The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, “Romans 9:5 (word-for-word English under the Greek)”

1985 · Romans 9:5 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“ἐξ out of ὧν whom ὁ the χριστὸς Christ τὸ the (thing) κατὰ according to σάρκα, flesh, ὁ the (one) ὢν being ἐπὶ upon πάντων, all (things), θεὸς God εὐλογητὸς blessed (one) εἰς into τοὺς the αἰῶνας· ages; ἀμήν. amen.”

The Greek runs on without a full stop. Whether ὁ ὤν ('the one being') continues the description of Christ or begins a new clause about God is a question of punctuation, which the earliest manuscripts do not settle.
