Romans 10
1 My friends, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for my people is for their salvation.
αδελφοι η μεν ευδοκια της εμης καρδιας και η δεησις προς τον θεον υπερ αυτων εις σωτηριαν
2 I can testify that they are zealous for the honour of God; but they are not guided by true insight,
μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοις οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν
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.
αγνοουντες γαρ την του θεου δικαιοσυνην και την ιδιαν {VAR2: [δικαιοσυνην] } ζητουντες στησαι τη δικαιοσυνη του θεου ουχ υπεταγησαν
4 For Christ has brought Law to an end, so that righteousness may be obtained by everyone who believes in him.
τελος γαρ νομου χριστος εις δικαιοσυνην παντι τω πιστευοντι
5 For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, those who practice it will find life through it.
μωυσης γαρ γραφει {VAR1: οτι } την δικαιοσυνην την εκ {VAR1: νομου ο ποιησας } {VAR2: [του 3588] νομου οτι ο ποιησας αυτα } ανθρωπος ζησεται εν {VAR1: αυτη } {VAR2: αυτοις }
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)
η δε εκ πιστεως δικαιοσυνη ουτως λεγει μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου τις αναβησεται εις τον ουρανον τουτ εστιν χριστον καταγαγειν
7 “or ‘Who will go down into the depths below?’” (which means to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
η τις καταβησεται εις την αβυσσον τουτ εστιν χριστον εκ νεκρων αναγαγειν (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).
αλλα τι λεγει εγγυς σου το ρημα εστιν εν τω στοματι σου και εν τη καρδια σου τουτ εστιν το ρημα της πιστεως ο κηρυσσομεν
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.
οτι εαν ομολογησης {VAR1: το ρημα } εν τω στοματι σου {VAR1: οτι κυριος ιησους } {VAR2: κυριον ιησουν } και πιστευσης εν τη καρδια σου οτι ο θεος αυτον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων σωθηση
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.
καρδια γαρ πιστευεται εις δικαιοσυνην στοματι δε ομολογειται εις σωτηριαν
11 As the passage of scripture says – “No one who believes in him will have any cause for shame.”
λεγει γαρ η γραφη πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
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.
ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη ιουδαιου τε και ελληνος ο γαρ αυτος κυριος παντων πλουτων εις παντας τους επικαλουμενους αυτον
13 For everyone who invokes the name of the Lord will be saved.
πας γαρ ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται
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?
πως ουν επικαλεσωνται εις ον ουκ επιστευσαν πως δε πιστευσωσιν ου ουκ ηκουσαν πως δε ακουσωσιν χωρις κηρυσσοντος
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!”
πως δε κηρυξωσιν εαν μη αποσταλωσιν {VAR1: καθαπερ } {VAR2: καθως } γεγραπται ως ωραιοι οι ποδες των ευαγγελιζομενων {VAR2: [τα] } αγαθα
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?”
αλλ ου παντες υπηκουσαν τω ευαγγελιω ησαιας γαρ λεγει κυριε τις επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων
17 And so we gather, faith is a result of teaching, and the teaching comes in the message of Christ.
αρα η πιστις εξ ακοης η δε ακοη δια ρηματος χριστου
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.”
αλλα λεγω μη ουκ ηκουσαν μενουνγε εις πασαν την γην εξηλθεν ο φθογγος αυτων και εις τα περατα της οικουμενης τα ρηματα αυτων
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.”
αλλα λεγω μη ισραηλ ουκ εγνω πρωτος μωυσης λεγει εγω παραζηλωσω υμας επ ουκ εθνει επ εθνει ασυνετω παροργιω υμας
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.”
ησαιας δε αποτολμα και λεγει ευρεθην {VAR2: [εν] } τοις εμε μη ζητουσιν εμφανης εγενομην τοις εμε μη επερωτωσιν
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.”
προς δε τον ισραηλ λεγει ολην την ημεραν εξεπετασα τας χειρας μου προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα
