¹弟兄们，我心里切切盼望的，并且为以色列人向　神祈求的，是要他们得救。

¹Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;

²我可以为他们作证，他们对　神有热心，但不是按着真见识；

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

³他们既然不明白　神的义，而又企图建立自己的义，就不服　神的义了。

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

⁴因为律法的终极就是基督，使所有信的人都得着义。

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

⁵求告主名的都必得救论到出于律法的义，摩西写着说：“遵行这些事的人就必因这些事而活。”

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

⁶但那出于信心的义却这样说：“你心里不要说：‘谁要升到天上去呢？’（就是要把基督领下来，）

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?

⁷或是说：‘谁要下到深渊去呢？’（就是要把基督从死人中领上来。）”

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

⁸然而那出于信心的义还说什么呢？”这话与你相近，在你口里，也在你心里。”这话就是我们所传信心的信息。

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;

⁹你若口里认耶稣为主，心里信　神使他从死人中复活，就必得救；

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,

¹⁰因为心里相信就必称义，用口承认就必得救。

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

¹¹经上说：“所有信靠他的人，必不致失望。”

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

¹²其实并不分犹太人和希腊人，因为大家同有一位主；他厚待所有求告他的人，

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

¹³因为“凡求告主名的，都必得救。”

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

¹⁴然而，人还没有信他，怎能求告他呢？没有听见他，怎能信他呢？没有人传扬，怎能听见呢？

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?

¹⁵如果没有蒙差遣，怎能传扬呢？如经上所记：“那些传美事报喜讯的人，他们的脚踪多么美！”

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!`

¹⁶但并不是所有的人都顺从福音，因为以赛亚说：“主啊，我们所传的，有谁信呢？”

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

¹⁷可见信心是从所听的道来的，所听的道是借着基督的话来的。

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

¹⁸但是我要说，他们没有听见吗？他们的确听见了，如经上所记：“他们的声音传遍全地，他们的言语传到地极。”

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.`

¹⁹我再说：以色列人真的不明白吗？首先，摩西说：“我要使你们对那不是子民的生嫉妒，对那无知的民族起忿怒。”

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,`

²⁰后来，以赛亚也放胆地说：“没有寻找我的，我让他们找到；没有求问我的，我向他们显现。”

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

²¹论到以色列人，他却说：“我整天向那悖逆顶嘴的子民伸开双手。”

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