Romans 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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,

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

(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.

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

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.

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

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:

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

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

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

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

Δια τουτο και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

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

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

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

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

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

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