Romans 9
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι συμμαρτυρουσης μοι της συνειδησεως μου εν πνευματι αγιω
2 That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
οτι λυπη μοι εστιν μεγαλη και αδιαλειπτος οδυνη τη καρδια μου
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
ηυχομην γαρ αναθεμα ειναι αυτος εγω απο του χριστου υπερ των αδελφων μου των συγγενων μου κατα σαρκα
4 Who 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:
οιτινες εισιν ισραηλιται ων η υιοθεσια και η δοξα και αι διαθηκαι και η νομοθεσια και η λατρεια και αι επαγγελιαι
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ων οι πατερες και εξ ων ο χριστος το κατα σαρκα ο ων επι παντων θεος ευλογητος εις τους αιωνας αμην (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel:
ουχ οιον δε οτι εκπεπτωκεν ο λογος του θεου ου γαρ παντες οι εξ ισραηλ ουτοι ισραηλ
7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
ουδ οτι εισιν σπερμα αβρααμ παντες τεκνα αλλ εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
8 That 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.
τουτ εστιν ου τα τεκνα της σαρκος ταυτα τεκνα του θεου αλλα τα τεκνα της επαγγελιας λογιζεται εις σπερμα
9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
επαγγελιας γαρ ο λογος ουτος κατα τον καιρον τουτον ελευσομαι και εσται τη σαρρα υιος
10 And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.
ου μονον δε αλλα και ρεβεκκα εξ ενος κοιτην εχουσα ισαακ του πατρος ημων
11 For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand, )
μηπω γαρ γεννηθεντων μηδε πραξαντων τι αγαθον η φαυλον ινα η κατ εκλογην προθεσις του θεου μενη
12 Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.
ουκ εξ εργων αλλ εκ του καλουντος ερρεθη αυτη οτι ο μειζων δουλευσει τω ελασσονι
13 As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
{VAR1: καθαπερ } {VAR2: καθως } γεγραπται τον ιακωβ ηγαπησα τον δε ησαυ εμισησα
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.
τι ουν ερουμεν μη αδικια παρα τω θεω μη γενοιτο
15 For 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.
τω μωυσει γαρ λεγει ελεησω ον αν ελεω και οικτιρησω ον αν οικτιρω
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
αρα ουν ου του θελοντος ουδε του τρεχοντος αλλα του ελεωντος θεου
17 For 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.
λεγει 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
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.
αρα ουν ον θελει ελεει ον δε θελει σκληρυνει
19 Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?
ερεις μοι ουν τι {VAR2: [ουν] } ετι μεμφεται τω γαρ βουληματι αυτου τις ανθεστηκεν
20 O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?
ω ανθρωπε μενουνγε συ τις ει ο ανταποκρινομενος τω θεω μη ερει το πλασμα τω πλασαντι τι με εποιησας ουτως
21 Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
η ουκ εχει εξουσιαν ο κεραμευς του πηλου εκ του αυτου φυραματος ποιησαι ο μεν εις τιμην σκευος ο δε εις ατιμιαν
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,
ει δε θελων ο θεος ενδειξασθαι την οργην και γνωρισαι το δυνατον αυτου ηνεγκεν εν πολλη μακροθυμια σκευη οργης κατηρτισμενα εις απωλειαν
23 That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?
{VAR2: και } ινα γνωριση τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου επι σκευη ελεους α προητοιμασεν εις δοξαν
24 Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
ους και εκαλεσεν ημας ου μονον εξ ιουδαιων αλλα και εξ εθνων
25 As 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.
ως και εν τω ωσηε λεγει καλεσω τον ου λαον μου λαον μου και την ουκ ηγαπημενην ηγαπημενην
26 And 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.
και εσται εν τω τοπω ου ερρεθη {VAR1: [αυτοις] } {VAR2: αυτοις } ου λαος μου υμεις εκει κληθησονται υιοι θεου ζωντος
27 And 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.
ησαιας δε κραζει υπερ του ισραηλ εαν η ο αριθμος των υιων ισραηλ ως η αμμος της θαλασσης το υπολειμμα σωθησεται
28 For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
λογον γαρ συντελων και συντεμνων ποιησει κυριος επι της γης
29 And 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.
και καθως προειρηκεν ησαιας ει μη κυριος σαβαωθ εγκατελιπεν ημιν σπερμα ως σοδομα αν εγενηθημεν και ως γομορρα αν ωμοιωθημεν
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
τι ουν ερουμεν οτι εθνη τα μη διωκοντα δικαιοσυνην κατελαβεν δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσυνην δε την εκ πιστεως
31 But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
ισραηλ δε διωκων νομον δικαιοσυνης εις νομον ουκ εφθασεν
32 Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
δια τι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως αλλ ως εξ εργων προσεκοψαν τω λιθω του προσκομματος
33 As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
καθως γεγραπται ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον προσκομματος και πετραν σκανδαλου και ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
