οντα
18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
18οσ παρ ελπιδα επ ελπιδι επιστευσεν εισ το γενεσθαι αυτον πατερα πολλων εθνων κατα το ειρημενον ουτωσ εσται το σπερμα σου
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
19και μη ασθενησασ τη πιστει ου κατενοησεν το εαυτου σωμα ηδη νενεκρωμενον εκατονταετησ που υπαρχων και την νεκρωσιν τησ μητρασ σαρρασ
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
20εισ δε την επαγγελιαν του θεου ου διεκριθη τη απιστια αλλ ενεδυναμωθη τη πιστει δουσ δοξαν τω θεω
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
21και πληροφορηθεισ οτι ο επηγγελται δυνατοσ εστιν και ποιησαι
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
22διο και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
23ουκ εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον οτι ελογισθη αυτω
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
24αλλα και δι ημασ οισ μελλει λογιζεσθαι τοισ πιστευουσιν επι τον εγειραντα ιησουν τον κυριον ημων εκ νεκρων
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
25οσ παρεδοθη δια τα παραπτωματα ημων και ηγερθη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων
