Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
1αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι συμμαρτυρουσησ μοι τησ συνειδησεωσ μου εν πνευματι αγιω
2That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
2οτι λυπη μοι εστιν μεγαλη και αδιαλειπτοσ οδυνη τη καρδια μου
3For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
3ευχομην γαρ αυτοσ εγω αναθεμα ειναι απο του χριστου υπερ των αδελφων μου των συγγενων μου κατα σαρκα
4Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
4οιτινεσ εισιν ισραηλιται ων η υιοθεσια και η δοξα και αι διαθηκαι και η νομοθεσια και η λατρεια και αι επαγγελιαι
5Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
5ων οι πατερεσ και εξ ων ο χριστοσ το κατα σαρκα ο ων επι παντων θεοσ ευλογητοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ αμην
6Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
6ουχ οιον δε οτι εκπεπτωκεν ο λογοσ του θεου ου γαρ παντεσ οι εξ ισραηλ ουτοι ισραηλ
7Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
7ουδ οτι εισιν σπερμα αβρααμ παντεσ τεκνα αλλ εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
8That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
8τουτ εστιν ου τα τεκνα τησ σαρκοσ ταυτα τεκνα του θεου αλλα τα τεκνα τησ επαγγελιασ λογιζεται εισ σπερμα
9For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
9επαγγελιασ γαρ ο λογοσ ουτοσ κατα τον καιρον τουτον ελευσομαι και εσται τη σαρρα υιοσ
10And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
10ου μονον δε αλλα και ρεβεκκα εξ ενοσ κοιτην εχουσα ισαακ του πατροσ ημων
11For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,)
11μηπω γαρ γεννηθεντων μηδε πραξαντων τι αγαθον η κακον ινα η κατ εκλογην προθεσισ του θεου μενη ουκ εξ εργων αλλ εκ του καλουντοσ
12Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
12ερρηθη αυτη οτι ο μειζων δουλευσει τω ελασσονι
13As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
13καθωσ γεγραπται τον ιακωβ ηγαπησα τον δε ησαυ εμισησα
14What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
14τι ουν ερουμεν μη αδικια παρα τω θεω μη γενοιτο
15For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.
15τω γαρ μωυση λεγει ελεησω ον αν ελεω και οικτειρησω ον αν οικτειρω
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
16αρα ουν ου του θελοντοσ ουδε του τρεχοντοσ αλλα του ελεουντοσ θεου
17For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
17λεγει γαρ η γραφη τω φαραω οτι εισ αυτο τουτο εξηγειρα σε οπωσ ενδειξωμαι εν σοι την δυναμιν μου και οπωσ διαγγελη το ονομα μου εν παση τη γη
18Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
18αρα ουν ον θελει ελεει ον δε θελει σκληρυνει
19Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
19ερεισ ουν μοι τι ετι μεμφεται τω γαρ βουληματι αυτου τισ ανθεστηκεν
20O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
20μενουνγε ω ανθρωπε συ τισ ει ο ανταποκρινομενοσ τω θεω μη ερει το πλασμα τω πλασαντι τι με εποιησασ ουτωσ
21Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
21η ουκ εχει εξουσιαν ο κεραμευσ του πηλου εκ του αυτου φυραματοσ ποιησαι ο μεν εισ τιμην σκευοσ ο δε εισ ατιμιαν
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
22ει δε θελων ο θεοσ ενδειξασθαι την οργην και γνωρισαι το δυνατον αυτου ηνεγκεν εν πολλη μακροθυμια σκευη οργησ κατηρτισμενα εισ απωλειαν
23That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
23και ινα γνωριση τον πλουτον τησ δοξησ αυτου επι σκευη ελεουσ α προητοιμασεν εισ δοξαν
24Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
24ουσ και εκαλεσεν ημασ ου μονον εξ ιουδαιων αλλα και εξ εθνων
25As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.
25ωσ και εν τω ωσηε λεγει καλεσω τον ου λαον μου λαον μου και την ουκ ηγαπημενην ηγαπημενην
26And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
26και εσται εν τω τοπω ου ερρηθη αυτοισ ου λαοσ μου υμεισ εκει κληθησονται υιοι θεου ζωντοσ
27And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
27ησαιασ δε κραζει υπερ του ισραηλ εαν η ο αριθμοσ των υιων ισραηλ ωσ η αμμοσ τησ θαλασσησ το καταλειμμα σωθησεται
28For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
28λογον γαρ συντελων και συντεμνων εν δικαιοσυνη οτι λογον συντετμημενον ποιησει κυριοσ επι τησ γησ
29And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
29και καθωσ προειρηκεν ησαιασ ει μη κυριοσ σαβαωθ εγκατελιπεν ημιν σπερμα ωσ σοδομα αν εγενηθημεν και ωσ γομορρα αν ωμοιωθημεν
30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
30τι ουν ερουμεν οτι εθνη τα μη διωκοντα δικαιοσυνην κατελαβεν δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσυνην δε την εκ πιστεωσ
31But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
31ισραηλ δε διωκων νομον δικαιοσυνησ εισ νομον δικαιοσυνησ ουκ εφθασεν
32Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
32δια τι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεωσ αλλ ωσ εξ εργων νομου προσεκοψαν γαρ τω λιθω του προσκομματοσ
33As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
33καθωσ γεγραπται ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον προσκομματοσ και πετραν σκανδαλου και πασ ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
