| 1 Αδελφοι, η επιθυμια της καρδιας μου και η δεησις η προς τον Θεον υπερ του Ισραηλ ειναι δια την σωτηριαν αυτων? | 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. |
| 2 διοτι μαρτυρω περι αυτων οτι εχουσι ζηλον Θεου, αλλ' ουχι κατ' επιγνωσιν. | 2 I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. |
| 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 righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. |
| 4 Επειδη το τελος του νομου ειναι ο Χριστος προς δικαιοσυνην εις παντα τον πιστευοντα. | 4 For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified. |
| 5 Διοτι ο Μωυσης γραφει την δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου, λεγων οτι ο ανθρωπος ο καμνων ταυτα θελει ζησει δι' αυτων? | 5 Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law shall live by it. |
| 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 righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart, "Who will 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 will descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up 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 it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach); |
| 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 because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
| 10 διοτι με την καρδιαν πιστευει τις προς δικαιοσυνην, και με το στομα γινεται ομολογια προς σωτηριαν. | 10 For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved. |
| 11 Διοτι λεγει η γραφη? Πας ο πιστευων επ' αυτον δεν θελει καταισχυνθη. | 11 The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame." |
| 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; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. |
| 13 διοτι Πας οστις επικαλεσθη το ονομα του Κυριου θελει σωθη. | 13 For, "every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will 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 But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? |
| 15 Και πως θελουσι κηρυξει, εαν δεν αποσταλωσι; Καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ποσον ωραιοι οι ποδες των ευαγγελιζομενων ειρηνην, των ευαγγελιζομενων τα αγαθα. | 15 And how can men preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!" |
| 16 Αλλα δεν υπηκουσαν παντες εις το ευαγγελιον. Διοτι ο Ησαιας λεγει? Κυριε, τις επιστευσεν εις το κηρυγμα ημων; | 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" |
| 17 Αρα η πιστις ειναι εξ ακοης, η δε ακοη δια του λογου του Θεου. | 17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching 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 ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the 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 Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry." |
| 20 Ο δε Ησαιας αποτολμα και λεγει? Ευρεθην παρα των μη ζητουντων με, εφανερωθην εις τους μη ερωτωντας περι εμου. | 20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me." |
| 21 Προς δε τον Ισραηλ λεγει? Ολην την ημεραν εξετεινα τας χειρας μου προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα. | 21 But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people." |
