Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1λεγω ουν μη απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου μη γενοιτο και γαρ εγω ισραηλιτησ ειμι εκ σπερματοσ αβρααμ φυλησ βενιαμιν
2God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
2ουκ απωσατο ο θεοσ τον λαον αυτου ον προεγνω η ουκ οιδατε εν ηλια τι λεγει η γραφη ωσ εντυγχανει τω θεω κατα του ισραηλ λεγων
3“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
3κυριε τουσ προφητασ σου απεκτειναν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν καγω υπελειφθην μονοσ και ζητουσιν την ψυχην μου
4But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
4αλλα τι λεγει αυτω ο χρηματισμοσ κατελιπον εμαυτω επτακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ οιτινεσ ουκ εκαμψαν γονυ τη βααλ
5Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5ουτωσ ουν και εν τω νυν καιρω λειμμα κατ εκλογην χαριτοσ γεγονεν
6And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
6ει δε χαριτι ουκετι εξ εργων επει η χαρισ ουκετι γινεται χαρισ ει δε εξ εργων ουκετι εστιν χαρισ επει το εργον ουκετι εστιν εργον
7What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
7τι ουν ο επιζητει ισραηλ τουτο ουκ επετυχεν η δε εκλογη επετυχεν οι δε λοιποι επωρωθησαν
8According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
8καθωσ γεγραπται εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ πνευμα κατανυξεωσ οφθαλμουσ του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν εωσ τησ σημερον ημερασ
9David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
9και δαυιδ λεγει γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εισ παγιδα και εισ θηραν και εισ σκανδαλον και εισ ανταποδομα αυτοισ
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
10σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντοσ συγκαμψον
11I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
11λεγω ουν μη επταισαν ινα πεσωσιν μη γενοιτο αλλα τω αυτων παραπτωματι η σωτηρια τοισ εθνεσιν εισ το παραζηλωσαι αυτουσ
12Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
12ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτοσ κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτοσ εθνων ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων
13For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
13υμιν γαρ λεγω τοισ εθνεσιν εφ οσον μεν ειμι εγω εθνων αποστολοσ την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω
14if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14ει πωσ παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινασ εξ αυτων
15For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
15ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου τισ η προσληψισ ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων
16If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
16ει δε η απαρχη αγια και το φυραμα και ει η ριζα αγια και οι κλαδοι
17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
17ει δε τινεσ των κλαδων εξεκλασθησαν συ δε αγριελαιοσ ων ενεκεντρισθησ εν αυτοισ και συγκοινωνοσ τησ ριζησ και τησ πιοτητοσ τησ ελαιασ εγενου
18don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
18μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων ει δε κατακαυχασαι ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεισ αλλ η ριζα σε
19You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
19ερεισ ουν εξεκλασθησαν κλαδοι ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω
20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
20καλωσ τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν συ δε τη πιστει εστηκασ μη υψηλοφρονει αλλα φοβου
21for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
21ει γαρ ο θεοσ των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο μηπωσ ουδε σου φεισεται
22See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
22ιδε ουν χρηστοτητα και αποτομιαν θεου επι μεν τουσ πεσοντασ αποτομιαν επι δε σε χρηστοτητα εαν επιμεινησ τη χρηστοτητι επει και συ εκκοπηση
23They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23και εκεινοι δε εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια εγκεντρισθησονται δυνατοσ γαρ ο θεοσ εστιν παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτουσ
24For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24ει γαρ συ εκ τησ κατα φυσιν εξεκοπησ αγριελαιου και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθησ εισ καλλιελαιον ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι κατα φυσιν εγκεντρισθησονται τη ιδια ελαια
25For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
25ου γαρ θελω υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι το μυστηριον τουτο ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοισ φρονιμοι οτι πωρωσισ απο μερουσ τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρι ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη
26and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26και ουτωσ πασ ισραηλ σωθησεται καθωσ γεγραπται ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενοσ και αποστρεψει ασεβειασ απο ιακωβ
27This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
27και αυτη αυτοισ η παρ εμου διαθηκη οταν αφελωμαι τασ αμαρτιασ αυτων
28Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
28κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον εχθροι δι υμασ κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τουσ πατερασ
29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
29αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησισ του θεου
30For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
30ωσπερ γαρ και υμεισ ποτε ηπειθησατε τω θεω νυν δε ηλεηθητε τη τουτων απειθεια
31even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
31ουτωσ και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν
32For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
32συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεοσ τουσ παντασ εισ απειθειαν ινα τουσ παντασ ελεηση
33Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
33ω βαθοσ πλουτου και σοφιασ και γνωσεωσ θεου ωσ ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου
34“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
34τισ γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου η τισ συμβουλοσ αυτου εγενετο
35“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
35η τισ προεδωκεν αυτω και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω
36For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
36οτι εξ αυτου και δι αυτου και εισ αυτον τα παντα αυτω η δοξα εισ τουσ αιωνασ αμην
