GNT

1 τί οὗν ἐροῦμεν εὑρηκέναι ἀβραὰμ τὸν προπάτορα ἡμῶν κατὰ σάρκα;

2 εἰ γὰρ ἀβραὰμ ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, ἔχει καύχημα· ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πρὸς θεόν.

3 τί γὰρ ἡ γραφὴ λέγει; ἐπίστευσεν δὲ ἀβραὰμ τῶ θεῶ, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῶ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.

4 τῶ δὲ ἐργαζομένῳ ὁ μισθὸς οὐ λογίζεται κατὰ χάριν ἀλλὰ κατὰ ὀφείλημα·

5 τῶ δὲ μὴ ἐργαζομένῳ, πιστεύοντι δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἀσεβῆ, λογίζεται ἡ πίστις αὐτοῦ εἰς δικαιοσύνην,

6 καθάπερ καὶ δαυὶδ λέγει τὸν μακαρισμὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ᾧ ὁ θεὸς λογίζεται δικαιοσύνην χωρὶς ἔργων,

7 μακάριοι ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι·

8 μακάριος ἀνὴρ οὖ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται κύριος ἁμαρτίαν.

9 ὁ μακαρισμὸς οὗν οὖτος ἐπὶ τὴν περιτομὴν ἢ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἀκροβυστίαν; λέγομεν γάρ, ἐλογίσθη τῶ ἀβραὰμ ἡ πίστις εἰς δικαιοσύνην.

10 πῶς οὗν ἐλογίσθη; ἐν περιτομῇ ὄντι ἢ ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ; οὐκ ἐν περιτομῇ ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ·

11 καὶ σημεῖον ἔλαβεν περιτομῆς, σφραγῖδα τῆς δικαιοσύνης τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἐν τῇ ἀκροβυστίᾳ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πατέρα πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων δι᾽ ἀκροβυστίας, εἰς τὸ λογισθῆναι [καὶ] αὐτοῖς [τὴν] δικαιοσύνην,

12 καὶ πατέρα περιτομῆς τοῖς οὐκ ἐκ περιτομῆς μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς στοιχοῦσιν τοῖς ἴχνεσιν τῆς ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ πίστεως τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ἀβραάμ.

13 οὐ γὰρ διὰ νόμου ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῶ ἀβραὰμ ἢ τῶ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, τὸ κληρονόμον αὐτὸν εἶναι κόσμου, ἀλλὰ διὰ δικαιοσύνης πίστεως·

14 εἰ γὰρ οἱ ἐκ νόμου κληρονόμοι, κεκένωται ἡ πίστις καὶ κατήργηται ἡ ἐπαγγελία·

15 ὁ γὰρ νόμος ὀργὴν κατεργάζεται· οὖ δὲ οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος, οὐδὲ παράβασις.

16 διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ πίστεως, ἵνα κατὰ χάριν, εἰς τὸ εἶναι βεβαίαν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν παντὶ τῶ σπέρματι, οὐ τῶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶ ἐκ πίστεως ἀβραάμ ὅς ἐστιν πατὴρ πάντων ἡμῶν,

17 καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε κατέναντι οὖ ἐπίστευσεν θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳοποιοῦντος τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ καλοῦντος τὰ μὴ ὄντα ὡς ὄντα·

18 ὃς παρ᾽ ἐλπίδα ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ἐπίστευσεν εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον, οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου·

19 καὶ μὴ ἀσθενήσας τῇ πίστει κατενόησεν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σῶμα [ἤδη] νενεκρωμένον, ἑκατονταετής που ὑπάρχων, καὶ τὴν νέκρωσιν τῆς μήτρας σάρρας,

20 εἰς δὲ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ διεκρίθη τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ ἀλλ᾽ ἐνεδυναμώθη τῇ πίστει, δοὺς δόξαν τῶ θεῶ

21 καὶ πληροφορηθεὶς ὅτι ὃ ἐπήγγελται δυνατός ἐστιν καὶ ποιῆσαι.

