Romans 15
1 We ought now we ourselves who [are] strong the weaknesses of the weak to bear and not ourselves to please;
Ὀφείλομεν δὲ ἡμεῖς οἱ δυνατοὶ τὰ ἀσθενήματα τῶν ἀδυνάτων βαστάζειν, καὶ μὴ ἑαυτοῖς ἀρέσκειν.
2 Each (for *k*) of us the neighbour should please unto the good for edification.
ἕκαστος ἡμῶν τῷ πλησίον ἀρεσκέτω εἰς τὸ ἀγαθὸν πρὸς οἰκοδομήν·
3 Even for Christ not Himself pleased but even as it has been written: The reproaches of those reproaching You (fell *N(k)O*) on Me myself.
καὶ γὰρ ὁ Χριστὸς οὐχ ἑαυτῷ ἤρεσεν· ἀλλὰ καθὼς γέγραπται· Οἱ ὀνειδισμοὶ τῶν ὀνειδιζόντων σε ἐπέπεσαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ.
4 As much as for was written in the past (all things *O*) for our own instruction (was written, *N(k)O*) so that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures hope we may have.
ὅσα γὰρ προεγράφη, ⸀εἰςτὴν ἡμετέραν διδασκαλίαν ⸀ἐγράφη ἵνα διὰ τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως τῶν γραφῶν τὴν ἐλπίδα ἔχωμεν.
5 The now God of endurance and encouragement would He give you the same to be of mind with one another according to Christ Jesus
ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως δῴη ὑμῖν τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖν ἐν ἀλλήλοις κατὰ ⸂Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν,
6 so that with one accord with one mouth you may glorify the God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
ἵνα ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν ἑνὶ στόματι δοξάζητε τὸν θεὸν καὶ πατέρα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
7 Therefore do receive one another even as also Christ received (you *N(K)O*) to [the] glory (*no*) of God.
Διὸ προσλαμβάνεσθε ἀλλήλους, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς προσελάβετο ⸀ὑμᾶς εἰς δόξαν ⸀τοῦθεοῦ.
8 I say (for *N(k)O*) Christ (Jesus *K*) a servant (to have become *NK(o)*) of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God in order to confirm the promises given to the fathers,
λέγω ⸀γὰρ⸀Χριστὸνδιάκονον ⸀γεγενῆσθαιπεριτομῆς ὑπὲρ ἀληθείας θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ βεβαιῶσαι τὰς ἐπαγγελίας τῶν πατέρων,
9 and [for] the Gentiles for mercy to glorify God even as it has been written: Because of this I will praise You among [the] Gentiles and to the name of You will I sing.
τὰ δὲ ἔθνη ὑπὲρ ἐλέους δοξάσαι τὸν θεόν· καθὼς γέγραπται· Διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι, καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ.
10 And again it says: do rejoice you Gentiles with the people of Him.
καὶ πάλιν λέγει· Εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
11 And again: do praise all you who [are] Gentiles the Lord, and (they should praise *N(K)O*) Him all the peoples.
καὶ πάλιν· Αἰνεῖτε, ⸂πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, τὸν κύριον⸃, καὶ ⸀ἐπαινεσάτωσαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ λαοί.
12 And again Isaiah says: There will be the root of Jesse, and the [One] arising to rule over Gentiles, in Him [the] Gentiles will hope.
καὶ πάλιν Ἠσαΐας λέγει· Ἔσται ἡ ῥίζα τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, καὶ ὁ ἀνιστάμενος ἄρχειν ἐθνῶν· ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν.
13 And the God of hope would fill you with all joy and peace in believing for to abound you in hope in [the] power [of the] Spirit Holy.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ἐλπίδος πληρώσαι ὑμᾶς πάσης χαρᾶς καὶ εἰρήνης ἐν τῷ πιστεύειν, εἰς τὸ περισσεύειν ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐλπίδι ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος ἁγίου.
14 I have been persuaded now, brothers of mine, also myself I myself concerning you that also you yourselves full are of goodness filled with all (*no*) knowledge, being able also (one another *NK(O)*) to admonish.
Πέπεισμαι δέ, ἀδελφοί μου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐγὼ περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι καὶ αὐτοὶ μεστοί ἐστε ἀγαθωσύνης, πεπληρωμένοι ⸀πάσηςγνώσεως, δυνάμενοι καὶ ⸀ἀλλήλουςνουθετεῖν.
15 More boldly however I have written to you (brothers *k*) in part as reminding you because of the grace which having been given to me (by *NK(o)*) God
⸀τολμηρότερονδὲ ἔγραψα ⸀ὑμῖνἀπὸ μέρους, ὡς ἐπαναμιμνῄσκων ὑμᾶς, διὰ τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι ⸀ὑπὸτοῦ θεοῦ
16 for to be me a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles administering the sacred service of the gospel of God, so that may become the offering of the Gentiles acceptable sanctified in [the] Spirit Holy.
