Romans 10

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

Brethren my hertes desyre and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.

2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

For I beare them recorde that they have a fervet mynde to God warde but not accordinge to knowledge.

3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

For they are ignoraut of the rightewesnes which is alowed before God and goo about to stablisshe their awne rightewesnes and therfore are not obedient vnto the rightewesnes which is of valew before God.

4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

For Christ is the ende of the lawe to iustifie all that beleve.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”

Moses describeth the rightewesnes which cometh of ye lawe howe that the man which doth the thinges of the lawe shall lyve therin.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);

But ye rightewesnes which cometh of fayth speaketh on this wyse. Saye not in thyne hert who shall ascende into heven? (that is nothinge els then to fetch Christ doune)

7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” (Abyssos g12)

Other who shall descende into the depe? (that is nothinge els but to fetch vp Christ from deeth) (Abyssos g12)

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

But what sayth the scripture? The worde is nye the even in thy mouth and in thyn herte. This worde is the worde of fayth which we preache.

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

For yf thou shalt knowledge wt thy mouth that Iesus is the lorde and shalt beleve with thyn hert that God raysed him up from deeth thou shalt be safe.

10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.

For the belefe of the hert iustifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe.

11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”

For the scripture sayth: whosoever beleveth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.

Ther is no difference bitwene the Iewe and the gentyll. For one is Lorde of all which is ryche vnto all that call on him.

13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

For whosoever shall call on the name of the lorde shalbe safe.

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

But how shall they call on him on who they beleved not? how shall they beleve on him of whom they have not herde? how shall they heare with out a preacher?

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

And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written: how beautifull are the fete of them which bringe glad tydynges of peace and bringe glad tydynges of good thinges.

16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”

But they have not all obeyed to ye gospell. For Esaias sayth: Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinges?

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

So then fayth cometh by hearynge and hearynge cometh by the worde of God.

18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”

But I axe: have they not herde? No dout their sounde went out into all londes: and their wordes in to the endes of the worlde.

19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”

But I demaunde whether Israel dyd knowe or not? Fyrst Moses sayth: I will provoke you for to envy by the that are no people and by a folisshe nacion I will anger you.

20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”

Esaias after that is bolde and sayth. I am founde of the that sought me not and have appered to them that axed not after me.

21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

And agaynst Israel he sayth: All daye longe have I stretched forth my hondes vnto a people yt beleveth not but speaketh agaynst me.
