Israel Needs the Gospel

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [a]Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness (A)that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of (B)God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own (C)righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For (D)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, (E)“The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, (F)“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, (G)“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? (H)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that (I)if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, (J)“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For (K)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for (L)the same Lord over all (M)is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For (N)“whoever calls (O)on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Israel Rejects the Gospel

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear (P)without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

(Q)“How beautiful are the feet of those who [b]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (R)“Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

(S)“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:

(T)“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a (U)foolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says:

(V)“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But to Israel he says:

(W)“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Romani 10
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

10 Fraţilor, dorinţa inimii mele, rugăciunea mea către Dumnezeu pentru israeliţi, este ca ei să fie mântuiţi. 2 Căci pot mărturisi despre ei că au râvnă pentru Dumnezeu, însă fără a fi întemeiată pe cunoaştere. 3 Căci, întrucât n-au cunoscut dreptatea pe care o oferă Dumnezeu, au căutat să-şi stabilească o dreptate a lor înşişi şi nu s-au supus astfel dreptăţii pe care o oferă Dumnezeu. 4 Căci Cristos este sfârşitul[a] Legii, pentru ca să existe o dreptate pentru oricine crede.

Mântuirea este pentru toţi cei care cred

5 Moise scrie despre dreptatea pe care o dă Legea, astfel: „Omul care împlineşte aceste lucruri va trăi prin ele.“[b] 6 Însă dreptatea care vine prin credinţă spune aşa: „Să nu zici în inima ta: «Cine se va înălţa la cer?»“[c] – adică pentru a-L coborî pe Cristos – 7 „sau: «Cine va coborî în Adânc[d]?»“[e] – adică pentru a-L ridica pe Cristos dintre cei morţi! 8 Şi atunci, ce spune ea?

„Cuvântul este aproape de tine;
    este în gura ta şi în inima ta.“[f]

Acesta este cuvântul credinţei, cel pe care-l propovăduim. 9 Dacă deci Îl mărturiseşti cu gura ta pe Isus ca Domn[g] şi crezi în inima ta că Dumnezeu L-a înviat din morţi, vei fi mântuit. 10 Căci prin credinţa din inimă se primeşte dreptatea şi prin mărturisirea cu gura se primeşte mântuirea; 11 întrucât Scriptura spune: „Oricine crede în El nu va fi făcut de ruşine.“[h] 12 Nu este nici o deosebire între iudeu şi grec, deoarece Acelaşi Domn este Domnul tuturor şi dă cu generozitate tuturor celor ce-L cheamă, 13 fiindcă „oricine va chema Numele Domnului va fi mântuit!“[i]

14 Aşadar, cum Îl vor chema pe Cel în Care n-au crezut? Şi cum vor crede în Cel despre Care n-au auzit? Şi cum vor auzi, fără ca cineva să le predice? 15 Şi cum să predice, dacă nu sunt trimişi? Aşa cum este scris: „Cât de frumoase sunt picioarele celor ce aduc veşti bune!“[j] 16 Însă nu toţi au acceptat veştile bune[k], pentru că Isaia spune: „Doamne, cine a crezut mesajul nostru?“[l] 17 Astfel, credinţa vine prin auzire, iar auzirea vine prin Cuvântul lui Cristos. 18 Însă eu întreb: n-au auzit ei? Ba da! Căci:

„Glasul lor a străbătut întreg pământul
    şi cuvintele lor au ajuns până la marginile lumii.“[m]

19 Însă eu întreb: oare n-a înţeles Israel? Mai întâi, Moise spune:

„Eu vă voi provoca la gelozie prin ceea ce nu este un neam;
    vă voi mânia printr-un neam fără pricepere.“[n]

20 Iar Isaia este atât de îndrăzneţ, încât spune:

„Am fost găsit de cei ce nu Mă căutau;
    M-am făcut cunoscut celor ce nu întrebau de Mine.“[o]

21 Însă, despre Israel, spune:

„Toată ziua Mi-am întins mâinile
    către un popor neascultător şi împotrivitor.“[p]

Romans 10
New English Translation

10 Brothers and sisters,[a] my heart’s desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites[b] is for their salvation. 2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God,[c] but their zeal is not in line with the truth.[d] 3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.”[e] 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart,[f] ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[g] (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 or “Who will descend into the abyss?”[h] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”[i] (that is, the word of faith that we preach), 9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord[j] and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness[k] and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.[l] 11 For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”[m] 12 For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.[n]

14 How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?[o] 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely[p] is the arrival[q] of those who proclaim the good news.”[r] 16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”[s] 17 Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word[t] of Christ.[u]

18 But I ask, have they[v] not heard?[w] Yes, they have:[x] Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.[y] 19 But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand?[z] First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”[aa] 20 And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me.”[ab] 21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!”[ac]

