< Προς Ρωμαιους 10 >

1 Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ ⸀δέησιςπρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ ⸀αὐτῶνεἰς σωτηρίαν.
Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved.
2 μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν· ἀλλʼ οὐ κατʼ ἐπίγνωσιν,
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ⸀ἰδίανζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν·
For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.
4 τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
For Christ is the end of the Law, so that every one that believeth may obtain righteousness.
5 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει ⸂ὅτι τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ ⸀τοῦ νόμου ὁ ⸀ποιήσας ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν ⸀αὐτῇ.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law: “The man that hath done these things shall live by them.”
6 ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει· Μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου· Τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; τοῦτʼ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν·
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, “Who shall ascend into heaven?” that is, to bring Christ down.
7 ἤ· Τίς καταβήσεται εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον; τοῦτʼ ἔστιν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναγαγεῖν. (Abyssos g12)
Or, “Who shall descend into the abyss?” that is, to bring up Christ from the dead. (Abyssos g12)
8 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.
But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart;” that is, the word concerning faith, which we preach;
9 ὅτι ἐὰν ⸀ὁμολογήσῃςἐν τῷ στόματί ⸀σουκύριον Ἰησοῦν, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ·
for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν·
For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.
11 λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή· Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.
For the Scripture saith, “Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame.”
12 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος, ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων, πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν·
For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.
13 Πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.
For “every one who calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
14 Πῶς οὖν ⸀ἐπικαλέσωνταιεἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; πῶς δὲ ⸀πιστεύσωσινοὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; πῶς δὲ ⸀ἀκούσωσινχωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 πῶς δὲ ⸀κηρύξωσινἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; ⸀καθὼςγέγραπται· Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν ⸀εὐαγγελιζομένων⸀τὰἀγαθά.
and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ· Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει· Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;
But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed what he hath heard from us?”
17 ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος ⸀Χριστοῦ
Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; μενοῦνγε· Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν.
But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, “Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
19 ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ ⸂Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει· Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπʼ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπʼ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.
But I say, Hath not Israel had knowledge? First, Moses saith, “I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation, I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people.”
20 Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει· Εὑρέθην ⸀ἐντοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ⸀ἐγενόμηντοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.
But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I was found by those who sought me not, I became known to those who inquired not for me.”
21 πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει· Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.
But concerning Israel he saith, “All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.”