εἰς τὸ εἶναί με λειτουργὸν ⸂Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, ἱερουργοῦντα τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα γένηται ἡ προσφορὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἡγιασμένη ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
17 I have therefore (the *no*) boasting in Christ Jesus the [things] pertaining to God;
ἔχω οὖν ⸀τὴνκαύχησιν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν·
18 Not for will I dare anything to speak of what except has accomplished Christ through me unto [the] obedience of [the] Gentiles by word and by deed,
οὐ γὰρ τολμήσω ⸂τι λαλεῖν ὧν οὐ κατειργάσατο Χριστὸς διʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς ὑπακοὴν ἐθνῶν, λόγῳ καὶ ἔργῳ,
19 in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit (of God, *NK(O)*) so as for me from Jerusalem and around unto Illyricum to have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
ἐν δυνάμει σημείων καὶ τεράτων, ἐν δυνάμει ⸀πνεύματος ὥστε με ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ κύκλῳ μέχρι τοῦ Ἰλλυρικοῦ πεπληρωκέναι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
20 thus now (being ambitious *NK(o)*) to evangelise not where was named Christ, so that not upon another’s foundation I may build
οὕτως δὲ ⸀φιλοτιμούμενονεὐαγγελίζεσθαι οὐχ ὅπου ὠνομάσθη Χριστός, ἵνα μὴ ἐπʼ ἀλλότριον θεμέλιον οἰκοδομῶ,
21 Rather even as it has been written: To whom not it was proclaimed concerning Him they will behold and those that not have heard will understand.
ἀλλὰ καθὼς γέγραπται· ⸂Οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ ὄψονται, καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασιν συνήσουσιν.
22 Therefore also I was being hindered many [times] to come to you,
Διὸ καὶ ἐνεκοπτόμην τὰ πολλὰ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς·
23 Now however no longer a place having in regions these a great desire now having had to come to you for (many *NK(O)*) years,
νυνὶ δὲ μηκέτι τόπον ἔχων ἐν τοῖς κλίμασι τούτοις, ἐπιποθίαν δὲ ἔχων τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ ⸀ἱκανῶνἐτῶν,
24 whenever (maybe *N(k)O*) I shall go to Spain (I will come to you *K*) I hope for going through to see you and by you to be equipped there, if of you first in part I shall be filled.
ὡς ⸀ἂνπορεύωμαι εἰς τὴν ⸀Σπανίαν ἐλπίζω γὰρ διαπορευόμενος θεάσασθαι ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑφʼ ὑμῶν προπεμφθῆναι ἐκεῖ ἐὰν ὑμῶν πρῶτον ἀπὸ μέρους ἐμπλησθῶ—
25 Now however I am going to Jerusalem ministering to the saints.
νυνὶ δὲ πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ διακονῶν τοῖς ἁγίοις.
26 Were pleased for Macedonia and Achaia a contribution certain to make for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem;
εὐδόκησαν γὰρ Μακεδονία καὶ Ἀχαΐα κοινωνίαν τινὰ ποιήσασθαι εἰς τοὺς πτωχοὺς τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.
27 They were pleased for, and debtors they are of them; If for in the [things] spiritual of them shared the Gentiles, they ought also in the material things to minister to them.
εὐδόκησαν γάρ, καὶ ὀφειλέται ⸂εἰσὶν αὐτῶν· εἰ γὰρ τοῖς πνευματικοῖς αὐτῶν ἐκοινώνησαν τὰ ἔθνη, ὀφείλουσιν καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαρκικοῖς λειτουργῆσαι αὐτοῖς.
28 This therefore having finished and having sealed to them fruit this I will set off through you into (*k*) Spain.
τοῦτο οὖν ἐπιτελέσας, καὶ σφραγισάμενος αὐτοῖς τὸν καρπὸν τοῦτον, ἀπελεύσομαι διʼ ὑμῶν ⸀εἰςΣπανίαν·
29 I know now that coming to you in [the] fullness of the blessing (of the gospel *K*) (*k*) of Christ I will come.
οἶδα δὲ ὅτι ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν πληρώματι ⸀εὐλογίαςΧριστοῦ ἐλεύσομαι.
30 I exhort now you, brothers, through the Lord of us Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,
Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ πνεύματος συναγωνίσασθαί μοι ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν θεόν,
31 so that I may be delivered from those refusing to be persuaded in Judea and (so that *K*) the service of mine which [is] in Jerusalem acceptable to the saints may become
ἵνα ῥυσθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπειθούντων ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ⸀καὶἡ διακονία μου ἡ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εὐπρόσδεκτος ⸂τοῖς ἁγίοις γένηται,
32 so that in joy (having come *N(k)O*) to you through [the] will of God (and *ko*) I may be refreshed with you.
ἵνα ἐν χαρᾷ ⸀ἐλθὼνπρὸς ὑμᾶς διὰ θελήματος ⸀θεοῦσυναναπαύσωμαι ὑμῖν.
33 And the God of peace [be] with all of you, Amen.
ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.