Although the Nestle-Aland apparatus includes P46vid for this reading, more recent photographs by CSNTM reveal it to be κυρίου (“Lord”), a singular reading. External evidence strongly favors the reading “Christ” here. Internal evidence is also on its side, for the expression ῥῆμα Χριστοῦ (rhēma Christou) occurs nowhere else in the NT; thus scribes would be prone to change it to a known expression.tn The genitive could be understood as either subjective (“Christ does the speaking”) or objective (“Christ is spoken about”), but the latter is more likely here.
  22. Romans 10:18 tn That is, Israel (see the following verse).
  23. Romans 10:18 tn Grk “they have not ‘not heard,’ have they?” This question is difficult to render in English. The basic question is a negative sentence (“Have they not heard?”), but it is preceded by the particle μή (mē) which expects a negative response. The end result in English is a double negative (“They have not ‘not heard,’ have they?”). This has been changed to a positive question in the translation for clarity. See BDAG 646 s.v. μή 3.a.; D. Moo, Romans (NICNT), 666, fn. 32; and C. E. B. Cranfield, Romans (ICC), 537, for discussion.
  24. Romans 10:18 tn Here the particle μενοῦνγε (menounge) is correcting the negative response expected by the particle μή (mē) in the preceding question. Since the question has been translated positively, the translation was changed here to reflect that rendering.

Redding door geloof in God, ook voor het Joodse volk

10 Vrienden, het verlangen van mijn hart en mijn gebed tot God is dat het Joodse volk gered mag worden. 2 Ik weet dat zij met veel toewijding God dienen, maar zij missen het juiste inzicht. 3 Zij begrijpen niet dat Christus gestorven is om het tussen God en hen goed te maken. In plaats daarvan proberen zij door goed te leven Gods gunst te winnen en voegen ze zich niet naar de manier waarop God dat zou willen. 4 Want nu Christus er is, hoeft niemand meer zijn best te doen om volgens de wet van Mozes rechtvaardig te worden. Iedereen die op Christus vertrouwt, wordt rechtvaardig. 5 Volgens Mozes is het zo: ‘Als u de wet gehoorzaamt, zult u leven.’ 6 Maar met de rechtvaardigheid die uit het vertrouwen op Christus voortkomt, is het heel anders, zoals geschreven staat: ‘Zeg niet: wie stijgt op naar de hemel,’ dat wil zeggen: om Christus te laten afdalen. 7 En ook: ‘Wie daalt af naar de onderwereld,’ dat wil zeggen: om Christus uit de dood tot leven te brengen.

8 Maar Mozes zegt ook: ‘Wat u zoekt, is vlakbij, in uw hart en op uw lippen,’ dat wil zeggen: de boodschap dat U op Christus moet vertrouwen, vertellen wij hier en overal. 9 Want als u zegt dat Jezus Christus uw Heer is en als u met heel uw hart gelooft dat God Hem uit de dood heeft opgewekt, zult u gered worden. 10 Door met heel uw hart op Christus te vertrouwen, wordt u rechtvaardig verklaard. En door daarvoor uit te komen, wordt u gered. 11 Zo staat het ook in de Boeken: ‘Wie op Hem vertrouwt, zal niet teleurgesteld worden.’ 12 En het maakt geen verschil of u Jood bent of niet. God is Heer over allen. Hij geeft zijn rijkdom aan alle mensen die een beroep op Hem doen. 13 Want er staat ook: ‘Ieder die de naam van de Here aanroept, zal gered worden.’ 14 Maar als zij niet in Hem geloven, hoe kunnen zij Hem dan aanroepen? En als zij nooit van Hem gehoord hebben, hoe kunnen zij dan in Hem geloven? Als niemand hun over Hem vertelt, hoe kunnen zij het dan horen? 15 Wie zal het hun vertellen, als hij niet gestuurd is? Daarover staat in de Boeken: ‘Wat heerlijk klinkt het geluid van de voeten van de brengers van het goede nieuws!’

16 Maar niet iedereen heeft geluisterd naar het goede nieuws van God. De profeet Jesaja zei al: ‘Here, wie gelooft wat wij vertellen?’ 17 Dus alleen door te luisteren naar wat Christus gezegd heeft, kunt u in Hem gaan geloven. 18 Maar hebben de Israëlieten het dan niet gehoord? Jawel! Want er staat geschreven: ‘Hun boodschap hoort men over de hele wereld, overal waar mensen wonen heeft het nieuws hen bereikt.’ 19 Hebben de Israëlieten het dan niet begrepen? Luister eerst eens naar Mozes die over God zei: ‘Ik zal u jaloers maken op een volk dat geen volk is, Ik maak u kwaad op een volk dat geen inzicht heeft.’ 20 Jesaja zei het nog sterker: ‘God zal worden gevonden door mensen die Hem niet zochten. Hij zal Zich bekendmaken aan mensen die geen belangstelling voor Hem hadden.’ 21 Maar wat Israël zelf betreft, zegt hij: ‘Het is een ongehoorzaam en dwars volk, waarnaar God de hele dag zijn handen uitgestrekt houdt.’

Romans 10
New International Version

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 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 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)

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 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g](V)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 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.”[i](AA)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)

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.”[k](AD)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l](AE)
