Romans

1弟兄们，我心里所愿的，向 神所求的，是要以色列人得救。

2我可以证明，他们向 神有热心，但不是按着真知识；

3因为不知道 神的义，想要立自己的义，就不服 神的义了。

4律法的总结就是基督，使凡信他的都得着义。

求告主名的必要得救

5摩西写着说：「人若行那出于律法的义，就必因此活着。」

6惟有出于信心的义如此说：「你不要心里说：谁要升到天上去呢？（就是要领下基督来；）

7谁要下到阴间去呢？（就是要领基督从死里上来。）」

8他到底怎么说呢？他说：这道离你不远， 正在你口里，在你心里—（就是我们所传信主的道。）

9你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信 神叫他从死里复活，就必得救。

10因为，人心里相信就可以称义，口里承认就可以得救。

11经上说：「凡信他的人必不至于羞愧。」

12犹太人和希腊人并没有分别，因为众人同有一位主；他也厚待一切求告他的人。

13因为「凡求告主名的就必得救」。

14然而，人未曾信他，怎能求他呢？未曾听见他，怎能信他呢？没有传道的，怎能听见呢？

15若没有奉差遣，怎能传道呢？如经上所记：「报福音、传喜信的人，他们的脚踪何等佳美！」

16只是人没有都听从福音，因为以赛亚说：「主啊，我们所传的有谁信呢？」

17可见，信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。

18但我说，人没有听见吗？诚然听见了。他们的声音传遍天下； 他们的言语传到地极。

19我再说，以色列人不知道吗？先有摩西说：我要用那不成子民的惹动你们的愤恨； 我要用那无知的民触动你们的怒气。

20又有以赛亚放胆说：没有寻找我的，我叫他们遇见； 没有访问我的，我向他们显现。

21至于以色列人，他说：「我整天伸手招呼那悖逆顶嘴的百姓。」

1Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

2For I bear them witness, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3For they, not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

4For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth.

5For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it.

6But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

7Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

8But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

9For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

11For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded.

12For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

14How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?

15And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

16But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

17Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

18But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

19But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

21But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.
