Romans 4

1What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

τι ουν ερουμεν αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων ευρηκεναι κατα σαρκα;

2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

ει γαρ αβρααμ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη, εχει καυχημα, αλλ ου προς τον θεον.

3For what does the Scripture say? 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.'

τι γαρ η γραφη λεγει; επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω, και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην.

4Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

τω δε εργαζομενω ο μισθος ου λογιζεται κατα χαριν, αλλα κατα οφειλημα·

5But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

τω δε μη εργαζομενω, πιστευοντι δε επι τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη λογιζεται η πιστις αυτου εις δικαιοσυνην,

6just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

καθαπερ και δαυιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου ω ο θεος λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην χωρις εργων·

7'Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;

μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι·

8Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.'

μακαριος ανηρ ω ου μη λογισηται κυριος αμαρτιαν.

9Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

ο μακαρισμος ουν ουτος επι την περιτομην η και επι την ακροβυστιαν; λεγομεν γαρ οτι ελογισθη τω αβρααμ η πιστις εις δικαιοσυνην.

10How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

πως ουν ελογισθη; εν περιτομη οντι η εν ακροβυστια; ουκ εν περιτομη, αλλ εν ακροβυστια·

11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed 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,

12and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

και πατερα περιτομης τοις ουκ εκ περιτομης μονον, αλλα και τοις στοιχουσιν τοις ιχνεσιν της εν [τη] ακροβυστια πιστεως του πατρος ημων αβρααμ.

13For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the 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.

14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

ει γαρ οι εκ νομου κληρονομοι, κεκενωται η πιστις και κατηργηται η επαγγελια·

15because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

ο γαρ νομος οργην κατεργαζεται· ου γαρ ουκ εστιν νομος, ουδε παραβασις.

16Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the 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(as it is written, 'I have made you a father of many nations') in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

καθως γεγραπται οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων τεθεικα σε, κατεναντι ου επιστευσεν θεου του ζωοποιουντος τους νεκρους και καλουντος τα μη οντα ως οντα·

18who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, 'So shall your descendants be.'

ος παρ ελπιδα επ ελπιδι επιστευσεν, εις το γενεσθαι αυτον πατερα πολλων εθνων κατα το ειρημενον· ουτως εσται το σπερμα σου·

19And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

και μη ασθενησας τη πιστει ου κατενοησεν το εαυτου σωμα ηδη νενεκρωμενον, εκατονταετης που υπαρχων, και την νεκρωσιν μητρας σαρρας·

20He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

εις δε την επαγγελιαν του θεου ου διεκριθη τη απιστια, αλλ ενεδυναμωθη τη πιστει, δους δοξαν τω θεω

21and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

και πληροφορηθεις οτι ο επηγγελται δυνατος εστιν και ποιησαι.

22And therefore 'it was accounted to him for righteousness.'

διο και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην.

23Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

ουκ εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον οτι ελογισθη αυτω,

24but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

αλλα και δι ημας οις μελλει λογιζεσθαι, τοις πιστευουσιν επι τον εγειραντα ιησουν τον κυριον ημων εκ νεκρων,

25who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

ος παρεδοθη δια τα παραπτωματα ημων και ηγερθη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων.
