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 God-ward in their behalf, are 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, a zeal for God, —but not according to correct 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 God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;

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, unto 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—as touching the righteousness that is by law, The man that hath done [it], 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)

Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh—Do not say 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 up, Christ, from among 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? Near thee, is the declaration, In thy mouth and in thy heart, —that is, the declaration of the faith, which we proclaim: —

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 the declaration with thy mouth—That Jesus is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy hear—That, God, 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, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation.

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

For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall 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—of Jew or Greek, —for, the same [Lord], is Lord of all, being rich unto all who 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 men call upon one in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in one of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without one to proclaim?

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 proclaim, except they be sent? Even as it is written—How beautiful 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, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?

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

Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration 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: Have they not heard? Yea indeed, —into all the earth, hath gone forth their sound, and, unto the ends of the inhabited world, their declarations.

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: Hath, Israel, not come to know? First, Moses, saith—I, will provoke you to jealousy on account of a no-nation, on account of an undiscerning nation, will I make you very angry.

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.

Isaiah, however, waxeth daring, and saith, —I have been found by them who after me were not seeking, manifest have I become unto them who for me were not enquiring;

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

Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith—All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
