Romans 10

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

Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, 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 testimony that they have a zeal of 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 not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth.

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,

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

for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in 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)

and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to 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 will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of 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 does it say? “The saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that 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 you may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved,

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

for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

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

for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not 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 between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,

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

for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will 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 will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching?

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 will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!”

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

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”

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

So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

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? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends 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, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, By an unintelligent nation 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.

and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible 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.

and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
