Romans 10
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for 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 being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness 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 unto righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.
5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live 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 righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down: )
Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh—Do not say in thy 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 among the dead; (Abyssos g12)
8 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:
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 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:
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 believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
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, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?
12 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:
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, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: —
14 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?
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? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that 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 did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?
17 So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.
18 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith—All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
