Romans

Chapter 15

Phonetic (Greek): Ὀpheilomen de hemeis ohi dynatoi ta asthenemata ton adynaton bastazein, kai me heautois areskein.

Edified Edition (EDE)We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Ὀφείλομεν δὲ ἡμεῖς οἱ δυνατοὶ τὰ ἀσθενήματα τῶν ἀδυνάτων βαστάζειν, καὶ μὴ ἑαυτοῖς ἀρέσκειν.

Phonetic (Greek): hekastos hemon tῷ plesion aresketo eis to agathon pros oikodomen·

Edified Edition (EDE)Let each of us please his neighbour for his good, leading to edification.

ἕκαστος ἡμῶν τῷ πλησίον ἀρεσκέτω εἰς τὸ ἀγαθὸν πρὸς οἰκοδομήν·

Phonetic (Greek): kai gar ho Christos oych heautῷ eresen· alla kathos gegraptai· Ohi oneidismoi ton oneidizonton se epepesan epʼ eme.

Edified Edition (EDE)For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

καὶ γὰρ ὁ Χριστὸς οὐχ ἑαυτῷ ἤρεσεν· ἀλλὰ καθὼς γέγραπται· Οἱ ὀνειδισμοὶ τῶν ὀνειδιζόντων σε ἐπέπεσαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ.

Phonetic (Greek): hosa gar proegraphe, ⸀eis ten hemeteran didaskalian ⸀egraphe, hina dia tes hypomones kai dia tes parakleseos ton graphon ten elpida echomen.

Edified Edition (EDE)For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

ὅσα γὰρ προεγράφη, ⸀εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν διδασκαλίαν ⸀ἐγράφη, ἵνα διὰ τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ διὰ τῆς παρακλήσεως τῶν γραφῶν τὴν ἐλπίδα ἔχωμεν.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de theos tes hypomones kai tes parakleseos dῴe hymin to ayto phronein en allelois kata ⸂Christon Ἰesoyn⸃,

Edified Edition (EDE)Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ὑπομονῆς καὶ τῆς παρακλήσεως δῴη ὑμῖν τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖν ἐν ἀλλήλοις κατὰ ⸂Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν⸃,

Phonetic (Greek): hina homothymadon en heni stomati doxazete ton theon kai patera toy kyriou hemon Ἰesoy Christoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ἵνα ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν ἑνὶ στόματι δοξάζητε τὸν θεὸν καὶ πατέρα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): Dio proslambanesthe allelous, kathos kai ho Christos proselabeto ⸀hymas, eis doxan ⸀toy theoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

Διὸ προσλαμβάνεσθε ἀλλήλους, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς προσελάβετο ⸀ὑμᾶς, εἰς δόξαν ⸀τοῦ θεοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): lego ⸀gar ⸀Christon diakonon ⸀gegenesthai peritomes hyper aletheias theoy, eis to bebaiosai tas epangelias ton pateron,

Edified Edition (EDE)Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

λέγω ⸀γὰρ ⸀Χριστὸν διάκονον ⸀γεγενῆσθαι περιτομῆς ὑπὲρ ἀληθείας θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ βεβαιῶσαι τὰς ἐπαγγελίας τῶν πατέρων,

Phonetic (Greek): ta de ethne hyper eleous doxasai ton theon· kathos gegraptai· Dia toyto exomologesomai soi en ethnesi, kai tῷ onomati sou psalo.

Edified Edition (EDE)and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

τὰ δὲ ἔθνη ὑπὲρ ἐλέους δοξάσαι τὸν θεόν· καθὼς γέγραπται· Διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι ἐν ἔθνεσι, καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ.

Phonetic (Greek): kai palin legei· Eyphranthete, ethne, meta toy laoy aytoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

καὶ πάλιν λέγει· Εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): kai palin· Aineite, ⸂panta ta ethne, ton kyrion⸃, kai ⸀epainesatosan ayton pantes ohi laoi.

Edified Edition (EDE)And again: "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!"

καὶ πάλιν· Αἰνεῖτε, ⸂πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, τὸν κύριον⸃, καὶ ⸀ἐπαινεσάτωσαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ λαοί.

Phonetic (Greek): kai palin Ἠsaias legei· Ἔstai he ῥiza toy Ἰessai, kai ho anistamenos archein ethnon· epʼ aytῷ ethne elpioysin.

