罗马书 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
10 弟兄姊妹，我心里切望并向上帝祈求的，就是以色列人能够得救。 2 我可以证明，他们对上帝有热心，但不是基于真知。 3 他们不知道上帝所赐的义，想努力建立自己的义，不肯服从上帝的义。 4 其实基督是律法的终极目的，使所有信靠祂的人都可以得到义。
求告主名的都必得救
5 关于律法的义，摩西写道：“人若遵行律法的诫命，就必活着。” 6 但是论到以信心为基础的义，圣经上说：“不要心里说，‘谁要升到天上去呢？’意思是谁要把基督领下来， 7 或说，‘谁要下到阴间去呢？’意思是谁要把基督从死人中领上来。” 8 其实这里是说：“这道近在咫尺，就在你口里，在你心中。”这道就是我们所传的信主之道。 9 你若口里承认耶稣是主，心里相信上帝使祂从死里复活，就必得救。 10 因为人心里相信，就可以被称为义人，口里承认，就可以得救。 11 正如圣经上说：“信靠祂的人必不致蒙羞。” 12 犹太人和希腊人并没有分别，因为主是所有人的主，祂厚待所有求告祂的人， 13 因为“凡求告主名的都必得救。”
14 可是，人还没信祂，怎能求告祂呢？还没听说过祂，怎能信祂呢？没有人传道，怎能听说过祂呢？ 15 人没有受差遣，怎能传道呢？正如圣经上说：“那传福音之人的脚踪是何等佳美！” 16 只是并非人人都信福音，就像以赛亚先知所说的：“主啊！谁相信我们所传的呢？”
17 由此可见，听了道，才会信道；有了基督的话，才有道可听。 18 但我要问，以色列人没有听过吗？当然听过。因为
“他们的声音传遍天下，
他们的话语传到地极。”
19 我再问，难道以色列人不知道吗？首先，摩西说：
“我要借无名之民挑起你们的嫉妒，
用愚昧的国民激起你们的怒气。”
20 后来，以赛亚先知又放胆地说：
“我让没有寻找我的人寻见，
我向没有求问我的人显现。”
21 至于以色列人，他说：
“我整天伸出双手招呼那悖逆顽固的百姓。”
Romans 10
Contemporary English Version
10 Dear friends, my greatest wish and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know they love God, but they don't understand 3 what makes people acceptable to him. So they refuse to trust God, and they try to be acceptable by obeying the Law. 4 But Christ makes the Law no longer necessary[a] for those who become acceptable to God by faith.
Anyone Can Be Saved
5 (A) Moses said a person could become acceptable to God by obeying the Law. He did this when he wrote, “If you want to live, you must do all the Law commands.”
6 (B) But people whose faith makes them acceptable to God will never ask, “Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?” 7 Neither will they ask, “Who will go down into the world of the dead to raise him to life?”
8 All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, “The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.” And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.
11 (C) The Scriptures say no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12 no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to everyone who asks for his help. 13 (D) All who call out to the Lord will be saved.
14 How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them? 15 (E) And how can anyone tell them without being sent by the Lord? The Scriptures say it is a beautiful sight to see even the feet of someone coming to preach the good news. 16 (F) Yet not everyone has believed the message. For example, the prophet Isaiah asked, “Lord, has anyone believed what we said?”
17 No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. 18 (G) But am I saying that the people of Israel did not hear? No, I am not! The Scriptures say,
“The message was told
everywhere on earth.
It was announced
all over the world.”
19 (H) Did the people of Israel understand or not? Moses answered this question when he told that the Lord had said,
“I will make Israel jealous
of people
who are a nation
of nobodies.
I will make them angry
with people
who don't understand
a thing.”
20 (I) Isaiah was fearless enough to tell that the Lord had said,
“I was found by people
who were not looking
for me.
I appeared to the ones
who were not asking
about me.”
21 (J) And Isaiah said about the people of Israel,
“All day long the Lord
has reached out
to people who are stubborn
and refuse to obey.”
