Romans 10

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.

2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

7 or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

9 that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.

11 It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then will they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach?

15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things!”

16 But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”

17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

19 I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”

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.”

21 But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

1 ¶ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down [from above:])

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 ¶ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

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 without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by [them that are] no people, [and] by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

1 Brethren, it is the desire of my heart, and I also beseech God for Israel, that they may be saved.

2 For I bear them witness, that they strive for God, but with ignorance.

3 For they know not the righteousness that is before God, and seek to establish their own righteousness, and so are not subject to the righteousness that is before God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law: he that believeth on him is justified.

5 Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the law: "Whoever does this will live in it.

6 But righteousness by faith saith thus; Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?

7 Or, Who shall go down into the deep? (This is nothing else than bringing Christ from the dead).

8 but what saith it? The word is near you, that is, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the word of faith that we preach.

9 For if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For if a man believe with his heart, he is justified; and if he confess with his mouth, he is saved.

11 For the scripture saith, He that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

12 There is no difference here between Jews and Greeks: for there is one Lord, rich above all them that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.

14 But how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 But how shall they preach, if they be not sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach peace, that preach goodness!

16 But they are not all obedient to the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who shall believe our preaching?

17 So faith comes from preaching, and preaching by the word of God.

18 But I say, Have they not heard? For the sound thereof is gone out into all lands, and the words thereof into all the world.

19 But I say, Hath not Israel known it? The first Moses saith, I will make you jealous over him that is not my people, and over a foolish people will I make you angry.

20 But Isaiah may well say thus, I am invented of them that sought me not, and am appeared unto them that asked not for me.

21 And unto Israel saith he, All day long have I stretched out my hands unto the people, which will not be told, and will not answer.
