Romans 10

1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.

Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved.

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

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

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

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

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

For Christ is the end of the Law, so that every one that believeth may obtain righteousness.

5 For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law: “The man that hath done these things shall live by them.”

6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus: 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 up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos g12)

Or, “Who shall descend into the abyss?” that is, to bring up Christ from the dead. (Abyssos g12)

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

But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart;” that is, the word concerning faith, which we preach;

9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.

for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.

For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.

11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

For the Scripture saith, “Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame.”

12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.

13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

For “every one who calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

14 How then 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 one who preaches?

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 unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?

But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed what he hath heard from us?”

17 So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.

Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.

But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, “Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.

But I say, Hath not Israel had knowledge? First, Moses saith, “I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation, I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people.”

20 But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.

But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I was found by those who sought me not, I became known to those who inquired not for me.”

21 But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.

But concerning Israel he saith, “All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.”
