1. Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God on their behalf is for salvation.
|
1. Brethren G80 , my G1699 heart G2588 's desire G2107 G3303 and G2532 prayer G1162 to G4314 God G2316 for G5228 Israel G2474 is G2076 , that they might be saved G1519 G4991 .
|
|
2. I testify with regard to them that they have zeal for God, but it is not discerning.
|
2. For G1063 I bear them record G3140 G846 that G3754 they have G2192 a zeal G2205 of God G2316 , but G235 not G3756 according G2596 to knowledge G1922 .
|
|
3. For, in their unawareness of the righteousness that comes from God and their attempt to establish their own (righteousness), they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
|
3. For G1063 they being ignorant G50 of God G2316 's righteousness G1343 , and G2532 going about G2212 to establish G2476 their own G2398 righteousness G1343 , have not G3756 submitted themselves G5293 unto the G3588 righteousness G1343 of God G2316 .
|
|
4. For Christ is the end of the law for the justification of everyone who has faith.
|
4. For G1063 Christ G5547 is the end G5056 of the law G3551 for G1519 righteousness G1343 to every one G3956 that believeth G4100 .
|
|
5. Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from (the) law, "The one who does these things will live by them."
|
5. For G1063 Moses G3475 describeth G1125 the G3588 righteousness G1343 which G3588 is of G1537 the G3588 law G3551 , That G3754 the G3588 man G444 which doeth G4160 those things G846 shall live G2198 by G1722 them G846 .
|
|
6. But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down)
|
6. But G1161 the G3588 righteousness G1343 which is of G1537 faith G4102 speaketh G3004 on this wise G3779 , Say G2036 not G3361 in G1722 thine G4675 heart G2588 , Who G5101 shall ascend G305 into G1519 heaven G3772 ? (that is G5123 , to bring Christ down G2609 G5547 from above :)
|
|
7. or 'Who will go down into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."
|
7. Or G2228 , Who G5101 shall descend G2597 into G1519 the G3588 deep G12 ? (that is G5123 , to bring up Christ again G321 G5547 from G1537 the dead G3498 .)
|
|
8. But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we preach),
|
8. But G235 what G5101 saith G3004 it? The G3588 word G4487 is G2076 nigh G1451 thee G4675 , even in G1722 thy G4675 mouth G4750 , and G2532 in G1722 thy G4675 heart G2588 : that is G5123 , the G3588 word G4487 of faith G4102 , which G3739 we preach G2784 ;
|
|
9. for, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
|
9. That G3754 if G1437 thou shalt confess G3670 with G1722 thy G4675 mouth G4750 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 , and G2532 shalt believe G4100 in G1722 thine G4675 heart G2588 that G3754 God G2316 hath raised G1453 him G846 from G1537 the dead G3498 , thou shalt be saved G4982 .
|
|
10. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
|
10. For G1063 with the heart G2588 man believeth G4100 unto G1519 righteousness G1343 ; and G1161 with the mouth G4750 confession is made G3670 unto G1519 salvation G4991 .
|
|
11. For the scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."
|
11. For G1063 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 , Whosoever G3956 believeth G4100 on G1909 him G846 shall not G3756 be ashamed G2617 .
|
|
12. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching all who call upon him.
|
12. For G1063 there is G2076 no G3756 difference G1293 between G5037 the Jew G2453 and G2532 the Greek G1672 : for G1063 the G3588 same G846 Lord G2962 over all G3956 is rich G4147 unto G1519 all G3956 that call upon G1941 him G846 .
|
|
13. For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
|
13. For G1063 whosoever G3956 G3739 G302 shall call upon G1941 the G3588 name G3686 of the Lord G2962 shall be saved G4982 .
|
|
14. But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
|
14. How G4459 then G3767 shall they call on G1941 him in G1519 whom G3739 they have not G3756 believed G4100 ? and G1161 how G4459 shall they believe G4100 in him of whom G3739 they have not G3756 heard G191 ? and G1161 how G4459 shall they hear G191 without G5565 a preacher G2784 ?
|
|
15. And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring (the) good news!"
|
15. And G1161 how G4459 shall they preach G2784 , except G3362 they be sent G649 ? as it G2531 is written G1125 , How G5613 beautiful G5611 are the G3588 feet G4228 of them that preach the gospel G2097 of peace G1515 , and bring glad tidings G2097 of good things G18 !
|
|
16. But not everyone has heeded the good news; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what was heard from us?"
|
16. But G235 they have not G3756 all G3956 obeyed G5219 the G3588 gospel G2098 . For G1063 Isaiah G2268 saith G3004 , Lord G2962 , who G5101 hath believed G4100 our G2257 report G189 ?
|
|
17. Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
|
17. So then G686 faith G4102 cometh by G1537 hearing G189 , and G1161 hearing G189 by G1223 the word G4487 of God G2316 .
|
|
18. But I ask, did they not hear? Certainly they did; for "Their voice has gone forth to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
|
18. But G235 I say G3004 , Have they not G3378 heard G191 ? Yes verily G3304 , their G848 sound G5353 went G1831 into G1519 all G3956 the G3588 earth G1093 , and G2532 their G848 words G4487 unto G1519 the G3588 ends G4009 of the G3588 world G3625 .
|
|
19. But I ask, did not Israel understand? First Moses says: "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will make you angry."
|
19. But G235 I say G3004 , Did not G3378 Israel G2474 know G1097 ? First G4413 Moses G3475 saith G3004 , I G1473 will provoke you to jealousy G3863 G5209 by G1909 them that are no G3756 people G1484 , and by G1909 a foolish G801 nation G1484 I will anger G3949 you G5209 .
|
|
20. Then Isaiah speaks boldly and says: "I was found (by) those who were not seeking me; I revealed myself to those who were not asking for me."
|
20. But G1161 Isaiah G2268 is very bold G662 , and G2532 saith G3004 , I was found G2147 of them that sought G2212 me G1691 not G3361 ; I was made G1096 manifest G1717 unto them that asked not after G1905 G3361 me G1691 .
|
|
21. But regarding Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contentious people."
|
21. But G1161 to G4314 Israel G2474 he saith G3004 , All G3650 day G2250 long I have stretched forth G1600 my G3450 hands G5495 unto G4314 a disobedient G544 and G2532 gainsaying G483 people G2992 .
