Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ ⸀δέησιςπρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ ⸀αὐτῶνεἰς σωτηρίαν.
2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ κατʼ ἐπίγνωσιν,
3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ⸀ἰδίανζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν·
4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει ⸂ὅτι τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ ⸀τοῦ νόμου ὁ ⸀ποιήσας ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν ⸀αὐτῇ.
6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει· Μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· Τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; τοῦτʼ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν·
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
ἤ· Τίς καταβήσεται εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον; τοῦτʼ ἔστιν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναγαγεῖν. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
ἀλλὰ τί λέγει; Ἐγγύς σου τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν, ἐν τῷ στόματί σου καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τῆς πίστεως ὃ κηρύσσομεν.
9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
ὅτι ἐὰν ⸀ὁμολογήσῃςἐν τῷ στόματί ⸀σουκύριον Ἰησοῦν, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ·
10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν·
11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή· Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος, ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων, πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν·
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.
14 How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
Πῶς οὖν ⸀ἐπικαλέσωνταιεἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; πῶς δὲ ⸀πιστεύσωσινοὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; πῶς δὲ ⸀ἀκούσωσινχωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
πῶς δὲ ⸀κηρύξωσινἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; ⸀καθὼςγέγραπται· Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν ⸀εὐαγγελιζομένων⸀τὰἀγαθά.
16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ· Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει· Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;
17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος ⸀Χριστοῦ
18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
Ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; μενοῦνγε· Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν.
19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ ⸂Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει· Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπʼ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπʼ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.
20 And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει· Εὑρέθην ⸀ἐντοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ⸀ἐγενόμηντοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.
21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει· Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.
