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...

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...

1      Every soul, submit to higher (powers). For no authority (jurisdiction, power) is if not from God: but the jurisdictions (authorities/powers) (are) by the God established. (tetagmenai – having-been-set)

1    Yet we the able (dunatoi – with power) are obligated (opheilomen – owe; ought) to bear the impotence (adunaton – powerlessness; inability) of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

1       οφειλομεν δε ημεις οι δυνατοι τα ασθενηματα των αδυνατων βασταζειν και μη εαυτοις αρεσκειν

2    For each of us, let him be pleasing to the neighbour into the good toward edification (oikodomen  home-building; a building up).