22 διὸ [καὶ] ἐλογίσθη αὐτῶ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.

23 οὐκ ἐγράφη δὲ δι᾽ αὐτὸν μόνον ὅτι ἐλογίσθη αὐτῶ,

24 ἀλλὰ καὶ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς οἷς μέλλει λογίζεσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν ἐγείραντα ἰησοῦν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν ἐκ νεκρῶν,

25 ὃς παρεδόθη διὰ τὰ παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καὶ ἠγέρθη διὰ τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν.

1  What⁵¹⁰¹ shall we say²⁰⁴⁶ then³⁷⁶⁷ that Abraham¹¹ our²²⁵⁷ father,³⁹⁶² as pertaining²⁵⁹⁶ to the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ hath found?²¹⁴⁷

2  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ Abraham¹¹ were justified¹³⁴⁴ by¹⁵³⁷ works,²⁰⁴¹ he hath²¹⁹² whereof to glory;²⁷⁴⁵ but²³⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ before⁴³¹⁴ God.²³¹⁶

3  For¹⁰⁶³ what⁵¹⁰¹ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Scripture?^{1124 1161} Abraham¹¹ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² it was counted³⁰⁴⁹ unto him⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ righteousness.¹³⁴³

4  Now¹¹⁶¹ to him that worketh²⁰³⁸ is the³⁵⁸⁸ reward³⁴⁰⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ reckoned³⁰⁴⁹ of²⁵⁹⁶ grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ but²³⁵ of²⁵⁹⁶ debt.³⁷⁸³

5  But¹¹⁶¹ to him that worketh²⁰³⁸ not,³³⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ believeth⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him that justifieth¹³⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ ungodly,⁷⁶⁵ his⁸⁴⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² is counted³⁰⁴⁹ for¹⁵¹⁹ righteousness.¹³⁴³

6  Even as²⁵⁰⁹ David¹¹³⁸ also²⁵³² describeth³⁰⁰⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ blessedness³¹⁰⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ man,⁴⁴⁴ unto whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ imputeth³⁰⁴⁹ righteousness¹³⁴³ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ works,²⁰⁴¹

7  Saying, Blessed³¹⁰⁷ are they whose³⁷³⁹ iniquities⁴⁵⁸ are forgiven,⁸⁶³ and²⁵³² whose³⁷³⁹ sins²⁶⁶ are covered.¹⁹⁴³

8  Blessed³¹⁰⁷ is the man⁴³⁵ to whom³⁷³⁹ the Lord²⁹⁶² will not³³⁶⁴ impute³⁰⁴⁹ sin.²⁶⁶

9  Cometh this³⁷⁷⁸ blessedness³¹⁰⁸ then³⁷⁶⁷ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ only, or²²²⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ uncircumcision²⁰³ also?²⁵³² for¹⁰⁶³ we say³⁰⁰⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ faith⁴¹⁰² was reckoned³⁰⁴⁹ to Abraham¹¹ for¹⁵¹⁹ righteousness.¹³⁴³

10  How⁴⁴⁵⁹ was it then³⁷⁶⁷ reckoned?³⁰⁴⁹ when he was⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² circumcision,⁴⁰⁶¹ or²²²⁸ in¹⁷²² uncircumcision?²⁰³ Not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² circumcision,⁴⁰⁶¹ but²³⁵ in¹⁷²² uncircumcision.²⁰³

11  And²⁵³² he received²⁹⁸³ the sign⁴⁵⁹² of circumcision,⁴⁰⁶¹ a seal⁴⁹⁷³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ righteousness¹³⁴³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² which³⁵⁸⁸ he had yet being uncircumcised: that^{1722 203} he⁸⁴⁶ might be¹⁵¹¹ the father³⁹⁶² of all³⁹⁵⁶ them that believe,⁴¹⁰⁰ though they be not circumcised;^{1223 203} that righteousness¹³⁴³ might be imputed³⁰⁴⁹ unto them⁸⁴⁶ also:²⁵³²

