Προς Ρωμαιους 10
1 αδελφοι η μεν ευδοκια τησ εμησ καρδιασ και η δεησισ η προσ τον θεον υπερ του ισραηλ εστιν εισ σωτηριαν
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.
2 μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοισ οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for 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 being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to 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 everyone who believes.
5 μωυσησ γαρ γραφει την δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου οτι ο ποιησασ αυτα ανθρωποσ ζησεται εν αυτοισ
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will 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 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 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 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 οτι εαν ομολογησησ εν τω στοματι σου κυριον ιησουν και πιστευσησ εν τη καρδια σου οτι ο θεοσ αυτον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων σωθηση
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 καρδια γαρ πιστευεται εισ δικαιοσυνην στοματι δε ομολογειται εισ σωτηριαν
For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.
11 λεγει γαρ η γραφη πασ ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
12 ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη ιουδαιου τε και ελληνοσ ο γαρ αυτοσ κυριοσ παντων πλουτων εισ παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ αυτον
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.
13 πασ γαρ οσ αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται
For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
14 πωσ ουν επικαλεσονται εισ ον ουκ επιστευσαν πωσ δε πιστευσουσιν ου ουκ ηκουσαν πωσ δε ακουσουσιν χωρισ κηρυσσοντοσ
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 πωσ δε κηρυξουσιν εαν μη αποσταλωσιν καθωσ γεγραπται ωσ ωραιοι οι ποδεσ των ευαγγελιζομενων ειρηνην των ευαγγελιζομενων τα αγαθα
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 αλλ ου παντεσ υπηκουσαν τω ευαγγελιω ησαιασ γαρ λεγει κυριε τισ επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων
But they did not all listen to the Good News. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 αρα η πιστισ εξ ακοησ η δε ακοη δια ρηματοσ θεου
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
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 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 αλλα λεγω μη ουκ εγνω ισραηλ πρωτοσ μωυσησ λεγει εγω παραζηλωσω υμασ επ ουκ εθνει επι εθνει ασυνετω παροργιω υμασ
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 ησαιασ δε αποτολμα και λεγει ευρεθην τοισ εμε μη ζητουσιν εμφανησ εγενομην τοισ εμε μη επερωτωσιν
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 προσ δε τον ισραηλ λεγει ολην την ημεραν εξεπετασα τασ χειρασ μου προσ λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα
But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
