VMV
Τι λοιπόν θέλομεν ειπεί ότι απήλαυσεν Αβραάμ ο πατήρ ημών κατά σάρκα;
BSB
BSB:
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has discovered?
2
VMV
Διότι εάν ο Αβραάμ εδικαιώθη εκ των έργων, έχει καύχημα, αλλ' ουχί ενώπιον του Θεού.
BSB
BSB:
If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
3
VMV
Επειδή τι λέγει η γραφή; Και επίστευσεν Αβραάμ εις τον Θεόν, και ελογίσθη εις αυτόν εις δικαιοσύνην.
BSB
BSB:
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4
VMV
Εις δε τον εργαζόμενον ο μισθός δεν λογίζεται ως χάρις, αλλ' ως χρέος·
BSB
BSB:
Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
5
VMV
εις τον μη εργαζόμενον όμως, πιστεύοντα δε εις τον δικαιούντα τον ασεβή, η πίστις αυτού λογίζεται εις δικαιοσύνην,
BSB
BSB:
However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6
VMV
καθώς και ο Δαβίδ λέγει τον μακαρισμόν του ανθρώπου, εις τον οποίον ο Θεός λογίζεται δικαιοσύνην, χωρίς έργων·
BSB
BSB:
And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7
VMV
Μακάριοι εκείνοι, των οποίων συνεχωρήθησαν αι ανομίαι και των οποίων εσκεπάσθησαν αι αμαρτίαι·
BSB
BSB:
“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8
VMV
μακάριος ο άνθρωπος, εις τον οποίον ο Κύριος δεν θέλει λογίζεσθαι αμαρτίαν.
BSB
BSB:
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
9
VMV
Ούτος λοιπόν ο μακαρισμός γίνεται διά τους περιτετμημένους ή και διά τους απεριτμήτους; διότι λέγομεν ότι η πίστις ελογίσθη εις τον Αβραάμ εις δικαιοσύνην.
BSB
BSB:
Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
10
VMV
Πως λοιπόν ελογίσθη; ότε ήτο εν περιτομή ή εν ακροβυστία; Ουχί εν περιτομή αλλ' εν ακροβυστία·
BSB
BSB:
In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
11
VMV
και έλαβε το σημείον της περιτομής, σφραγίδα της δικαιοσύνης της εκ πίστεως της εν τη ακροβυστία, διά να ήναι αυτός πατήρ πάντων των πιστευόντων ενώ υπάρχουσιν εν τη ακροβυστία, διά να λογισθή και εις αυτούς η δικαιοσύνη,
BSB
BSB:
And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
12
VMV
και πατήρ της περιτομής, ουχί μόνον εις τους περιτετμημένους, αλλά και εις τους περιπατούντας εις τα ίχνη της πίστεως του πατρός ημών Αβραάμ της εν τη ακροβυστία.
BSB
BSB:
And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13
VMV
Επειδή η επαγγελία προς τον Αβραάμ ή προς το σπέρμα αυτού, ότι έμελλε να ήναι κληρονόμος του κόσμου, δεν έγεινε διά του νόμου, αλλά διά της δικαιοσύνης της εκ πίστεως.
BSB
BSB:
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
14
VMV
Διότι εάν ήναι κληρονόμοι οι εκ του νόμου, η πίστις εματαιώθη και κατηργήθη η επαγγελία·
BSB
BSB:
For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
15
VMV
επειδή ο νόμος επιφέρει οργήν· διότι όπου δεν υπάρχει νόμος, ουδέ παράβασις υπάρχει.
BSB
BSB:
because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
16
VMV
Διά τούτο εκ πίστεως η κληρονομία, διά να ήναι κατά χάριν, ώστε η επαγγελία να ήναι βεβαία εις άπαν το σπέρμα, ουχί μόνον το εκ του νόμου, αλλά και το εκ της πίστεως του Αβραάμ, όστις είναι πατήρ πάντων ημών,
BSB
BSB:
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
17
VMV
καθώς είναι γεγραμμένον, ότι πατέρα πολλών εθνών σε κατέστησα, ενώπιον του Θεού εις τον οποίον επίστευσε, του ζωοποιούντος τους νεκρούς και καλούντος τα μη όντα ως όντα·
BSB
BSB:
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
18
VMV
όστις καίτοι μη έχων ελπίδα επίστευσεν επ' ελπίδι, ότι έμελλε να γείνη πατήρ πολλών εθνών κατά το λαληθέν· Ούτω θέλει είσθαι το σπέρμα σου·
BSB
BSB:
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
19
VMV
και μη ασθενήσας κατά την πίστιν δεν εσυλλογίσθη το σώμα αυτού ότι ήτο ήδη νενεκρωμένον, εκατονταετής περίπου ων, και την νέκρωσιν της μήτρας της Σάρρας·
BSB
BSB:
Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
20
VMV
ουδέ εδίστασεν εις την επαγγελίαν του Θεού διά της απιστίας, αλλ' ενεδυναμώθη εις την πίστιν, δοξάσας τον Θεόν,
BSB
BSB:
Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21
VMV
και πεποιθώς ότι εκείνο, το οποίον υπεσχέθη, είναι δυνατός και να εκτελέση.
BSB
BSB:
being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.
22
VMV
Διά τούτο και ελογίσθη εις αυτόν εις δικαιοσύνην.
BSB
BSB:
This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
23
VMV
Δεν εγράφη δε δι' αυτόν μόνον, ότι ελογίσθη εις αυτόν,
BSB
BSB:
Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,
24
VMV
αλλά και δι' ημάς, εις τους οποίους μέλλει να λογισθή, τους πιστεύοντας εις τον αναστήσαντα εκ νεκρών Ιησούν τον Κύριον ημών,
BSB
BSB:
but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
25
VMV
όστις παρεδόθη διά τας αμαρτίας ημών και ανέστη διά την δικαίωσιν ημών.
BSB
BSB:
He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
