< Romans 10 >

1 Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;
Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας, καὶ ἡ δέησις πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἰς σωτηρίαν.
2 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
Μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον ˚Θεοῦ ἔχουσιν, ἀλλʼ οὐ κατʼ ἐπίγνωσιν.
3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
Ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν.
4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
Τέλος γὰρ νόμου ˚Χριστὸς, εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
5 for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου, ὅτι “Ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος, ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.”
6 and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to 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 go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of 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 saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach;
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 may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved,
Ὅτι ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς ἐν τῷ στόματί σου, “˚Κύριον ˚Ἰησοῦν”, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ ˚Θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ.
10 for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
Καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν.
11 for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
Λέγει γὰρ ἡ Γραφή, “Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.”
12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling 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, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
“Πᾶς” γὰρ “ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα ˚Κυρίου, σωθήσεται.”
14 How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?
Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσωνται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; Πῶς δὲ πιστεύσωσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; Πῶς δὲ ἀκούσωσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
15 And how will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!”
Πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; Καθὼς γέγραπται, “Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων ἀγαθά!”
16 But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
Ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ. Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;”
17 So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
Ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος ˚Χριστοῦ.
18 but I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable 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 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,”
Ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; Πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει, “Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς, ἐπʼ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπʼ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ, παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.”
20 and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει, “Εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.”
21 and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
Πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει, “Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.”