Edified Edition (EDE)And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope."

καὶ πάλιν Ἠσαΐας λέγει· Ἔσται ἡ ῥίζα τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, καὶ ὁ ἀνιστάμενος ἄρχειν ἐθνῶν· ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de theos tes elpidos plerosai hymas pases charas kai eirenes en tῷ pisteyein, eis to perisseyein hymas en tῇ elpidi en dynamei pneymatos hagiou.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς ἐλπίδος πληρώσαι ὑμᾶς πάσης χαρᾶς καὶ εἰρήνης ἐν τῷ πιστεύειν, εἰς τὸ περισσεύειν ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐλπίδι ἐν δυνάμει πνεύματος ἁγίου.

Phonetic (Greek): Pepeismai de, adelphoi mou, kai aytos ego peri hymon, hoti kai aytoi mestoi este agathosynes, pepleromenoi ⸀pases gnoseos, dynamenoi kai ⸀allelous nouthetein.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Πέπεισμαι δέ, ἀδελφοί μου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐγὼ περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι καὶ αὐτοὶ μεστοί ἐστε ἀγαθωσύνης, πεπληρωμένοι ⸀πάσης γνώσεως, δυνάμενοι καὶ ⸀ἀλλήλους νουθετεῖν.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀tolmeroteron de egrapsa ⸀hymin apo merous, hos epanamimnῄskon hymas, dia ten charin ten dotheisan moi ⸀hypo toy theoy

Edified Edition (EDE)Nevertheless, brothers, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

⸀τολμηρότερον δὲ ἔγραψα ⸀ὑμῖν ἀπὸ μέρους, ὡς ἐπαναμιμνῄσκων ὑμᾶς, διὰ τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι ⸀ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ

Phonetic (Greek): eis to einai me leitourgon ⸂Christoy Ἰesoy⸃ eis ta ethne, hierourgoynta to eyangelion toy theoy, hina genetai he prosphora ton ethnon eyprosdektos, hegiasmene en pneymati hagiῳ.

Edified Edition (EDE)that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

εἰς τὸ εἶναί με λειτουργὸν ⸂Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ⸃ εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, ἱερουργοῦντα τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα γένηται ἡ προσφορὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν εὐπρόσδεκτος, ἡγιασμένη ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.

Phonetic (Greek): echo oyn ⸀ten kaychesin en Christῷ Ἰesoy ta pros ton theon·

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in those things which pertain to God.

ἔχω οὖν ⸀τὴν καύχησιν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν·

Phonetic (Greek): oy gar tolmeso ⸂ti lalein⸃ hon oy kateirgasato Christos diʼ emoy eis hypakoen ethnon, logῳ kai ergῳ,

Edified Edition (EDE)For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient,

οὐ γὰρ τολμήσω ⸂τι λαλεῖν⸃ ὧν οὐ κατειργάσατο Χριστὸς διʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς ὑπακοὴν ἐθνῶν, λόγῳ καὶ ἔργῳ,

Phonetic (Greek): en dynamei semeion kai teraton, en dynamei ⸀pneymatos· hoste me apo Ἰerousalem kai kyklῳ mechri toy Ἰllyrikoy peplerokenai to eyangelion toy Christoy,

Edified Edition (EDE)in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

ἐν δυνάμει σημείων καὶ τεράτων, ἐν δυνάμει ⸀πνεύματος· ὥστε με ἀπὸ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ κύκλῳ μέχρι τοῦ Ἰλλυρικοῦ πεπληρωκέναι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

Phonetic (Greek): ohytos de ⸀philotimoymenon eyangelizesthai oych hopou onomasthe Christos, hina me epʼ allotrion themelion oikodomo,

Edified Edition (EDE)And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation,

οὕτως δὲ ⸀φιλοτιμούμενον εὐαγγελίζεσθαι οὐχ ὅπου ὠνομάσθη Χριστός, ἵνα μὴ ἐπʼ ἀλλότριον θεμέλιον οἰκοδομῶ,

Phonetic (Greek): alla kathos gegraptai· ⸂Ohis oyk anengele peri aytoy opsontai⸃, kai ohi oyk akekoasin synesousin.

Edified Edition (EDE)but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand."

ἀλλὰ καθὼς γέγραπται· ⸂Οἷς οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη περὶ αὐτοῦ ὄψονται⸃, καὶ οἳ οὐκ ἀκηκόασιν συνήσουσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): Dio kai enekoptomen ta polla toy elthein pros hymas·

Edified Edition (EDE)For this reason I have been much hindered from coming to you.

Διὸ καὶ ἐνεκοπτόμην τὰ πολλὰ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς·

Phonetic (Greek): nyni de meketi topon echon en tois klimasi toytois, epipothian de echon toy elthein pros hymas apo ⸀hikanon eton,

Edified Edition (EDE)But now no longer having a place in these regions, and having a great desire these many years to come to you,

νυνὶ δὲ μηκέτι τόπον ἔχων ἐν τοῖς κλίμασι τούτοις, ἐπιποθίαν δὲ ἔχων τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ ⸀ἱκανῶν ἐτῶν,

Phonetic (Greek): hos ⸀an poreyomai eis ten ⸀Spanian, elpizo gar diaporeuomenos theasasthai hymas kai hyphʼ hymon propemphthenai ekei ean hymon proton apo merous emplestho—

Edified Edition (EDE)whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

ὡς ⸀ἂν πορεύωμαι εἰς τὴν ⸀Σπανίαν, ἐλπίζω γὰρ διαπορευόμενος θεάσασθαι ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑφʼ ὑμῶν προπεμφθῆναι ἐκεῖ ἐὰν ὑμῶν πρῶτον ἀπὸ μέρους ἐμπλησθῶ—

Phonetic (Greek): nyni de poreyomai eis Ἰerousalem diakonon tois hagiois.

Edified Edition (EDE)But now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

νυνὶ δὲ πορεύομαι εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ διακονῶν τοῖς ἁγίοις.

Phonetic (Greek): eydokesan gar Makedonia kai Ἀchaia koinonian tina poiesasthai eis toys ptochoys ton hagion ton en Ἰerousalem.

Edified Edition (EDE)For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

εὐδόκησαν γὰρ Μακεδονία καὶ Ἀχαΐα κοινωνίαν τινὰ ποιήσασθαι εἰς τοὺς πτωχοὺς τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Phonetic (Greek): eydokesan gar, kai opheiletai ⸂eisin ayton⸃· ei gar tois pneumatikois ayton ekoinonesan ta ethne, opheilousin kai en tois sarkikois leitourgesai aytois.

Edified Edition (EDE)It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.

εὐδόκησαν γάρ, καὶ ὀφειλέται ⸂εἰσὶν αὐτῶν⸃· εἰ γὰρ τοῖς πνευματικοῖς αὐτῶν ἐκοινώνησαν τὰ ἔθνη, ὀφείλουσιν καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαρκικοῖς λειτουργῆσαι αὐτοῖς.

Phonetic (Greek): toyto oyn epitelesas, kai sphragisamenos aytois ton karpon toyton, apeleysomai diʼ hymon ⸀eis Spanian·

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

τοῦτο οὖν ἐπιτελέσας, καὶ σφραγισάμενος αὐτοῖς τὸν καρπὸν τοῦτον, ἀπελεύσομαι διʼ ὑμῶν ⸀εἰς Σπανίαν·

Phonetic (Greek): oida de hoti erchomenos pros hymas en pleromati ⸀eylogias Christoy eleysomai.

Edified Edition (EDE)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

οἶδα δὲ ὅτι ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν πληρώματι ⸀εὐλογίας Χριστοῦ ἐλεύσομαι.

Phonetic (Greek): Parakalo de hymas, adelphoi, dia toy kyriou hemon Ἰesoy Christoy kai dia tes agapes toy pneymatos synagonisasthai moi en tais proseuchais hyper emoy pros ton theon,

Edified Edition (EDE)Now I beg you, brothers, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ διὰ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ πνεύματος συναγωνίσασθαί μοι ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν θεόν,

Phonetic (Greek): hina ῥystho apo ton apeithoynton en tῇ Ἰoudaiᾳ ⸀kai he diakonia mou he eis Ἰerousalem eyprosdektos ⸂tois hagiois genetai⸃,

Edified Edition (EDE)that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

ἵνα ῥυσθῶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπειθούντων ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ⸀καὶ ἡ διακονία μου ἡ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εὐπρόσδεκτος ⸂τοῖς ἁγίοις γένηται⸃,

Phonetic (Greek): ho de theos tes eirenes meta panton hymon· amen.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.
