Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lye 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 grief and continual sorrow in my heart:
οτι λυπη μοι εστιν μεγαλη και αδιαλειπτος οδυνη τη καρδια μου
3 for I could wish that I myself were made a curse after the manner of Christ, for my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh;
ηυχομην γαρ αυτος εγω αναθεμα ειναι απο του χριστου υπερ των αδελφων μου των συγγενων μου κατα σαρκα
4 who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the form of divine worship, 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, as to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all 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 that the word of God hath failed. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel.
ουχ οιον δε οτι εκπεπτωκεν ο λογος του θεου ου γαρ παντες οι εξ ισραηλ ουτοι ισραηλ
7 Nor because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children of promise: but "in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
ουδ οτι εισιν σπερμα αβρααμ παντες τεκνα αλλ εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
8 That is, not the children of the flesh are the children of God, but the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.
τουτεστιν ου τα τεκνα της σαρκος ταυτα τεκνα του θεου αλλα τα τεκνα της επαγγελιας λογιζεται εις σπερμα
9 For this is the word of the promise, "According to this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son:"
επαγγελιας γαρ ο λογος ουτος κατα τον καιρον τουτον ελευσομαι και εσται τη σαρρα υιος
10 and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac,
ου μονον δε αλλα και ρεβεκκα εξ ενος κοιτην εχουσα ισαακ του πατρος ημων
11 (when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth, ) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger:
μηπω γαρ γεννηθεντων μηδε πραξαντων τι αγαθον η κακον ινα η κατ εκλογην του θεου προθεσις μενη ουκ εξ εργων αλλ εκ του καλουντος
12 as it is written,
ερρηθη αυτη οτι ο μειζων δουλευσει τω ελασσονι
13 "I loved Jacob and I hated Esau."
καθως γεγραπται τον ιακωβ ηγαπησα τον δε ησαυ εμισησα
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice in God?
τι ουν ερουμεν μη αδικια παρα τω θεω μη γενοιτο
15 God forbid! For He saith to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
τω γαρ μωση λεγει ελεησω ον αν ελεω και οικτειρησω ον αν οικτειρω
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 ελεουντος θεου
17 And the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, for this very purpose have I raised thee up, that I may shew forth my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through 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 So then He hath mercy on whom He pleaseth, and whom He will, He hardeneth.
αρα ουν ον θελει ελεει ον δε θελει σκληρυνει
19 Thou wilt say then, Why doth he yet blame us? who hath resisted his will?
ερεις ουν μοι τι ετι μεμφεται τω γαρ βουληματι αυτου τις ανθεστηκεν
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou, that disputest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
μενουνγε ω ανθρωπε συ τις ει ο ανταποκρινομενος τω θεω μη ερει το πλασμα τω πλασαντι τι με εποιησας ουτως
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, out of the same mass to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor?
η ουκ εχει εξουσιαν ο κεραμευς του πηλου εκ του αυτου φυραματος ποιησαι ο μεν εις τιμην σκευος ο δε εις ατιμιαν
22 And what if God, though resolved to shew his displeasure at last, and to make known his power, yet bore with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?
ει δε θελων ο θεος ενδειξασθαι την οργην και γνωρισαι το δυνατον αυτου ηνεγκεν εν πολλη μακροθυμια σκευη οργης κατηρτισμενα εις απωλειαν
23 and that He might make known the riches of his glory in the vessels of mercy, which He hath prepared for glory?
και ινα γνωριση τον πλουτον της δοξης αυτου επι σκευη ελεους α προητοιμασεν εις δοξαν
24 whom He hath also called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.
ους και εκαλεσεν ημας ου μονον εξ ιουδαιων αλλα και εξ εθνων
25 As He saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.
ως και εν τω ωσηε λεγει καλεσω τον ου λαον μου λαον μου και την ουκ ηγαπημενην ηγαπημενην
26 And in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God.
και εσται εν τω τοπω ου ερρηθη αυτοις ου λαος μου υμεις εκει κληθησονται υιοι θεου ζωντος
27 And Esaias crieth out concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.
ησαιας δε κραζει υπερ του ισραηλ εαν η ο αριθμος των υιων ισραηλ ως η αμμος της θαλασσης το καταλειμμα σωθησεται
28 For in finishing the account and cutting it short in righteousness, the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.
λογον γαρ συντελων και συντεμνων εν δικαιοσυνη οτι λογον συντετμημενον ποιησει κυριος επι της γης
29 And as Esaias said before, "Except the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and we had been made like unto Gomorrah."
και καθως προειρηκεν ησαιας ει μη κυριος σαβαωθ εγκατελιπεν ημιν σπερμα ως σοδομα αν εγενηθημεν και ως γομορρα αν ωμοιωθημεν
30 What shall we say then? that the Gentiles, who sought not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;
τι ουν ερουμεν οτι εθνη τα μη διωκοντα δικαιοσυνην κατελαβεν δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσυνην δε την εκ πιστεως
31 but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness: why?
ισραηλ δε διωκων νομον δικαιοσυνης εις νομον δικαιοσυνης ουκ εφθασεν
32 because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law, for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;
διατι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως αλλ ως εξ εργων νομου προσεκοψαν γαρ τω λιθω του προσκομματος
33 as it is written, "Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:" and again, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
καθως γεγραπται ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον προσκομματος και πετραν σκανδαλου και πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