12  And²⁵³² the father³⁹⁶² of circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ to them³⁵⁸⁸ who are not³⁷⁵⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ the circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ only,³⁴⁴⁰ but²³⁵ who also walk^{4748 2532} in the³⁵⁸⁸ steps²⁴⁸⁷ of that faith⁴¹⁰² of our²²⁵⁷ father³⁹⁶² Abraham,¹¹ which he had being yet uncircumcised.^{1722 203}

13  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise,¹⁸⁶⁰ that he⁸⁴⁶ should be¹⁵¹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ heir²⁸¹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ world,²⁸⁸⁹ was not³⁷⁵⁶ to Abraham,¹¹ or²²²⁸ to his⁸⁴⁸ seed,⁴⁶⁹⁰ through¹²²³ the law,³⁵⁵¹ but²³⁵ through¹²²³ the righteousness¹³⁴³ of faith.⁴¹⁰²

14  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ they³⁵⁸⁸ which are of¹⁵³⁷ the law³⁵⁵¹ be heirs,²⁸¹⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² is made void,²⁷⁵⁸ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ made of none effect:²⁶⁷³

15  Because¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ worketh²⁷¹⁶ wrath:³⁷⁰⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ where³⁷⁵⁷ no³⁷⁵⁶ law³⁵⁵¹ is,²⁰⁷⁶ there is no³⁷⁶¹ transgression.³⁸⁴⁷

16  Therefore^{1223 5124} it is of¹⁵³⁷ faith,⁴¹⁰² that²⁴⁴³ it might be by²⁵⁹⁶ grace;⁵⁴⁸⁵ to the end the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ might be¹⁵¹¹ sure⁹⁴⁹ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ seed;⁴⁶⁹⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ to that³⁵⁸⁸ only³⁴⁴⁰ which is of¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ law,³⁵⁵¹ but²³⁵ to that³⁵⁸⁸ also²⁵³² which is of¹⁵³⁷ the faith⁴¹⁰² of Abraham;¹¹ who³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ the father³⁹⁶² of us²²⁵⁷ all,³⁹⁵⁶

17  (As²⁵³¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ I have made⁵⁰⁸⁷ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ a father³⁹⁶² of many⁴¹⁸³ nations,)¹⁴⁸⁴ before²⁷¹³ him whom³⁷³⁹ he believed,⁴¹⁰⁰ even God,²³¹⁶ who quickeneth²²²⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ dead,³⁴⁹⁸ and²⁵³² calleth²⁵⁶⁴ those things which be⁵⁶⁰⁷ not³³⁶¹ as though⁵⁶¹³ they were.⁵⁶⁰⁷

18  Who³⁷³⁹ against³⁸⁴⁴ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ hope,¹⁶⁸⁰ that he⁸⁴⁶ might become¹⁰⁹⁶ the father³⁹⁶² of many⁴¹⁸³ nations,¹⁴⁸⁴ according²⁵⁹⁶ to that which was spoken,²⁰⁴⁶ So³⁷⁷⁹ shall thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ be.²⁰⁷¹

19  And²⁵³² being not weak^{770 3361} in faith,⁴¹⁰² he considered²⁶⁵⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ his own¹⁴³⁸ body⁴⁹⁸³ now²²³⁵ dead,³⁴⁹⁹ when he was⁵²²⁵ about⁴²²⁵ a hundred years old,¹⁵⁴¹ neither²⁵³² yet the³⁵⁸⁸ deadness³⁵⁰⁰ of Sarah's⁴⁵⁶⁴ womb:³³⁸⁸

20  He¹¹⁶¹ staggered¹²⁵² not³⁷⁵⁶ at¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of God²³¹⁶ through unbelief;⁵⁷⁰ but²³⁵ was strong¹⁷⁴³ in faith,⁴¹⁰² giving¹³²⁵ glory¹³⁹¹ to God;²³¹⁶

21  And²⁵³² being fully persuaded⁴¹³⁵ that,³⁷⁵⁴ what³⁷³⁹ he had promised,¹⁸⁶¹ he was²⁰⁷⁶ able¹⁴¹⁵ also²⁵³² to perform.⁴¹⁶⁰

