Romans 4
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?
τι ουν ερουμεν αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων ευρηκεναι κατα σαρκα
2 For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;
ει γαρ αβρααμ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη εχει καυχημα αλλ ου προς τον θεον
3 for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
τι γαρ η γραφη λεγει επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
4 Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:
τω δε εργαζομενω ο μισθος ου λογιζεται κατα χαριν αλλα κατα το οφειλημα
5 but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
τω δε μη εργαζομενω πιστευοντι δε επι τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη λογιζεται η πιστις αυτου εις δικαιοσυνην
6 Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:
καθαπερ και δαβιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου ω ο θεος λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην χωρις εργων
7 Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:
μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι
8 blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.
μακαριος ανηρ ω ου μη λογισηται κυριος αμαρτιαν
9 [Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
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 has it been reckoned? 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 [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;
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 father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.
και πατερα περιτομης τοις ουκ εκ περιτομης μονον αλλα και τοις στοιχουσιν τοις ιχνεσιν της εν τη ακροβυστια πιστεως του πατρος ημων αβρααμ
13 For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness 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 which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.
ει γαρ οι εκ νομου κληρονομοι κεκενωται η πιστις και κατηργηται η επαγγελια
15 For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.
ο γαρ νομος οργην κατεργαζεται ου γαρ ουκ εστιν νομος ουδε παραβασις
16 Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is 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 (according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations, ) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;
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 to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, 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 not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,
και μη ασθενησας τη πιστει ου κατενοησεν το εαυτου σωμα ηδη νενεκρωμενον εκατονταετης που υπαρχων και την νεκρωσιν της μητρας σαρρας
20 and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength 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 and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;
και πληροφορηθεις οτι ο επηγγελται δυνατος εστιν και ποιησαι
22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
διο και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
23 Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
ουκ εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον οτι ελογισθη αυτω
24 but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,
αλλα και δι ημας οις μελλει λογιζεσθαι τοις πιστευουσιν επι τον εγειραντα ιησουν τον κυριον ημων εκ νεκρων
25 who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.
ος παρεδοθη δια τα παραπτωματα ημων και ηγερθη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων
