Romans 10
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας, καὶ ἡ δέησις πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεὸν, ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἰς σωτηρίαν.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον ˚Θεοῦ ἔχουσιν, ἀλλʼ οὐ κατʼ ἐπίγνωσιν.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves 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 the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Τέλος γὰρ νόμου ˚Χριστὸς, εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου, ὅτι “Ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος, ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “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 (Abyssos g12)?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"
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, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which 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 will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from 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 resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
Καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
Λέγει γὰρ ἡ Γραφή, “Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich 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, “Whoever will call 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 have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσωνται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; Πῶς δὲ πιστεύσωσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; Πῶς δὲ ἀκούσωσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; Καθὼς γέγραπται, “Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων ἀγαθά!”
16 But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
Ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ. Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;”
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος ˚Χριστοῦ.
18 But I say, did not they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went 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 But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
Ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; Πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει, “Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς, ἐπʼ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπʼ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ, παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.”
20 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.”
Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει, “Εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.”
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
Πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει, “Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.”
