G3739–ὅς–hos, hē

among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

οἷς hois “whom”

I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,

ᾧ hō “whom”

For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen.

ὅς hos “who”

in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.

ἣν hēn “which”

You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;

ᾧ hō “that which”

To each man He will make an award corresponding to his actions;

ὃς hos “who”

You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God?

ὃς hos “You who”

But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.

οὗ hou “of whom”

And why should we not say--for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing--"Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just.

ὧν hōn “Their”

"Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."

ὧν hōn “of whom”

He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness-- because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed--

ὃν hon “whom”

unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith.

ὃς hos “who”

In this way David also tells of the blessedness of the man to whose credit God places righteousness, apart from his actions.

ᾧ hō “to whom”

"Blessed," he says, "are those whose iniquities have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over.

ὧν hōn “they of whom”ὧν hōn “of whom”

Blessed is the man of whose sin the Lord will not take account."

οὗ hou “of whom”

All depends on faith, and for this reason--that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace,

ὅς hos “who”

so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives

οὗ hou “whom”

Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words "Equally numerous shall your posterity be."

ὃς hos “who”

and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.

ὃ ho “what”

it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

οἷς hois “to whom”

who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

ὃς hos “who”

through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.

οὗ hou “whom”ᾗ hē “which”

And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.

οὗ hou “whom”

What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.

ᾧ hō “that”

Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.

ὅς hos “who”
