Romans 10
1 Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation;
Brethren, indeed my heart's desire and prayer to God for them, is, that they may be saved.
2 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
For I testify to God for them, that they have a zeal for God; but not according to knowledge;
3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
for being ignorant of God's justification, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to the justification which is of God.
4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing,
For Christ is the end of the law for justification to every believer.
5 for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,”
Now Moses describes the justification which is by the law, that "the man who does these things shall live by them."
6 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)
But the justification which is by faith speaks thus: Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down.
Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from the dead. (Abyssos g12)
8 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;
But what does it say? (The word is near you--in your mouth, and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach: )
9 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,
that if you will openly confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
(For with your heart man believes to justification: and with your mouth confession is made to salvation.)
11 for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,”
For the scripture says, "No one, who believes on him, shall be ashamed."
12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him,
Indeed, there is no distinction either of Jew or of Greek: for the same Lord of all, is right toward all who call upon him.
13 for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.”
"For whoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
14 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?
But how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear, without a proclaimer?
15 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!”
and how shall proclaim, unless they be sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them, who bring the joyful message of peace--of them, who bring the joyful news of good things!"
16 But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?”
Nevertheless, all have not obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
(So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.)
18 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.”
But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, indeed, "Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."
19 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,”
I ask again, has not Israel known? First, Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy by that, which is no nation; --by a foolish nation I will enrage you."
20 and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”;
Besides, Isaiah is very bold when he says, "I am found by them, who did not seek me: I am shown to them, who did not ask for me."
21 and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
But concerning Israel he says, "All the day long, have I stretched forth my hand to a disobedient and rebelling people."
