As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.” 10kai palin legatō; Eufranivar, ethneim, meta tou laou autou.Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.” 11kai palin; Ainavōr, ⸂panteim teim ethneim, ton kurion,⸃ kai ⸀epainalar auton pantois tois laois.And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.” 12kai palin Ēsaios legatō; Eti tas rizas tou Iessai, kai tos anastēorōntos archarō ethneiu; epi auto ethneim elpizali.And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.” 13tos de theos tau elpidau plēratoia vin pantau charau kai eirēnau en te pisteuarō, eis tem perisseuarō vin en ta elpida en dunamia pneumeu hagieu.Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 14Peithomē de, adelfoir mu, kai autos mis peri vu, hoti kai autois mestois avō agathōsunau, plērorēntois ⸀pantau gnōsiau, dunorōntois kai ⸀allēloin nouthetarō.I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another. 15⸀tolmēroteron de grafama ⸀vi apo mereu, hōs epanamimnēskarōntos vin, dia tan charitan tan dōirantan mi ⸀hupo tou theouHowever, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me 16eis tem arō min leitourgon ⸂Christou Iēsu⸃ eis teim ethneim, hierourgarōnton tem euangeliem tou theou, hina geneteia tas prosforas teiu ethneiu euprosdektas, hagiazorēntas en pneume hagie.to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17echamō oun ⸀tan kauchēsian en Christo Iēso teim pros ton theon;Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18ouk gar tolmami ⸂tinem lalarō⸃ heiu ouk katergazeta Christos dia mu eis hupakoan ethneiu, logo kai erge,I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, 19en dunamia sēmeiu kai terateiu, en dunamia ⸀pneumeu; hōste min apo Ierousalēm kai kuklō mechris teu Illurikeu plērarē tem euangeliem tou Christou,by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. 20houtōs de ⸀filotimorōnton euangelizorō ouk hopou onomazita Christos, hina mē epi allotrion themelion oikodomameiō,In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. 21alla kathōs grafotē; ⸂Hoi ouk anangelita peri autou horeli,⸃ kai hois ouk akoualē suniēkali.Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” 22Dio kai enkoptome teim polleim teu erchara pros vin;That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you. 23nuni de mēketi topon echarōntos en tei klimei houtei, epipothian de echarōntos teu erchara pros vin apo ⸀hikanoiu eteiu,But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you, 24hōs ⸀an poreuomeiō eis tan ⸀Spanian, elpizamō gar diaporeuorōntos theasera vin kai hupo vu propempira ekei ean vu prōtem apo mereu empimplēimeiaI hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey. 25nuni de poreuomō eis Ierousalēm diakonarōntos toi hagioi.Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there. 26eudokala gar Makedonias kai Achaias koinōnian tinan poiera eis toin ptōchoin toiu hagioiu toiu en Ierousalēm.For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27eudokala gar, kai ofeiletois ⸂alō autoiu;⸃ ei gar tei pneumatikei autoiu koinōnala teim ethneim, ofeilalō kai en tei sarkikei leitourgara autoi.They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings. 28houtem oun epitelarantos, kai sfragizerantos autoi ton karpon houton, aperchemi dia vu ⸀eis Spanian;So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you. 29oidamē de hoti erchorōntos pros vin en plērōme ⸀eulogiau Christou erchemi.I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ. 30Parakalamō de vin, adelfoir, dia tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou kai dia tau agapau teu pneumeu sunagōnizera mi en tai proseuchai huper mu pros ton theon,Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31hina ruimeia apo toiu apeitharōntoiu en ta Ioudaia ⸀kai tas diakonias mu tas eis Ierousalēm euprosdektas ⸂toi hagioi geneteia,⸃Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there, 32hina en chara ⸀ercharantos pros vin dia thelēmeu ⸀theou sunanapauemeia vi.so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. 33tos de theos tau eirēnau meta pantoiu vu; amēn.The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
