1    τι ουν το περισσον του ιουδαιου η τις η ωφελεια της περιτομης

      Then what (is) the prerogative (excessive) (perisson) of the Jew, or what the benefit of the circumcision?

2    πολυ κατα παντα τροπον πρωτον μεν γαρ οτι επιστευθησαν τα λογια του θεου

      Much according to every manner! First indeed because they were entrusted with the oracles of God

3    τι γαρ ει ηπιστησαν τινες μη η απιστια αυτων την πιστιν του θεου καταργησει

      For what if some disbelieved? Their unbelief shall not nullify the faith of God. (second clause reads:

μη   η      απιστια            αυτων           την  ...

4:1        What then shall we say Abraham our father according to flesh to have found?

            τι ουν ερουμεν αβρααμ τον πατερα ημων ευρηκεναι κατα σαρκα

4:2        For if Abraham by works (deeds) was justified, he has boast – but not toward God.

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

4:3        for what says the Scripture, but ‘Abraham believed to (lit: trusted) God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

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

4:4        But ...

Chapter 5

1       δικαιωθεντες ουν εκ πιστεως ειρηνην εχομεν προς τον θεον δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

Being then justified from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2       δι ου και την προσαγωγην εσχηκαμεν τη πιστει εις την χαριν ταυτην εν η εστηκαμεν και καυχωμεθα επ ελπιδι της δοξης του θεου

through Whom also we have access to the faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice (boast) on the hope of the glory of God.

3       ου μονον δε αλλα και καυχωμεθα εν ταις θλιψεσιν ειδοτες οτι η θλιψις υπομονην κατεργαζεται...

1    What then shall we say (declare)? Shall we continue in sin, that grace should increase?

1    τι ουν ερουμεν επιμενουμεν τη αμαρτια ινα η χαρις πλεοναση

2    May it not be. We who died to sin, how shall we, still live in it?

2    μη γενοιτο οιτινες απεθανομεν τη αμαρτια πως ετι ζησομεν εν αυτη

3    Or are you ignorant that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, into His death we were baptized?

3    η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις χριστον ιησουν εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν

4    We were buried together to Him through the baptism into death, that eve as Christ was rais...

1       Or you are ignorant, brothers – for to those knowing law I am speaking – that the law is mastering of the person on (for) as much time as he lives.

1       η αγνοειτε αδελφοι γινωσκουσιν γαρ νομον λαλω οτι ο νομος κυριευει του ανθρωπου εφ οσον χρονον ζη

2       for the married (hupandros) woman to the living man is bound to law; yet if ever the man (husband) may die, she has been freed from the law of the man.

2       η γαρ υπανδρος γυνη τω ζωντι ανδρι δεδεται νομω εαν δε αποθανη ο ανηρ κατηργηται απο του νομου του ανδρος

3       Consequently then, of the living man (husband), s...

1             Consequently, now there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

1             ουδεν αρα νυν κατακριμα τοις εν χριστω ιησου μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα

2             For the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of the sin and of the death.

2             ο γαρ νομος του πνευματος της ζωης εν χριστω ιησου ηλευθερωσεν με απο του νομου της αμαρτιας και του θανατου

3             For the inability of the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sendin...

1    I say truth in Christ; I lie not; my conscience also bearing witness to me in Holy Spirit (lit: “in spirit holy”)

1     αληθειαν λεγω εν χριστω ου ψευδομαι συμμαρτυρουσης μοι της συνειδησεως μου εν πνευματι αγιω

2    That I have great grief and unceasing pain to (in) my heart.

2     οτι λυπη μοι εστιν μεγαλη και αδιαλειπτος οδυνη τη καρδια μου

3    For I was wishing (used to wish? imp.) I myself (anathema) *accursed or dedicated/dedication* to be from (possibly “by” or “for”) Christ over (for the sake of) my brothers, my relatives (family; kinfolk) according to flesh

3     ηυχομην γαρ αυτος εγω αναθεμα ειναι απο του χριστου...

1   Brethren, indeed the delight of my heart and the prayer to God over Israel is into salvation!

1  αδελφοι η μεν ευδοκια της εμης καρδιας και η δεησις η προς τον θεον υπερ του ισραηλ εστιν εις σωτηριαν

2  For I testify (witness) to them that they have zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

2  μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοις οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν

3  For being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, to the righteousness of God they were not subjected (hupetagesan).

3  αγνοουντες γαρ την του θεου δικαιοσυνην και την ιδιαν δικαιοσυνην ζητουντες στησαι τη δικαιοσυνη του θεου ουχ υπεταγη...

1      I say then, God did not thrust away His people. It may not be, for I also am an Israelite, out of Abraham’s seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.

        λεγω ουν μη απωσατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου μη γενοιτο και γαρ εγω ισραηλιτης ειμι εκ σπερματος αβρααμ φυλης βενιαμιν

2      God did not thrust away his people whom He foreknew (knew before), or have you not recognized in Elijah what the Scripture says, as he is pleading to God against Israel, saying

        ουκ απωσατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου ον προεγνω η ουκ οιδατε εν ηλια τι λεγει η γραφη ως εντυγχανει τω θεω κατα του ισραηλ λεγων...

Chapter 12

1      I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the mercies of God, to present your bodies (a) living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God: your reasonable (logiken) service.

        παρακαλω ουν υμας αδελφοι δια των οικτιρμων του θεου παραστησαι τα σωματα υμων θυσιαν ζωσαν αγιαν ευαρεστον τω θεω την λογικην λατρειαν υμων

2      And not be conformed to this world (eon), but you be transformed to the renewing of your mind, that you may test what (is) the will of God, the good and acceptable (well-pleasing) and perfect.

        και μη συσχηματιζεσθε τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα μεταμορφουσθε τη ανακαινωσει του νοος υμων εις το δοκιμαζειν υμα...
