< Romans 10 >

1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.) (Abyssos g12)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
But what saith it? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy 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.
For with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
For the scripture saith, Whoever believeth 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 unto all that call upon him:
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him.
13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
For whoever 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 whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
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? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
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 did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
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 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for me.
21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
