New Testament

Romans 10

1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

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

2For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοις οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν, αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν.

3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

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

4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

τελος γαρ νομου χριστος εις δικαιοσυνην παντι τω πιστευοντι.

5For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, 'The man who does those things shall live by them.'

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

6But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, 'Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' ' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

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

7or, ' 'Who will descend into the abyss?' ' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

η τις καταβησεται εις την αβυσσον; τουτ εστιν χριστον εκ νεκρων αναγαγειν.

8But 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):

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.

9that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

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

10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

καρδια γαρ πιστευεται εις δικαιοσυνην, στοματι δε ομολογειται εις σωτηριαν.

11For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.'

λεγει γαρ η γραφη· πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται.

12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

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

13For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.'

πας γαρ ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται.

14How 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?

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

15And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!'

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

16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, 'LORD, who has believed our report?'

αλλ ου παντες υπηκουσαν τω ευαγγελιω· ησαιας γαρ λεγει· κυριε, τις επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων;

17So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

αρα η πιστις εξ ακοης, η δε ακοη δια ρηματος θεου.

18But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: 'Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words 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.

19But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: 'I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.'

αλλα λεγω, μη ουκ εγνω ισραηλ; πρωτος μωυσης λεγει· εγω παραζηλωσω υμας επ ουκ εθνει, επι εθνει ασυνετω παροργιω υμας.

20But Isaiah is very bold and says: 'I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.'

ησαιας δε αποτολμα και λεγει· ευρεθην τοις εμε μη ζητουσιν, εμφανης εγενομην τοις εμε μη επερωτωσιν.

21But to Israel he says: 'All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.'

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