New International Version NIV
1 Ἀδελφοί, ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ δέησις πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εἰς σωτηρίαν.
1
Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
2 μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν · ἀλλ’ οὐ κατ’ ἐπίγνωσιν,
2
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
3 ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν ·
3
Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
4 τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
4
Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει ὅτι τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ⸃ ὁ ποιήσας ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.
5
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
6 ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει · Μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου · Τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; τοῦτ’ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν ·
6
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “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.
7
“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 ἀλλὰ τί λέγει; Ἐγγύς σου τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν, ἐν τῷ στόματί σου καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τῆς πίστεως ὃ κηρύσσομεν.
8
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
9 ὅτι ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς ἐν τῷ στόματί σου κύριον Ἰησοῦν, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ ·
9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is 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 ·
10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
11 λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή · Πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.
11
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
12 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος, ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων, πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν ·
12
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
13 Πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.
13
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;
14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
15 πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; καθὼς γέγραπται · Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων τὰ ἀγαθά.
15
And how can anyone 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;
16
But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
17 ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Χριστοῦ.
17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
18 Ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; μενοῦνγε · Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν.
18
But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει · Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπ’ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπ’ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.
19
Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”
20 Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει · Εὑρέθην ἐν τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.
20
And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself 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.
21
But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
