Lettera ai Romani - Romans 10

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Αδελφοι, η επιθυμια της καρδιας μου και η δεησις η προς τον Θεον υπερ του Ισραηλ ειναι δια την σωτηριαν αυτων?	1 Brothers, certainly the will of my heart, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.
2 διοτι μαρτυρω περι αυτων οτι εχουσι ζηλον Θεου, αλλ' ουχι κατ' επιγνωσιν.	2 For I offer testimony to them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Επειδη μη γνωριζοντες την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου, και ζητουντες να συστησωσι την ιδιαν αυτων δικαιοσυνην, δεν υπεταχθησαν εις την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου.	3 For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not subjected themselves to the justice of God.
4 Επειδη το τελος του νομου ειναι ο Χριστος προς δικαιοσυνην εις παντα τον πιστευοντα.	4 For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.
5 Διοτι ο Μωυσης γραφει την δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου, λεγων οτι ο ανθρωπος ο καμνων ταυτα θελει ζησει δι' αυτων?	5 And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.
6 η εκ πιστεως ομως δικαιοσυνη λεγει ουτω? Μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου, Τις θελει αναβη εις τον ουρανον; τουτεστι δια να καταβιβαση τον Χριστον.	6 But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 η, Τις θελει καταβη εις την αβυσσον; τουτεστι δια να αναβιβαση τον Χριστον εκ νεκρων.	7 “Or who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to call back Christ from the dead).
8 Αλλα τι λεγει; Πλησιον σου ειναι ο λογος, εν τω στοματι σου και εν τη καρδια σου? τουτεστιν ο λογος της πιστεως, τον οποιον κηρυττομεν.	8 But what does Scripture say? “The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.
9 Οτι εαν ομολογησης δια του στοματος σου τον Κυριον Ιησουν, και πιστευσης εν τη καρδια σου οτι ο Θεος ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων, θελεις σωθη?	9 For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 διοτι με την καρδιαν πιστευει τις προς δικαιοσυνην, και με το στομα γινεται ομολογια προς σωτηριαν.	10 For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.
11 Διοτι λεγει η γραφη? Πας ο πιστευων επ' αυτον δεν θελει καταισχυνθη.	11 For Scripture says: “All those who believe in him shall not be confounded.”
12 Επειδη δεν ειναι διαφορα Ιουδαιου τε και Ελληνος? διοτι ο αυτος Κυριος ειναι παντων, πλουσιος προς παντας τους επικαλουμενους αυτον?	12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.
13 διοτι Πας οστις επικαλεσθη το ονομα του Κυριου θελει σωθη.	13 For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 Πως λοιπον θελουσιν επικαλεσθη εκεινον, εις τον οποιον δεν επιστευσαν; και πως θελουσι πιστευσει εις εκεινον, περι του οποιου δεν ηκουσαν; και πως θελουσιν ακουσει χωρις να υπαρχη ο κηρυττων;	14 Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?
15 Και πως θελουσι κηρυξει, εαν δεν αποσταλωσι; Καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ποσον ωραιοι οι ποδες των ευαγγελιζομενων ειρηνην, των ευαγγελιζομενων τα αγαθα.	15 And truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!”
16 Αλλα δεν υπηκουσαν παντες εις το ευαγγελιον. Διοτι ο Ησαιας λεγει? Κυριε, τις επιστευσεν εις το κηρυγμα ημων;	16 But not all are obedient to the Gospel. For Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Αρα η πιστις ειναι εξ ακοης, η δε ακοη δια του λογου του Θεου.	17 Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.
18 Λεγω ομως, Μη δεν ηκουσαν; Μαλιστα εις πασαν την γην εξηλθεν ο φθογγος αυτων, Και εις τα περατα της οικουμενης οι λογοι αυτων.	18 But I say: Have they not heard? For certainly: “Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole world.”
19 Αλλα λεγω, Μη δεν εγνωρισεν ο Ισραηλ; Πρωτος ο Μωυσης λεγει? Εγω θελω σας παροξυνει εις ζηλοτυπιαν με τους μη εθνος, Θελω σας παροργισει με εθνος ασυνετον.	19 But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: “I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath.”
20 Ο δε Ησαιας αποτολμα και λεγει? Ευρεθην παρα των μη ζητουντων με, εφανερωθην εις τους μη ερωτωντας περι εμου.	20 And Isaiah dares to say: “I was discovered by those who were not seeking me. I appeared openly to those who were not asking about me.”
21 Προς δε τον Ισραηλ λεγει? Ολην την ημεραν εξετεινα τας χειρας μου προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα.	21 Then to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me.”
