The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Part 11

The text provided is a reconstructed transcription of the Greek fragment from the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 8.

[we may be glorified. For I reckon that the] sufferings Romans 8:18
[of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be]
[revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the] creation
[waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the] creation Romans 8:19-20
was subjected to vanity,
[not willingly, but by reason of him who subjected it in hope]
[that the creation itself also shall be freed] from the bondage
[of corruption into the liberty of the glory]
[of the children of God. For we know that the whole] creation Romans 8:21-22
[groans and travails in pain] together until now.

[seen] Romans 8:24
[is not hope; for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise the Spirit also helps] Romans 8:25-26
[our infirmity: for we do not know what we should pray for] as
[is fitting; but the Spirit itself makes intercession] Romans 8:26
[with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he who searches the hearts] Romans 8:27

Who [shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who] Romans 8:33-34
[is] he who [condemns? It is Christ Jesus who died, or rather who was raised,]
who [is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for]
us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] Romans 8:34-35
tribulation, [or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,] Romans 8:35
or [peril, or sword? As it is written, For your sake] Romans 8:35-36
we are [killed] all the day long; we were accounted Romans 8:36
as sheep [for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors] Romans 8:37-38
through him who [loved us. For I am persuaded that] Romans 8:37-38
neither death, [nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor] Romans 8:38-39
things present, [nor things to come, nor powers, nor] Romans 8:39
height, [nor] depth, [nor any other created thing, shall be able] Romans 8:39
