Romans 10

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

My Brethren, The desire of my heart, and my intercession with God for them, is, that they might have life.

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

For I bear them witness, that there is in them a zeal for God; but it is 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 they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

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

For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.

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 by the law, thus: Whoever shall do 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 by faith, saith thus: Thou shalt not say in thy heart, Who ascendeth to heaven, and bringeth Messiah down?

7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos g12)

Or, Who descendeth to the abyss of the grave, and bringeth up Messiah from the place of 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 thing is near to thy mouth, and to thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim.

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.

And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live.

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

For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life.

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

For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

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

And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him.

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

For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life.

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? Or, how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? Or, 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!

Or, how shall they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of the heralds of peace, and of the heralds of good things?

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

But all of them have not obeyed the proclamation of the gospel. (For, Isaiah said: My Lord, who hath believed our proclamation?)

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

Therefore, faith is from the hearing of the ear; and the hearing of the ear, is from 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: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out 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: Did not Israel know? First, Moses said, thus: I will awaken your emulation, by a people which is not a people; and by a disobedient people, I will provoke you.

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.

And Isaiah was bold, and said: I was seen by those who sought me not; and I was found by 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 to Israel, he said: All the day, have I stretched out my hands to a contentious and disobedient people.
