< Romans 10 >
1 Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.
Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.
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 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 they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], 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 law for righteousness to every one that 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 lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.
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: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) (Abyssos )
or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead. (Abyssos )
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 near 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 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.
10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.
For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.
11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall 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 of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.
13 For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
For every one whosoever, who shall 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?
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?
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 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!
16 But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?
But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 Then faith is by hearing, and hearing by the worde of God.
So faith then [is] by a report, but the report by God's word.
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 heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable 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, 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.
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 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.
21 And vnto Israel hee sayth, All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient, and gainesaying people.
But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
