Romans 10

1 Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.

Brethren, indeed the desire of my heart and my prayer to God in their behalf, is for their salvation.

2 For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge.

For I testify to them, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to perfect knowledge;

3 For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.

for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth.

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one who believes.

5 For Moses thus describeth the righteousnes which is of the Lawe, That the man which doeth these things, shall liue thereby.

For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, that the man having done this shall live in it.

6 But the righteousnes which is of faith, speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? (that is to bring Christ from aboue)

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend up into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down:

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) (Abyssos g12)

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring him up from the dead. (Abyssos g12)

8 But what sayth it? The worde is neere thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thine heart. This is the worde of faith which we preach.

But what says it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

9 For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued:

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.

for with the heart it is believed unto righteousness; and with the mouth it is confessed unto salvation.

11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.

For the scripture says, Every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian: for he that is Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him.

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

13 For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.

For every one who may call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 But how shall they call on him, in whome they haue not beleeued? and how shall they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard? and howe shall they heare without a preacher?

Then how can they call on him on whom they have not believed? and how can they believe on 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, Howe beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

And how can they preach, unless they may be sent forth? as has been written, How beautiful are the feet of those, who preach the gospel of good things!

16 But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?

But they have not all heard the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

17 Then faith is by hearing, and hearing by the worde of God.

Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 But I demaund, Haue they not heard? No doubt their sound went out through all the earth, and their wordes into the endes of the worlde.

But I say, Have they not all heard? Yea, truly, Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19 But I demaund, Did not Israel knowe God? First Moses sayth, I will prouoke you to enuie by a nation that is not my nation, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But I say, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of understanding I will anger you.

20 And Esaias is bolde, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not, and haue bene made manifest to them that asked not after me.

But Isaiah is bold, and says, I was found by those not seeking after me; and made manifest to those not inquiring after me.

21 And vnto Israel hee sayth, All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient, and gainesaying people.

But to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.
