Book of Common Prayer

²³ Now de before pro faith pistis came erchomai, · ho we were held in custody phroureō under hypo the law nomos, imprisoned synkleiō until eis the ho coming mellō faith pistis would be revealed apokalyptō. ²⁴ Thus hōste the ho law nomos was ginomai our hēmeis disciplinarian paidagōgos until eis the time of Christ Christos, so that hina we might be declared righteous dikaioō by ek faith pistis. ²⁵ But de now that faith pistis has come erchomai, · ho we are eimi no longer ouketi under hypo a guardian paidagōgos. ²⁶ For gar you are eimi all pas sons hyios of God theos through dia · ho faith pistis in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous. ²⁷ For gar as many hosos of you baptizō as were baptized baptizō into eis Christ Christos have clothed yourselves with endyō Christ Christos. ²⁸ Now there is neither ou Jew Ioudaios nor oude Greek Hellēn, neither ou slave nor oude free eleutheros, neither ou male arsēn nor kai female thēlys; for gar you hymeis are eimi all pas one heis in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous. ²⁹ And de if ei you hymeis belong to Christ Christos, then ara you are eimi descendants sperma of ho Abraham Abraam, heirs klēronomos according kata to the promise epangelia.

4 What I am saying legō · de is that as long as epi the ho heir klēronomos is eimi a minor nēpios, he differs diapherō not at all oudeis from a slave, even though in fact eimi he owns kyrios the entire pas estate. ² However alla, he remains eimi under hypo the care of guardians epitropē and kai managers oikonomos until achri the ho time determined prothesmia by his ho father patēr. ³ And kai so it is houtōs with us hēmeis. While hote we were eimi minors nēpios, we were eimi enslaved douloō to hypo the ho elementary stoicheion principles of the ho world kosmos. ⁴ But de when hote the ho fullness plērōma of ho time chronos had come erchomai, God theos sent forth exapostellō · ho · ho his autos Son hyios, born ginomai of ek a woman gynē, born ginomai under hypo law nomos, ⁵ to hina redeem exagorazō those ho who were under hypo law nomos, so that hina we might receive apolambanō · ho adoption as sons hyiothesia. ⁶ And de because hoti you are eimi sons hyios, God theos sent exapostellō · ho the ho Spirit pneuma of ho his autos Son hyios into eis · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia, who cries krazō out “ Abba abba! · ho Father patēr!” ⁷ So hōste you are eimi no longer ouketi a slave, but alla a son hyios; and de since ei you are a son hyios, then kai you are an heir klēronomos through dia God theos.

⁸ Formerly alla tote, when you did not ou know oida God theos, you were enslaved douleuō to those ho who eimi by nature physis are eimi not mē gods theos. ⁹ But de now nyn that you have come to know ginōskō God theos— or de rather mallon, are known ginōskō by hypo God theos— how pōs can you turn back epistrephō again palin to epi the ho feeble asthenēs and kai inferior ptōchos elementary principles stoicheion of the world ? How can you want thelō to be douleuō their hos slaves douleuō all over anōthen again palin? ¹⁰ You scrupulously observe paratēreō special days hēmera and kai months mēn and kai seasons kairos and kai years eniautos! ¹¹ I am afraid phobeomai that pōs I may have labored kopiaō over eis you hymeis to no avail eikē.

15 Then tote Pharisees Pharisaios and kai scribes grammateus came proserchomai to ho Jesus Iēsous from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma, saying legō, ² “ Why dia tis do · ho your sy disciples mathētēs break parabainō the ho tradition paradosis of the ho elders presbyteros? For gar they do not ou wash niptō · ho their autos hands cheir when hotan they eat esthiō bread artos.” ³ But de he ho answered apokrinomai them autos, saying legō, “ And kai why dia tis do you hymeis break parabainō the ho commandment entolē of ho God theos for dia the sake of · ho your hymeis tradition paradosis? ⁴ · ho For gar God theos said legō, ‘ Honor timaō your ho father patēr and kai your ho mother mētēr,’ and kai, ‘ Whoever ho speaks kakologeō evil of his father patēr or ē mother mētēr must be put teleutaō to death thanatos.’ ⁵ But de you hymeis say legō, ‘ Whoever hos an says legō to his ho father patēr or ē his ho mother mētēr, “ Whatever hos benefit you might have received ōpheleō from ek me egō is a gift dōron to God,” ⁶ he need not ou mē honor timaō · ho his autos father patēr.’ So kai you have nullified akyroō the ho word logos of ho God theos for dia the sake of · ho your hymeis tradition paradosis. ⁷ You hypocrites hypokritēs! Well kalōs did Isaiah ēsaias prophesy prophēteuō about peri you hymeis, when he said legō: ⁸ · ho ‘ This houtos people laos honors timaō me egō with their ho lips cheilos, · ho but de their autos hearts kardia are apechō far porrō from apo me egō. ⁹ And de in vain matēn do they worship sebō me egō, teaching didaskō as doctrines didaskalia the commandments entalma of men anthrōpos.’”

¹⁰ And kai he called proskaleō the ho crowd ochlos to him and said legō to them autos, “ Hear akouō and kai understand syniēmi: ¹¹ It is not ou what ho goes eiserchomai into eis the ho mouth stoma that defiles koinoō a ho person anthrōpos, but alla what ho comes ekporeuomai out of ek the ho mouth stoma; this houtos defiles koinoō a ho person anthrōpos.”

¹² Then tote the ho disciples mathētēs came proserchomai and said legō to him autos, “ Do you know oida that hoti the ho Pharisees Pharisaios were offended skandalizō when they heard akouō what ho you said logos?” ¹³ And de he ho answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “ Every pas plant phyteia that hos my egō heavenly ouranios Father patēr did not ou plant phyteuō · ho · ho will be rooted ekrizoō up . ¹⁴ Leave aphiēmi them autos be! They are eimi blind typhlos guides hodēgos. And de if ean a blind typhlos man guides hodēgeō a blind typhlos man , both amphoteroi will fall piptō into eis a pit bothunos.”

¹⁵ Then de Peter Petros answered apokrinomai · ho him autos, saying legō, “ Explain phrazō this houtos parable parabolē to us hēmeis.” · ho ¹⁶ And de he ho said legō, “ Are eimi you hymeis without understanding asynetos even kai now akmēn? ¹⁷ Do you not ou understand noeō that hoti everything pas that ho goes eisporeuomai into eis the ho mouth stoma passes chōreō through eis the ho stomach koilia and kai is expelled ekballō into eis the latrine aphedrōn? ¹⁸ But de the ho things that go ekporeuomai out of ek the ho mouth stoma come exerchomai from ek the ho heart kardia, and these kakeinos defile koinoō the ho person anthrōpos. ¹⁹ For gar out ek of the ho heart kardia come exerchomai evil ponēros thoughts dialogismos, murder phonos, adultery moicheia, sexual porneia immorality , theft klopē, false pseudomartyria witness , slander blasphēmia. ²⁰ These houtos are eimi the ho things that defile koinoō a ho person anthrōpos, · ho but de to eat esthiō with unwashed aniptos hands cheir does not ou defile koinoō a ho person anthrōpos.”
