Romans 10

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

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

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

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

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

For being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.

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

For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

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

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall 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)

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or,

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

who shall descend into the deep, (that is, to (Abyssos g12)

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:

bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

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.

and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

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

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

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

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

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,

For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him.

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

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

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

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

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

and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things?

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

But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

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

So that faith cometh 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.”

But I say, Have they not heard? Verily their sound is gone out into all the earth, and 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.”

But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"

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.”

and Esaias positively affirms, "I was found of them that sought me not, I was made manifest to them that asked not after me:"

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

and saith to Israel, "All the day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people."
