Romans Chapter 15 Verses
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).
2 εκαστος γαρ ημων τω πλησιον αρεσκετω εις το αγαθον προς οικοδομην
3 For also the Christ pleased not Himself; but, according as it has been written, ‘The reproaches of those reproaching You fell upon Me.’
3 και γαρ ο χριστος ουχ εαυτω ηρεσεν αλλα καθως γεγραπται οι ονειδισμοι των ονειδιζοντων σε επεπεσον επ εμε
4 For whatever was written before, was written for our teaching (didaskalian) that through the endurance (hupomones) and the consolation of the Scriptures (writings), we may have hope (echomen – sure expectation).
4 οσα γαρ προεγραφη εις την ημετεραν διδασκαλιαν προεγραφη ινα δια της υπομονης και της παρακλησεως των γραφων την ελπιδα εχωμεν
5 Yet the God of the endurance and of the consolation, may He grant to you the same inclination (phronein – consideration; attitude?) (toward) in one another according to Christ Jesus,
5 ο δε θεος της υπομονης και της παρακλησεως δωη υμιν το αυτο φρονειν εν αλληλοις κατα χριστον ιησουν
6 that with one accord (homothumadon – the same mind) in one mouth you may be glorifying the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6 ινα ομοθυμαδον εν ενι στοματι δοξαζητε τον θεον και πατερα του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
7 Wherefore (through which) receive one another according as also the Christ received (took) us into glory of God.
7 διο προσλαμβανεσθε αλληλους καθως και ο χριστος προσελαβετο ημας εις δοξαν θεου
8 Yet I say that Jesus Christ a servant to have become (became a servant?) of circumcision for (the) sake of truth of God, to confirm the promises of the (meaning: belonging or pertaining to the fathers) fathers,
8 λεγω δε ιησουν χριστον διακονον γεγενησθαι περιτομης υπερ αληθειας θεου εις το βεβαιωσαι τας επαγγελιας των πατερων
9 yet the Gentiles (ethne) for the sake of mercy to glorify the God, as it has been written, ‘Through this shall I confess to You in nations (ethnesin), and to Your Name shall I make music (psalo).
9 τα δε εθνη υπερ ελεους δοξασαι τον θεον καθως γεγραπται δια τουτο εξομολογησομαι σοι εν εθνεσιν και τω ονοματι σου ψαλω
10 And again he says, ‘Rejoice (euphranthete – make merry; be glad), nations, with His people!’
10 και παλιν λεγει ευφρανθητε εθνη μετα του λαου αυτου
11 And again, ‘Praise the Lord, all the nations; and praise Him, all the peoples!’
11 και παλιν αινειτε τον κυριον παντα τα εθνη και επαινεσατε αυτον παντες οι λαοι
12 And again Isaiah says, ‘The root of Jesse shall be, and Him rising to be chief of nations; on Him shall the nations hope (trust).’
12 και παλιν ησαιας λεγει εσται η ριζα του ιεσσαι και ο ανισταμενος αρχειν εθνων επ αυτω εθνη ελπιουσιν
13 Yet the God of the hope, may He be filling you with all joy and peace in the believing (pisteuein, hope), that you abound in the hope (expectation) in the power of the Holy Ghost!
13 ο δε θεος της ελπιδος πληρωσαι υμας πασης χαρας και ειρηνης εν τω πιστευειν εις το περισσευειν υμας εν τη ελπιδι εν δυναμει πνευματος αγιου
14 Yet I have been persuaded, my brethren, also I myself, concerning you, that also yourselves are full (mestoi – lit: bulging; distended; bursting) of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another!
14 πεπεισμαι δε αδελφοι μου και αυτος εγω περι υμων οτι και αυτοι μεστοι εστε αγαθωσυνης πεπληρωμενοι πασης γνωσεως δυναμενοι και αλληλους νουθετειν
15 Yet, I wrote more boldly to you, in part, as reminding (prompting) you, because of the grace being given to me under the God,
15 τολμηροτερον δε εγραψα υμιν αδελφοι απο μερους ως επαναμιμνησκων υμας δια την χαριν την δοθεισαν μοι υπο του θεου
16 that I be the minister (servant – leitourgon) of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles (nations), ministering (hierourgounta – holy + work; priestly work? – acting as priest) the gospel of the God, that the offering of the nations may become acceptable (well-received), having been sanctified in Holy Spirit (spirit holy).
