Προς Ρωμαιους 10

1 αδελφοι η μεν ευδοκια της εμης καρδιας και η δεησις η προς τον θεον υπερ του ισραηλ εστιν εις σωτηριαν

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοις οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 αγνοουντες γαρ την του θεου δικαιοσυνην και την ιδιαν δικαιοσυνην ζητουντες στησαι τη δικαιοσυνη του θεου ουχ υπεταγησαν

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 τελος γαρ νομου χριστος εις δικαιοσυνην παντι τω πιστευοντι

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.

5 μωυσης γαρ γραφει την δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου οτι ο ποιησας αυτα ανθρωπος ζησεται εν αυτοις

For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.

6 η δε εκ πιστεως δικαιοσυνη ουτως λεγει μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου τις αναβησεται εις τον ουρανον τουτ εστιν χριστον καταγαγειν

But the righteousness which is of faith speaks likewise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above: )

7 η τις καταβησεται εις την αβυσσον τουτ εστιν χριστον εκ νεκρων αναγαγειν (Abyssos g12)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)

8 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

But what says it? The word (rhema) is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word (rhema) of faith, which we preach;

9 οτι εαν ομολογησης εν τω στοματι σου κυριον ιησουν και πιστευσης εν τη καρδια σου οτι ο θεος αυτον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων σωθηση

That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10 καρδια γαρ πιστευεται εις δικαιοσυνην στοματι δε ομολογειται εις σωτηριαν

For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 λεγει γαρ η γραφη πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται

For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

12 ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη ιουδαιου τε και ελληνος ο γαρ αυτος κυριος παντων πλουτων εις παντας τους επικαλουμενους αυτον

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 πας γαρ ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 πως ουν επικαλεσονται εις ον ουκ επιστευσαν πως δε πιστευσουσιν ου ουκ ηκουσαν πως δε ακουσουσιν χωρις κηρυσσοντος

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 πως δε κηρυξουσιν εαν μη αποσταλωσιν καθως γεγραπται ως ωραιοι οι ποδες των ευαγγελιζομενων ειρηνην των ευαγγελιζομενων τα αγαθα

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

16 αλλ ου παντες υπηκουσαν τω ευαγγελιω ησαιας γαρ λεγει κυριε τις επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

17 αρα η πιστις εξ ακοης η δε ακοη δια ρηματος θεου

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema) of God.

18 αλλα λεγω μη ουκ ηκουσαν μενουνγε εις πασαν την γην εξηλθεν ο φθογγος αυτων και εις τα περατα της οικουμενης τα ρηματα αυτων

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words (rhema) unto the ends of the world.

19 αλλα λεγω μη ουκ εγνω ισραηλ πρωτος μωυσης λεγει εγω παραζηλωσω υμας επ ουκ εθνει επι εθνει ασυνετω παροργιω υμας

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20 ησαιας δε αποτολμα και λεγει ευρεθην τοις εμε μη ζητουσιν εμφανης εγενομην τοις εμε μη επερωτωσιν

But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

21 προς δε τον ισραηλ λεγει ολην την ημεραν εξεπετασα τας χειρας μου προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα

But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
