4 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

13The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.The Promise Realised through Faith Ro.4.13-25Οὐ γὰρ διὰ νόμου ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῷ Ἀβραὰμ ἢ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ, τὸ κληρονόμον αὐτὸν εἶναι κόσμου, ἀλλὰ διὰ δικαιοσύνης πίστεως·
14If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. εἰ γὰρ οἱ ἐκ νόμου κληρονόμοι, κεκένωται ἡ πίστις καὶ κατήργηται ἡ ἐπαγγελία·
15For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. ὁ γὰρ νόμος ὀργὴν κατεργάζεται· οὗ δὲ οὐκ ἐστιν νόμος, οὐδὲ παράβασις.
16That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants - not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all, διὰ τοῦτο ἐκ πίστεως, ἵνα κατὰ χάριν, εἰς τὸ εἶναι βεβαίαν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν παντὶ τῷ σπέρματι, οὐ τῷ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ τῷ ἐκ πίστεως Ἀβραάμ (ὁς ἐστιν πατὴρ πάντων ἡμῶν,
17as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations"- in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. - I have made you the father of many nations Ro.4.17 | Gn.17.5 | Gn.15.5καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι Πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε ) κατέναντι οὗ ἐπίστευσεν θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳοποιοῦντος τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ καλοῦντος τὰ μὴ ὀντα ὡς ὀντα·
18In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be." - So shall your descendants be Ro.4.18 | Is.48.13ὃς παρ' ἐλπίδα ἐπ' ἐλπίδι ἐπίστευσεν εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον, Οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου·
19He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. καὶ μὴ ἀσθενήσας τῇ πίστει κατενόησεν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σῶμα ἠδη νενεκρωμένον, ἑκατονταετής που ὑπάρχων, καὶ τὴν νέκρωσιν τῆς μήτρας Σάρρας,
20No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, εἰς δὲ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ διεκρίθη τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ ἀλλ' ἐνεδυναμώθη τῇ πίστει, δοὺς δόξαν τῷ θεῷ
21fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. καὶ πληροφορηθεὶς ὅτι ὃ ἐπήγγελται δυνατός ἐστιν καὶ ποιῆσαι.
22That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."- reckoned to him as righteousness Ro.4.22 | Gn.15.6διὸ καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην.
23But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone, Οὐκ ἐγράφη δὲ δῖ αὐτὸν μόνον ὅτι ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ,
24but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,  ἀλλὰ καὶ δῖ ἡμᾶς οἷς μέλλει λογίζεσθαι, τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν ἐγείραντα Ἰησοῦν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν ἐκ νεκρῶν,
25who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification. ὃς παρεδόθη διὰ τὰ παραπτώματα ἡμῶν καὶ ἠγέρθη διὰ τὴν δικαίωσιν ἡμῶν.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
