Προς Ρωμαιους 10
1 Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας, καὶ ἡ δέησις πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἰς σωτηρίαν.
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
2 Μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον ˚Θεοῦ ἔχουσιν, ἀλλʼ οὐ κατʼ ἐπίγνωσιν.
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν.
For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Τέλος γὰρ νόμου ˚Χριστὸς, εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου, ὅτι “Ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος, ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.”
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will 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 says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);
or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Christ up 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 does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;
9 Ὅτι ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς ἐν τῷ στόματί σου, “˚Κύριον ˚Ἰησοῦν”, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ ˚Θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ.
because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν.
For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
11 Λέγει γὰρ ἡ Γραφή, “Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.”
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will 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 distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
13 “Πᾶς” γὰρ “ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα ˚Κυρίου, σωθήσεται.”
For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
14 Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσωνται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; Πῶς δὲ πιστεύσωσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; Πῶς δὲ ἀκούσωσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?
15 Πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; Καθὼς γέγραπται, “Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων ἀγαθά!”
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."
16 Ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ. Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;”
But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 Ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος ˚Χριστοῦ.
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
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 ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts 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 ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."
20 Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει, “Εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.”
Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."
21 Πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει, “Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.”
But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
