GR μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν, ἀλλ’ οὐ κατ’ ἐπίγνωσιν:
LA Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod æmulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.
EN For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
^2
3
GR ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ζητοῦντες στῆσαι, τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν:
LA Ignorantes enim justitiam Dei, et suam quærentes statuere, justitiæ Dei non sunt subjecti.
EN For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

GR τέλος γὰρ νόμου Χριστὸς εἰς δικαιοσύνην παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι.
LA Finis enim legis, Christus, ad justitiam omni credenti.
EN For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believes.
^4
[!note]- The justice of God…
That is, the justice which God gives us through Christ; as on the other hand, the Jews’ own justice is, that which they pretended to by their own strength, or by the observance of the law, without faith in Christ.
5
GR Μωϋσῆς γὰρ γράφει ὅτι τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ νόμου ὁ ποιήσας ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.
LA Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam justitiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.
EN For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it.
^5
6
GR ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει, μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; τοῦτ’ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν:
LA Quæ autem ex fide est justitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: Quis ascendet in cælum? id est, Christum deducere:
EN But the justice which is of faith, speaks thus: Say not in your heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down;
^6
7
GR ἤ, τίς καταβήσεται εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον; τοῦτ’ ἔστιν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναγαγεῖν.
LA aut, Quis descendet in abyssum? hoc est, Christum a mortuis revocare.
EN or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.
^7
8
GR ἀλλὰ τί λέγει; ἐγγύς σου τὸ ῥῆμά ἐστιν, ἐν τῷ στόματί σου καὶ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου: τοῦτ’ ἔστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τῆς πίστεως ὃ κηρύσσομεν.
LA Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod prædicamus.
EN But what says the scripture? The word is near you; even in your mouth and in your heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.
^8
9
GR ὅτι ἐὰν ὁμολογήσῃς τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ὅτι ΚΥΡΙΟ{J} ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, καὶ πιστεύσῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ὅτι ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, σωθήσῃ:
LA Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Jesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.
EN* For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
^9
10
GR καρδίᾳ γὰρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, στόματι δὲ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν.
LA Corde enim creditur ad justitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.
EN For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
^10
11
GR λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφή, πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.
LA Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur.
EN For the scripture says: Whosoever believes in him shall not be confounded.
^11
12
GR οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολὴ Ἰουδαίου τε καὶ Ἕλληνος, ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος πάντων, πλουτῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους αὐτόν:
LA Non enim est distinctio Judæi et Græci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes qui invocant illum.
EN For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.
^12
13
GR πᾶς γὰρ ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται.
LA Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.
EN For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
^13
[!note]- Thou shalt be saved…
To confess the Lord Jesus, and to call upon the name of the Lord (verse 13) is not barely the professing a belief in the person of Christ; but moreover, implies a belief of his whole doctrine, and an obedience to his law; without which, the calling him Lord will save no man. St. Matt. 7.21.
14
GR πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσωνται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν; πῶς δὲ πιστεύσωσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; πῶς δὲ ἀκούσωσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος;
LA Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? quomodo autem audient sine prædicante?
EN How 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?
^14
15
GR πῶς δὲ κηρύξωσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν; καθάπερ γέγραπται, ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων ἀγαθά.
LA quomodo vero prædicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!
EN And 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?
^15
[!note]- Unless they be sent…
Here is an evident proof against all new teachers, who have all usurped to themselves the ministry without any lawful mission, derived by succession from the apostles, to whom Christ said [John 20:21] As my Father hath sent me, I also send you.
16
GR ἀλλ’ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ: Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει, κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν;
LA Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro?
EN But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaiah says: Lord, who has believed our report?
^16
17
GR ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Χριστοῦ.
LA Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.
EN Faith then comes by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.
^17
18
GR ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν; μενοῦνγε, εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν.
LA Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eorum.
EN But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily: Their sound has gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the whole world.
^18
19
GR ἀλλὰ λέγω, μὴ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔγνω; πρῶτος Μωϋσῆς λέγει, ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπ’ οὐκ ἔθνει, ἐπ’ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς.
LA Sed dico: Numquid Israël non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad æmulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.
EN But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses says: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you.
^19
20
GR Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει, εὑρέθην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν, ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν.
LA Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quærentibus me: palam apparui iis qui me non interrogabant.
EN But Isaiah is bold, and says: I was found by them that did not seek me. I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.
^20
21
GR πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα.
LA Ad Israël autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem.
EN But to Israel he says: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believes not and contradicts me.