16 εις το ειναι με λειτουργον ιησου χριστου εις τα εθνη ιερουργουντα το ευαγγελιον του θεου ινα γενηται η προσφορα των εθνων ευπροσδεκτος ηγιασμενη εν πνευματι αγιω
17 I have, then, boasting in Christ Jesus toward the God,
17 εχω ουν καυχησιν εν χριστω ιησου τα προς θεον
18 for I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, OR
for not I dare to be speaking any of which not effects Christ through me into obedience of nations to saying (to word) and to work (to act) OR
for I am not daring to be speaking anything which Christ (does) not effect through (by) me into (or: toward the) obedience of nations to word and to deed OR
not because (for) I will dare to be speaking any of which (anything) Christ (does) not effect (cause) through me into the obedience of nations to (in) word and to (in) actions
18 ου γαρ τολμησω λαλειν τι ων ου κατειργασατο χριστος δι εμου εις υπακοην εθνων λογω και εργω
19 in power of signs and miracles in power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and around to Illyricum, have filled the gospel of the Christ.
19 εν δυναμει σημειων και τερατων εν δυναμει πνευματος θεου ωστε με απο ιερουσαλημ και κυκλω μεχρι του ιλλυρικου πεπληρωκεναι το ευαγγελιον του χριστου
20 Yet, being thus ambitious to proclaim the gospel not where Christ is named, that I not build upon another person’s foundation,
20 ουτως δε φιλοτιμουμενον ευαγγελιζεσθαι ουχ οπου ωνομασθη χριστος ινα μη επ αλλοτριον θεμελιον οικοδομω

21 but according as it has been written, ‘To whom it was not proclaimed about Him, they shall see; and who have not heard shall understand.’
21 αλλα καθως γεγραπται οις ουκ ανηγγελη περι αυτου οψονται και οι ουκ ακηκοασιν συνησουσιν
22 through which also I was much hindered from coming to you.
22 διο και ενεκοπτομην τα πολλα του ελθειν προς υμας
23 But now, having no more place in these regions, yet having a longing to be coming to you from many years,
23 νυνι δε μηκετι τοπον εχων εν τοις κλιμασιν τουτοις επιποθιαν δε εχων του ελθειν προς υμας απο πολλων ετων
24 whenever I may be going into Spain, I shall come to you, for I hope, going through, to see you and by you to be sent forward, if first by you I should in part be filled. (should be partly filled of you – may either mean that they will partly fill him, or that he will have a partial share of them through his (short) visit with them)
24 ως εαν πορευωμαι εις την σπανιαν ελευσομαι προς υμας ελπιζω γαρ διαπορευομενος θεασασθαι υμας και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εκει εαν υμων πρωτον απο μερους εμπλησθω
25 But now I am going into Jerusalem serving to the saints.
25 νυνι δε πορευομαι εις ιερουσαλημ διακονων τοις αγιοις
26 For Macedonia and Achaia delight (eudokesan – seems good) to make some contribution to the poor of the saints of those in Jerusalem.
26 ευδοκησαν γαρ μακεδονια και αχαια κοινωνιαν τινα ποιησασθαι εις τους πτωχους των αγιων των εν ιερουσαλημ
27 For they are pleased – and their debtors they are, for if of their spiritual (things, benefits; pneumatikois), the nations (Gentiles) participate (communion), they ought also in the fleshly (matters; sarkikois) to serve to them.
27 ευδοκησαν γαρ και οφειλεται αυτων εισιν ει γαρ τοις πνευματικοις αυτων εκοινωνησαν τα εθνη οφειλουσιν και εν τοις σαρκικοις λειτουργησαι αυτοις
28 This then accomplishing, and sealing to them this fruit, I shall come away through you into Spain.
28 τουτο ουν επιτελεσας και σφραγισαμενος αυτοις τον καρπον τουτον απελευσομαι δι υμων εις την σπανιαν
29 I have perceived yet that coming to you, in filling of the blessing (of blessedness) of the gospel of Christ I shall be coming.
29 οιδα δε οτι ερχομενος προς υμας εν πληρωματι ευλογιας του ευαγγελιου του χριστου ελευσομαι
30 I am yet entreating you, brothers, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to struggle (contend) together with me in the prayers for me to God,
30 παρακαλω δε υμας αδελφοι δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και δια της αγαπης του πνευματος συναγωνισασθαι μοι εν ταις προσευχαις υπερ εμου προς τον θεον
31 that I should be delivered from the unbelieving (unbelievers) in Judaea; and that my service, (diakonia) that (is) to Jerusalem, may become well-received to the saints,
31 ινα ρυσθω απο των απειθουντων εν τη ιουδαια και ινα η διακονια μου η εις ιερουσαλημ ευπροσδεκτος γενηται τοις αγιοις
32 that in joy I may come to you through (the) will of God, and I should be resting together with you.
32 ινα εν χαρα ελθω προς υμας δια θεληματος θεου και συναναπαυσωμαι υμιν
33 Yet (still; in the sense of continuing) the God of the peace (be) with you all. Amen.
33 ο δε θεος της ειρηνης μετα παντων υμων αμην
