| 2 | ει |  | γαρ |  | αβρααμ |  | εξ |  | εργων |  | εδικαιωθη |  | εχει |  | καυχημα |  | αλλ |  | ου |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | Abraham |  | by |  | works |  | was justified, |  | he has |  | ground of boasting, |  | but |  | not |

προς |  | τον |  | θεον |  |
towards |  | ♦ |  | God. |  |

| 3 | τι |  | γαρ |  | η |  | γραφη |  | λεγει |  | επιστευσεν |  | δε |  | αβρααμ |  | τω |  | θεω |  | και |

| 5 | τω |  | δε |  | μη |  | εργαζομενω |  | πιστευοντι |  | δε |  | επι |  | τον |
|  | but to him that |  | ♦ |  | does not work, |  | ♦ |  | but believes |  | ♦ |  | on |  | him that |
