- 1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,Ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ οὐ ψεύδομαι συμμαρτυρούσης μοι τῆς συνειδήσεώς μου ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ
- 2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.ὅτι λύπη μοί ἐστιν μεγάλη καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μου
- 3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:ηὐχόμην γὰρ ⸂ἀνάθεμα εἶναι αὐτὸς ἐγὼ⸃ ἀπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου τῶν συγγενῶν μου κατὰ σάρκα
- 4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;οἵτινές εἰσιν Ἰσραηλῖται ὧν ἡ υἱοθεσία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ αἱ διαθῆκαι καὶ ἡ νομοθεσία καὶ ἡ λατρεία καὶ αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι
- 5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.ὧν οἱ πατέρες καὶ ἐξ ὧν ὁ χριστὸς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀμήν
- 6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:Οὐχ οἷον δὲ ὅτι ἐκπέπτωκεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ οὗτοι Ἰσραήλ
- 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.οὐδ’ ὅτι εἰσὶν σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ πάντες τέκνα ἀλλ’ Ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα
- 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.τοῦτ’ ἔστιν οὐ τὰ τέκνα τῆς σαρκὸς ταῦτα τέκνα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀλλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας λογίζεται εἰς σπέρμα
- 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.ἐπαγγελίας γὰρ ὁ λόγος οὗτος Κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἐλεύσομαι καὶ ἔσται τῇ υἱός
- 10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;οὐ μόνον δέ ἀλλὰ καὶ Ῥεβέκκα ἐξ ἑνὸς κοίτην ἔχουσα Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν
- 11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)μήπω γὰρ γεννηθέντων μηδὲ πραξάντων ἀγαθὸν ἢ ⸀φαῦλον ἵνα ἡ κατ’ ἐκλογὴν πρόθεσις τοῦ θεοῦ μένῃ
- 12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων ἀλλ’ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος ἐρρέθη αὐτῇ ὅτι Ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι
- 13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.⸀καθὼς γέγραπται Τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἠγάπησα τὸν δὲ Ἠσαῦ ἐμίσησα
- 14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν μὴ ἀδικία παρὰ τῷ θεῷ μὴ γένοιτο
- 15For 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.τῷ γὰρ⸃ λέγει ὃν ἂν καὶ ὃν ἂν
- 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.ἄρα οὖν οὐ τοῦ θέλοντος οὐδὲ τοῦ τρέχοντος ἀλλὰ τοῦ θεοῦ
- 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφὴ τῷ Φαραὼ ὅτι Εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἐξήγειρά σε ὅπως ἐνδείξωμαι ἐν σοὶ τὴν δύναμίν μου καὶ ὅπως διαγγελῇ τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ
- 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.ἄρα οὖν ὃν θέλει ὃν δὲ θέλει σκληρύνει
- 19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?Ἐρεῖς ⸂μοι οὖν⸃ Τί ⸀οὖν ἔτι μέμφεται τῷ γὰρ βουλήματι αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνθέστηκεν
- 20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?⸂ὦ ἄνθρωπε μενοῦνγε⸃ σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ θεῷ μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι Τί με ἐποίησας
- 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?ἢ οὐκ ἔχει ἐξουσίαν ὁ κεραμεὺς τοῦ πηλοῦ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ φυράματος ποιῆσαι ὃ μὲν εἰς τιμὴν σκεῦος ὃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν
- 22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:εἰ δὲ θέλων ὁ θεὸς ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ γνωρίσαι τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ ἤνεγκεν ἐν πολλῇ μακροθυμίᾳ σκεύη ὀργῆς κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν
- 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,⸀καὶ ἵνα γνωρίσῃ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ σκεύη ἐλέους ἃ προητοίμασεν εἰς δόξαν
- 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?οὓς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς οὐ μόνον ἐξ Ἰουδαίων ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐξ ἐθνῶν—
- 25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ Ὡσηὲ λέγει Καλέσω τὸν οὐ λαόν μου λαόν μου καὶ τὴν οὐκ ἠγαπημένην ἠγαπημένην
- 26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ ἐρρέθη ⸀αὐτοῖς Οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ θεοῦ ζῶντος
- 27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:δὲ κράζει ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ Ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης τὸ
- 28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ ⸀συντέμνων ποιήσει κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς
- 29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.καὶ καθὼς προείρηκεν Εἰ μὴ κύριος ἐγκατέλιπεν ἡμῖν σπέρμα ὡς Σόδομα ἂν ἐγενήθημεν καὶ ὡς ἂν ὡμοιώθημεν
- 30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν ὅτι ἔθνη τὰ μὴ διώκοντα δικαιοσύνην κατέλαβεν δικαιοσύνην δικαιοσύνην δὲ τὴν ἐκ πίστεως
- 31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.Ἰσραὴλ δὲ διώκων νόμον δικαιοσύνης εἰς ⸀νόμον οὐκ ἔφθασεν
- 32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;διὰ τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως ἀλλ’ ὡς ἐξ ⸀ἔργων ⸀προσέκοψαν τῷ λίθῳ τοῦ προσκόμματος
- 33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.καθὼς γέγραπται Ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον προσκόμματος καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου ⸀καὶ ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται
