Romans 4
1 What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
τι ουν ερουμεν αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων ευρηκεναι κατα σαρκα
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
ει γαρ αβρααμ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη εχει καυχημα αλλ ου προσ τον θεον
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
τι γαρ η γραφη λεγει επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην
4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
τω δε εργαζομενω ο μισθοσ ου λογιζεται κατα χαριν αλλα κατα οφειλημα
5 But 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.
τω δε μη εργαζομενω πιστευοντι δε επι τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη λογιζεται η πιστισ αυτου εισ δικαιοσυνην
6 As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
καθαπερ και δαυιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου ω ο θεοσ λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην χωρισ εργων
7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
μακαριοσ ανηρ ω ου μη λογισηται κυριοσ αμαρτιαν
9 This 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.
ο μακαρισμοσ ουν ουτοσ επι την περιτομην η και επι την ακροβυστιαν λεγομεν γαρ οτι ελογισθη τω αβρααμ η πιστισ εισ δικαιοσυνην
10 How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
πωσ ουν ελογισθη εν περιτομη οντι η εν ακροβυστια ουκ εν περιτομη αλλ εν ακροβυστια
11 And 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:
και 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
12 And 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.
και πατερα περιτομησ τοισ ουκ εκ περιτομησ μονον αλλα και τοισ στοιχουσιν τοισ ιχνεσιν τησ πιστεωσ τησ εν τη ακροβυστια του πατροσ ημων αβρααμ
13 For 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.
ου γαρ δια νομου η επαγγελια τω αβρααμ η τω σπερματι αυτου το κληρονομον αυτον ειναι του κοσμου αλλα δια δικαιοσυνησ πιστεωσ
14 For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
ει γαρ οι εκ νομου κληρονομοι κεκενωται η πιστισ και κατηργηται η επαγγελια
15 For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
ο γαρ νομοσ οργην κατεργαζεται ου γαρ ουκ εστιν νομοσ ουδε παραβασισ
16 Therefore 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,
δια 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.
καθωσ γεγραπται οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων τεθεικα σε κατεναντι ου επιστευσεν θεου του ζωοποιουντοσ τουσ νεκρουσ και καλουντοσ τα μη οντα ωσ οντα
18 Who 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.
οσ παρ ελπιδα επ ελπιδι επιστευσεν εισ το γενεσθαι αυτον πατερα πολλων εθνων κατα το ειρημενον ουτωσ εσται το σπερμα σου
19 And 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.
και μη ασθενησασ τη πιστει ου κατενοησεν το εαυτου σωμα ηδη νενεκρωμενον εκατονταετησ που υπαρχων και την νεκρωσιν τησ μητρασ σαρρασ
20 In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
εισ δε την επαγγελιαν του θεου ου διεκριθη τη απιστια αλλ ενεδυναμωθη τη πιστει δουσ δοξαν τω θεω
21 Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
και πληροφορηθεισ οτι ο επηγγελται δυνατοσ εστιν και ποιησαι
22 And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
διο και ελογισθη αυτω εισ δικαιοσυνην
23 Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
ουκ εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον οτι ελογισθη αυτω
24 But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
αλλα και δι ημασ οισ μελλει λογιζεσθαι τοισ πιστευουσιν επι τον εγειραντα ιησουν τον κυριον ημων εκ νεκρων
25 Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
οσ παρεδοθη δια τα παραπτωματα ημων και ηγερθη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων
