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 pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;

2for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

3for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

4For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

5for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'

6and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

7or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.

8But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;

9that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

10for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

11for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

12for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,

13for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'

14How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

15and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

16But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

17so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

18but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'

19But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'

20and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'

21and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
