Romans 4

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

Τι λοιπον θελομεν ειπει οτι απηλαυσεν Αβρααμ ο πατηρ ημων κατα σαρκα;

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

Διοτι εαν ο Αβρααμ εδικαιωθη εκ των εργων, εχει καυχημα, αλλ ουχι ενωπιον του Θεου.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Επειδη τι λεγει η γραφη; Και επιστευσεν Αβρααμ εις τον Θεον, και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

Εις δε τον εργαζομενον ο μισθος δεν λογιζεται ως χαρις, αλλ ως χρεος

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

εις τον μη εργαζομενον ομως, πιστευοντα δε εις τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη, η πιστις αυτου λογιζεται εις δικαιοσυνην,

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

καθως και ο Δαβιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου, εις τον οποιον ο Θεος λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην, χωρις εργων

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Μακαριοι εκεινοι, των οποιων συνεχωρηθησαν αι ανομιαι και των οποιων εσκεπασθησαν αι αμαρτιαι

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

μακαριος ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον ο Κυριος δεν θελει λογιζεσθαι αμαρτιαν.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Ουτος λοιπον ο μακαρισμος γινεται δια τους περιτετμημενους η και δια τους απεριτμητους; διοτι λεγομεν οτι η πιστις ελογισθη εις τον Αβρααμ εις δικαιοσυνην.

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Πως λοιπον ελογισθη; οτε ητο εν περιτομη η εν ακροβυστια; Ουχι εν περιτομη αλλ εν ακροβυστια

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

και ελαβε το σημειον της περιτομης, σφραγιδα της δικαιοσυνης της εκ πιστεως της εν τη ακροβυστια, δια να ηναι αυτος πατηρ παντων των πιστευοντων ενω υπαρχουσιν εν τη ακροβυστια, δια να λογισθη και εις αυτους η δικαιοσυνη,

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

και πατηρ της περιτομης, ουχι μονον εις τους περιτετμημενους, αλλα και εις τους περιπατουντας εις τα ιχνη της πιστεως του πατρος ημων Αβρααμ της εν τη ακροβυστια.

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Επειδη η επαγγελια προς τον Αβρααμ η προς το σπερμα αυτου, οτι εμελλε να ηναι κληρονομος του κοσμου, δεν εγεινε δια του νομου, αλλα δια της δικαιοσυνης της εκ πιστεως.

For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

Διοτι εαν ηναι κληρονομοι οι εκ του νομου, η πιστις εματαιωθη και κατηργηθη η επαγγελια

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

επειδη ο νομος επιφερει οργην διοτι οπου δεν υπαρχει νομος, ουδε παραβασις υπαρχει.

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure 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 η κληρονομια, δια να ηναι κατα χαριν, ωστε η επαγγελια να ηναι βεβαια εις απαν το σπερμα, ουχι μονον το εκ του νομου, αλλα και το εκ της πιστεως του Αβρααμ, οστις ειναι πατηρ παντων ημων,

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον, οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων σε κατεστησα, ενωπιον του Θεου εις τον οποιον επιστευσε, του ζωοποιουντος τους νεκρους και καλουντος τα μη οντα ως οντα

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

οστις καιτοι μη εχων ελπιδα επιστευσεν επ ελπιδι, οτι εμελλε να γεινη πατηρ πολλων εθνων κατα το λαληθεν Ουτω θελει εισθαι το σπερμα σου

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

και μη ασθενησας κατα την πιστιν δεν εσυλλογισθη το σωμα αυτου οτι ητο ηδη νενεκρωμενον, εκατονταετης περιπου ων, και την νεκρωσιν της μητρας της Σαρρας

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

ουδε εδιστασεν εις την επαγγελιαν του Θεου δια της απιστιας, αλλ ενεδυναμωθη εις την πιστιν, δοξασας τον Θεον,

And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

και πεποιθως οτι εκεινο, το οποιον υπεσχεθη, ειναι δυνατος και να εκτελεση.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Δια τουτο και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

Δεν εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον, οτι ελογισθη εις αυτον,

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

αλλα και δι ημας, εις τους οποιους μελλει να λογισθη, τους πιστευοντας εις τον αναστησαντα εκ νεκρων Ιησουν τον Κυριον ημων,

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

οστις παρεδοθη δια τας αμαρτιας ημων και ανεστη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων.
