Romans 10

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

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

2 For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of 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 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, they did not subject themselves 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 that believeth.

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

For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

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 which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend 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 Christ 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 saith 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:

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:

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

for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

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

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

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 distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

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

for, Whosoever shall call upon 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?

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?

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 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!

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

But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

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

So belief [cometh] of 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, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went 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, 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.

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.

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.

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

But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
