Romans 10

1 My friends, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for my people is for their salvation.

Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ δέησις (ἡ *k*) πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ (τοῦ *k*) (αὐτῶν *N(K)O*) (ἐστιν *k*) εἰς σωτηρίαν.

2 I can testify that they are zealous for the honor of God; but they are not guided by true insight,

μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν ἀλλ᾽ οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπίγνωσιν.

3 for, in their ignorance of the divine righteousness, and in their eagerness to set up a righteousness of their own, they refused to accept with submission the divine righteousness.

ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν δικαιοσύνην ζητοῦντες στῆσαι τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν.

4 For Christ has brought Law to an end, so that righteousness may be obtained by everyone who believes in him.

Τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.

5 For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, those who practice it will find life through it.

Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν (αὐτοῖς. *NK(O)*)

6 But the righteousness which results from faith finds expression in these words: ‘Do not say to yourself “Who will go up into heaven?”’ (which means to bring Christ down)

Ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει· μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν·

7 ‘or “Who will go down into the depths below?”’ (which means to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)

ἢ τίς καταβήσεται εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον; τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναγαγεῖν. (Abyssos g12)

8 No, but what does it say? ‘The message is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (which means ‘The message of faith’ which we proclaim).

ἀλλὰ τί λέγει; ἐγγύς σου τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν ἐν τῷ στόματί σου καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τῆς πίστεως ὃ κηρύσσομεν·

9 For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

ὅτι ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς (τὸ ῥῆμα *O*) ἐν τῷ στόματί σου (ὅτι *o*) (κύριον Ἰησοῦν *NK(o)*) καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ·

10 For with their hearts people believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their profession of faith and so find salvation.

καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν.

11 As the passage of scripture says – ‘No one who believes in him will have any cause for shame.’

Λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή· πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.

12 For no distinction is made between the Jew and the Greek, for all have the same Lord, and he is bountiful to all who invoke him.

οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος· ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν.

13 For everyone who invokes the name of the Lord will be saved.

πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.

14 But how, it may be asked, are they to invoke one in whom they have not learned to believe? And how are they to believe in one whose words they have not heard? And how are they to hear his words unless someone proclaims him?

Πῶς οὖν (ἐπικαλέσωνται *N(k)O*) εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; πῶς δὲ (πιστεύσωσιν *N(k)O*) οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; πῶς δὲ (ἀκούσωσιν *N(k)O*) χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;

15 And how is anyone to proclaim him unless they are sent as his messengers? As scripture says – ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’

πῶς δὲ (κηρύξωσιν *N(k)O*) ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; (καθὼς *NK(o)*) γέγραπται· ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων (εἰρήνην τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων *K*) τὰ ἀγαθά.

16 Still, it may be said, everyone did not give heed to the good news. No, for Isaiah asks – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching?’

ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ· Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει· κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;

17 And so we gather, faith is a result of teaching, and the teaching comes in the message of Christ.

ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος (Χριστοῦ. *N(K)O*)

18 But I ask ‘Is it possible that people have never heard?’ No, indeed, for – ‘Their voices spread through all the earth, and their message 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 But again I ask ‘Did not the people of Israel understand?’ First there is Moses, who says – ‘I, the Lord, will stir you to rivalry with a nation which is no nation; against an undiscerning nation I will arouse your anger.’

ἀλλὰ λέγω· μὴ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει· ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπ᾽ οὐκ ἔθνει ἐπ᾽ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.

20 And Isaiah says boldly – ‘I was found by those who were not seeking me; I made myself known to those who were not inquiring of me.’

Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει· εὑρέθην (ἐν *no*) τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην (ἐν *o*) τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.

21 But of the people of Israel he says – ‘All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who disobey and contradict.’

πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει· ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.