22  And²⁵³² therefore¹³⁵² it was imputed³⁰⁴⁹ to him⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ righteousness.¹³⁴³

23  Now¹¹⁶¹ it was not³⁷⁵⁶ written¹¹²⁵ for his sake^{1223 846} alone,³⁴⁴⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ it was imputed³⁰⁴⁹ to him;⁸⁴⁶

24  But²³⁵ for¹²²³ us²²⁴⁸ also,²⁵³² to whom³⁷³⁹ it shall³¹⁹⁵ be imputed,³⁰⁴⁹ if we³⁵⁸⁸ believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him that raised up¹⁴⁵³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² from¹⁵³⁷ the dead;³⁴⁹⁸

25  Who³⁷³⁹ was delivered³⁸⁶⁰ for¹²²³ our²²⁵⁷ offenses,³⁹⁰⁰ and²⁵³² was raised again¹⁴⁵³ for¹²²³ our²²⁵⁷ justification.¹³⁴⁷

Vul

1 Quid ergo dicemus invenisse Abraham patrem nostrum secundum carnem?

2 Si enim Abraham ex operibus justificatus est, habet gloriam, sed non apud Deum.

3 Quid enim dicit Scriptura? Credidit Abraham Deo, et reputatam est illi ad justitiam.

4 Ei autem qui operatur, merces non imputatur secundum gratiam, sed secundum debitum.

5 Ei vero qui non operatur, credenti autem in eum, qui justificat impium, reputatur fides ejus ad justitiam secundum propositum gratiæ Dei.

6 Sicut et David dicit beatitudinem hominis, cui Deus accepto fert justitiam sine operibus:

7 [Beati, quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates,
et quorum tecta sunt peccata.

8 Beatus vir, cui non imputavit Dominus peccatum.]

9 Beatitudo ergo hæc in circumcisione tantum manet, an etiam in præputio? Dicimus enim quia reputata est Abrahæ fides ad justitiam.

10 Quomodo ergo reputata est? in circumcisione, an in præputio? Non in circumcisione, sed in præputio.

11 Et signum accepit circumcisionis, signaculum justitiæ fidei, quæ est in præputio: ut sit pater omnium credentium per præputium, ut reputetur et illis ad justitiam:

12 et sit pater circumcisionis non iis tantum, qui sunt ex circumcisione, sed et iis qui sectantur vestigia fidei, quæ est in præputio patris nostri Abrahæ.

13 Non enim per legem promissio Abrahæ, aut semini ejus ut hæres esset mundi: sed per justitiam fidei.

14 Si enim qui ex lege, hæredes sunt: exinanita est fides, abolita est promissio.

15 Lex enim iram operatur. Ubi enim non est lex, nec prævaricatio.

16 Ideo ex fide, ut secundum gratiam firma sit promissio omni semini, non ei qui ex lege est solum, sed et ei qui ex fide est Abrahæ, qui pater est omnium nostrum

17 (sicut scriptum est: Quia patrem multarum gentium posui te) ante Deum, cui credidit, qui vivificat mortuos, et vocat ea quæ non sunt, tamquam ea quæ sunt:

18 qui contra spem in spem credidit, ut fieret pater multarum gentium secundum quod dictum est ei: Sic erit semen tuum.

19 Et non infirmatus est fide, nec consideravit corpus suum emortuum, cum jam fere centum esset annorum, et emortuam vulvam Saræ.

20 In repromissione etiam Dei non hæsitavit diffidentia, sed confortatus est fide, dans gloriam Deo:

21 plenissime sciens, quia quæcumque promisit, potens est et facere.

22 Ideo et reputatum est illi ad justitiam.

23 Non est autem scriptum tantum propter ipsum quia reputatum est illi ad justitiam:

24 sed et propter nos, quibus reputabitur credentibus in eum, qui suscitavit Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum a mortuis,

25 qui traditus est propter delicta nostra, et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram.
