Romans 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.	1 Τι λοιπον θελομεν ειπει οτι απηλαυσεν Αβρααμ ο πατηρ ημων κατα σαρκα;
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.	2 Διοτι εαν ο Αβρααμ εδικαιωθη εκ των εργων, εχει καυχημα, αλλ' ουχι ενωπιον του Θεου.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.	3 Επειδη τι λεγει η γραφη; Και επιστευσεν Αβρααμ εις τον Θεον, και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.
4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.	4 Εις δε τον εργαζομενον ο μισθος δεν λογιζεται ως χαρις, αλλ' ως χρεος?
5 But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.	5 εις τον μη εργαζομενον ομως, πιστευοντα δε εις τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη, η πιστις αυτου λογιζεται εις δικαιοσυνην,
6 As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:	6 καθως και ο Δαβιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου, εις τον οποιον ο Θεος λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην, χωρις εργων?
7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.	7 Μακαριοι εκεινοι, των οποιων συνεχωρηθησαν αι ανομιαι και των οποιων εσκεπασθησαν αι αμαρτιαι?
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.	8 μακαριος ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον ο Κυριος δεν θελει λογιζεσθαι αμαρτιαν.
9 This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.	9 Ουτος λοιπον ο μακαρισμος γινεται δια τους περιτετμημενους η και δια τους απεριτμητους; διοτι λεγομεν οτι η πιστις ελογισθη εις τον Αβρααμ εις δικαιοσυνην.
10 How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.	10 Πως λοιπον ελογισθη; οτε ητο εν περιτομη η εν ακροβυστια; Ουχι εν περιτομη αλλ' εν ακροβυστια?
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:	11 και ελαβε το σημειον της περιτομης, σφραγιδα της δικαιοσυνης της εκ πιστεως της εν τη ακροβυστια, δια να ηναι αυτος πατηρ παντων των πιστευοντων ενω υπαρχουσιν εν τη ακροβυστια, δια να λογισθη και εις αυτους η δικαιοσυνη,
12 And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.	12 και πατηρ της περιτομης, ουχι μονον εις τους περιτετμημενους, αλλα και εις τους περιπατουντας εις τα ιχνη της πιστεως του πατρος ημων Αβρααμ της εν τη ακροβυστια.
13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.	13 Επειδη η επαγγελια προς τον Αβρααμ η προς το σπερμα αυτου, οτι εμελλε να ηναι κληρονομος του κοσμου, δεν εγεινε δια του νομου, αλλα δια της δικαιοσυνης της εκ πιστεως.
14 For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.	14 Διοτι εαν ηναι κληρονομοι οι εκ του νομου, η πιστις εματαιωθη και κατηργηθη η επαγγελια?
15 For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.	15 επειδη ο νομος επιφερει οργην? διοτι οπου δεν υπαρχει νομος, ουδε παραβασις υπαρχει.
16 Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,	16 Δια τουτο εκ πιστεως η κληρονομια, δια να ηναι κατα χαριν, ωστε η επαγγελια να ηναι βεβαια εις απαν το σπερμα, ουχι μονον το εκ του νομου, αλλα και το εκ της πιστεως του Αβρααμ, οστις ειναι πατηρ παντων ημων,
17 (As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.	17 καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον, οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων σε κατεστησα, ενωπιον του Θεου εις τον οποιον επιστευσε, του ζωοποιουντος τους νεκρους και καλουντος τα μη οντα ως οντα?
18 Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.	18 οστις καιτοι μη εχων ελπιδα επιστευσεν επ' ελπιδι, οτι εμελλε να γεινη πατηρ πολλων εθνων κατα το λαληθεν? Ουτω θελει εισθαι το σπερμα σου?
19 And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.	19 και μη ασθενησας κατα την πιστιν δεν εσυλλογισθη το σωμα αυτου οτι ητο ηδη νενεκρωμενον, εκατονταετης περιπου ων, και την νεκρωσιν της μητρας της Σαρρας?
20 In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:	20 ουδε εδιστασεν εις την επαγγελιαν του Θεου δια της απιστιας, αλλ' ενεδυναμωθη εις την πιστιν, δοξασας τον Θεον,
21 Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.	21 και πεποιθως οτι εκεινο, το οποιον υπεσχεθη, ειναι δυνατος και να εκτελεση.
22 And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.	22 Δια τουτο και ελογισθη εις αυτον εις δικαιοσυνην.
23 Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,	23 Δεν εγραφη δε δι' αυτον μονον, οτι ελογισθη εις αυτον,
24 But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,	24 αλλα και δι' ημας, εις τους οποιους μελλει να λογισθη, τους πιστευοντας εις τον αναστησαντα εκ νεκρων Ιησουν τον Κυριον ημων,
25 Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.	25 οστις παρεδοθη δια τας αμαρτιας ημων και ανεστη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων.
