Berean Standard Bible
1αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι συμμαρτυρουσησ μοι τησ συνειδησεωσ μου εν πνευματι αγιω
1I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
2οτι λυπη μοι εστιν μεγαλη και αδιαλειπτοσ οδυνη τη καρδια μου
2I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
3ευχομην γαρ αυτοσ εγω αναθεμα ειναι απο του χριστου υπερ των αδελφων μου των συγγενων μου κατα σαρκα
3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
4οιτινεσ εισιν ισραηλιται ων η υιοθεσια και η δοξα και αι διαθηκαι και η νομοθεσια και η λατρεια και αι επαγγελιαι
4the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
5ων οι πατερεσ και εξ ων ο χριστοσ το κατα σαρκα ο ων επι παντων θεοσ ευλογητοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ αμην
5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.
6ουχ οιον δε οτι εκπεπτωκεν ο λογοσ του θεου ου γαρ παντεσ οι εξ ισραηλ ουτοι ισραηλ
6It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7ουδ οτι εισιν σπερμα αβρααμ παντεσ τεκνα αλλ εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
7Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
8τουτ εστιν ου τα τεκνα τησ σαρκοσ ταυτα τεκνα του θεου αλλα τα τεκνα τησ επαγγελιασ λογιζεται εισ σπερμα
8So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
9επαγγελιασ γαρ ο λογοσ ουτοσ κατα τον καιρον τουτον ελευσομαι και εσται τη σαρρα υιοσ
9For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10ου μονον δε αλλα και ρεβεκκα εξ ενοσ κοιτην εχουσα ισαακ του πατροσ ημων
10Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
11μηπω γαρ γεννηθεντων μηδε πραξαντων τι αγαθον η κακον ινα η κατ εκλογην προθεσισ του θεου μενη ουκ εξ εργων αλλ εκ του καλουντοσ
11Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
12ερρηθη αυτη οτι ο μειζων δουλευσει τω ελασσονι
12not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13καθωσ γεγραπται τον ιακωβ ηγαπησα τον δε ησαυ εμισησα
13So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14τι ουν ερουμεν μη αδικια παρα τω θεω μη γενοιτο
14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
15τω γαρ μωυση λεγει ελεησω ον αν ελεω και οικτειρησω ον αν οικτειρω
15For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16αρα ουν ου του θελοντοσ ουδε του τρεχοντοσ αλλα του ελεουντοσ θεου
16So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
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
17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18αρα ουν ον θελει ελεει ον δε θελει σκληρυνει
18Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
19ερεισ ουν μοι τι ετι μεμφεται τω γαρ βουληματι αυτου τισ ανθεστηκεν
19One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
20μενουνγε ω ανθρωπε συ τισ ει ο ανταποκρινομενοσ τω θεω μη ερει το πλασμα τω πλασαντι τι με εποιησασ ουτωσ
20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
21η ουκ εχει εξουσιαν ο κεραμευσ του πηλου εκ του αυτου φυραματοσ ποιησαι ο μεν εισ τιμην σκευοσ ο δε εισ ατιμιαν
21Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
22ει δε θελων ο θεοσ ενδειξασθαι την οργην και γνωρισαι το δυνατον αυτου ηνεγκεν εν πολλη μακροθυμια σκευη οργησ κατηρτισμενα εισ απωλειαν
22What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
23και ινα γνωριση τον πλουτον τησ δοξησ αυτου επι σκευη ελεουσ α προητοιμασεν εισ δοξαν
23What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
24ουσ και εκαλεσεν ημασ ου μονον εξ ιουδαιων αλλα και εξ εθνων
24including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
25ωσ και εν τω ωσηε λεγει καλεσω τον ου λαον μου λαον μου και την ουκ ηγαπημενην ηγαπημενην
25As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
26και εσται εν τω τοπω ου ερρηθη αυτοισ ου λαοσ μου υμεισ εκει κληθησονται υιοι θεου ζωντοσ
26and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27ησαιασ δε κραζει υπερ του ισραηλ εαν η ο αριθμοσ των υιων ισραηλ ωσ η αμμοσ τησ θαλασσησ το καταλειμμα σωθησεται
27Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28λογον γαρ συντελων και συντεμνων εν δικαιοσυνη οτι λογον συντετμημενον ποιησει κυριοσ επι τησ γησ
28For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
29και καθωσ προειρηκεν ησαιασ ει μη κυριοσ σαβαωθ εγκατελιπεν ημιν σπερμα ωσ σοδομα αν εγενηθημεν και ωσ γομορρα αν ωμοιωθημεν
29It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30τι ουν ερουμεν οτι εθνη τα μη διωκοντα δικαιοσυνην κατελαβεν δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσυνην δε την εκ πιστεωσ
30What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31ισραηλ δε διωκων νομον δικαιοσυνησ εισ νομον δικαιοσυνησ ουκ εφθασεν
31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32δια τι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεωσ αλλ ωσ εξ εργων νομου προσεκοψαν γαρ τω λιθω του προσκομματοσ
32Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33καθωσ γεγραπται ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον προσκομματοσ και πετραν σκανδαλου και πασ ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
33as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
