¹³ For gar the ho promise epangelia that he autos would be eimi heir klēronomos of kosmos the world kosmos did not ou come to ho Abraham Abraam or ē to ho his autos descendants sperma through dia the law nomos, · ho but alla through dia the righteousness dikaiosynē of faith pistis. ¹⁴ For gar if ei the ho heirs klēronomos are those who follow ek the law nomos, then faith pistis is meaningless kenoō · ho and kai the ho promise epangelia is void katargeō. ¹⁵ For gar the ho Law nomos brings about katergazomai wrath orgē, but de where hou there is eimi no ou law nomos, there can be no oude violation parabasis. ¹⁶ For dia this houtos reason the ho promise epangelia is based ek on faith pistis, that hina it may depend kata on grace charis and so eis that it may be eimi made certain bebaios to all pas his ho descendants sperma, not ou only monon to those ho who are under ek the ho law nomos, but alla also kai to those ho who share ek the faith pistis of Abraham Abraam, who hos is eimi the father patēr of us hēmeis all pas. ¹⁷ As kathōs it is written graphō, “ I have made tithēmi you sy the father patēr of many polys nations ethnos.” He is our father, in the presence katenanti of God theos in pisteuō whom hos he believed pisteuō, the ho God who gives zōiopoieō life to the ho dead nekros and kai calls kaleō into hōs being eimi the ho things that do not mē exist eimi. ¹⁸ Hoping elpis against epi hope elpis, Abraham hos believed pisteuō that eis he autos would become ginomai the father patēr of many polys nations ethnos according kata to what ho had been spoken legō, “ So houtōs will your sy descendants sperma be eimi.” · ho ¹⁹ · kai Not mē being weak astheneō in ho faith pistis, he considered katanoeō · ho his heautou own body sōma as dead nekroō ( since he was hyparchō about pou a hundred hekatontaetēs years old ), and kai the ho barrenness nekrōsis of ho Sarah’ s Sarra womb mētra. ²⁰ He did diakrinō not ou waver diakrinō in ho unbelief apistia regarding eis · de the ho promise epangelia of ho God theos but alla was strengthened endynamoō in ho faith pistis, giving didōmi glory doxa to ho God theos, ²¹ · kai fully plērophoreō convinced that hoti what hos God had promised epangellomai, he was eimi also kai able dynatos to do poieō. ²² That dio is why · kai his faith was credited logizomai to him autos as eis righteousness dikaiosynē. ²³ But de the statement, “ it was credited logizomai to him autos,” was not ou written graphō for dia his autos sake alone monon, ²⁴ but alla for dia our hēmeis sake dia as kai well , to whom hos it will mellō be credited logizomai, those ho who believe pisteuō in epi the ho one who raised egeirō Jesus Iēsous · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios from ek the dead nekros, ²⁵ who hos was delivered paradidōmi over to death for dia · ho our hēmeis transgressions paraptōma and kai raised egeirō for dia · ho our hēmeis justification dikaiōsis.

³⁷ On en · de the ho last eschatos day hēmera of the ho festival heortē, the ho great megas day, Jesus Iēsous stood histēmi · ho and kai cried krazō out , saying legō, “ If ean anyone tis is thirsty dipsaō, let him come erchomai to pros me egō and kai drink pinō. ³⁸ The ho one who believes pisteuō in eis me egō, as kathōs the ho scripture graphē says legō, “ Out ek of ho his autos heart koilia will flow rheō rivers potamos of living zaō water hydōr.’” ³⁹ Now de he said legō this houtos about peri the ho Spirit pneuma, which hos those ho who believed pisteuō in eis him autos were mellō to receive lambanō; for gar the Spirit pneuma was not oupō yet present eimi, because hoti Jesus Iēsous had not oudepō yet been glorified doxazō.

⁴⁰ After hearing akouō these houtos words logos, some of ek the ho crowd ochlos · ho began to say legō, “ This houtos man really alēthōs is eimi the ho prophet prophētēs.” ⁴¹ Others allos were saying legō, “ This houtos man is eimi the ho Christ Christos.” But de others ho were saying legō, “ Surely the ho Christ Christos does erchomai not mē come erchomai from ek · ho Galilee Galilaia, does he ? ⁴² Has not ou the ho scripture graphē said legō that hoti the ho Christ Christos will be a ho descendant sperma of David Dauid and kai come erchomai from apo Bethlehem Bēthleem, the ho village kōmē where hopou David Dauid was eimi born?” ⁴³ So oun there was ginomai a division schisma among en the ho people ochlos because dia of him autos. ⁴⁴ Some tis · de of ek them autos wanted thelō to arrest piazō him autos, but alla no oudeis one laid epiballō a hand cheir on epi him autos. · ho
