Romans 10 — SBL Greek New Testament

Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ δέησις πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἰς σωτηρίαν.

Brothers, my desire and prayer to God for them is for salvation.

μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν· ἀλλ' οὐ κατ' ἐπίγνωσιν,

For I testify to them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge,

ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν·

For they were ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

4

τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.

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

5

Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει ὅτι τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὁ ποιήσας ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.

For Moses writes that the person who does the righteousness from the law will live by it.

6

But the righteousness from faith says this: Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into heaven?—that is, to bring Christ down—

7

ἤ· Τίς καταβήσεται εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον; τοῦτ' ἔστιν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναγαγεῖν.

Or who will descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up Christ from the dead.

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 proclaim.

9

Because if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10

καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν·

For with the heart one believes into righteousness, but with the mouth one confesses into salvation.

11

λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή· Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ' αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.

For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.

12

οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος, ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων, πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν·

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, richly blessing all who call on him.

13

Πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.

For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

14

Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσωνται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; πῶς δὲ πιστεύσωσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; πῶς δὲ ἀκούσωσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;

How then will they call on the one in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?

15

πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; καθὼς γέγραπται· Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων τὰ ἀγαθά.

But how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.

16

ἀλλ' οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ· Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει· Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;

But not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?

17

ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Χριστοῦ.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

18

But I say, did they not hear? Certainly they did: Their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.

19

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

20

Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει· Εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.

But Isaiah boldly says, I was found by those who did not seek me; I became manifest to those who did not ask for me.

21

πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει· Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.

But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.
