Romans 10

1 Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;

Brethren, indeed the desire of my heart and my prayer to God in their behalf, is for their salvation.

2 For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, —but not according to correct knowledge;

For I testify to them, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to perfect knowledge;

3 For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;

for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one who believes.

5 For, Moses, writeth that—as touching the righteousness that is by law, The man that hath done [it], shall live thereby;

For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, that the man having done this shall live in it.

6 Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh—Do not say in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring, Christ, down,

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend up into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down:

7 Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up, Christ, from among the dead; (Abyssos g12)

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring him up from the dead. (Abyssos g12)

8 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: —

But what says it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

9 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; —

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

10 For, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation.

for with the heart it is believed unto righteousness; and with the mouth it is confessed unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?

For the scripture says, Every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

12 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;

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

13 For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: —

For every one who may call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 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?

Then how can they call on him on whom they have not believed? and how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 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!

And how can they preach, unless they may be sent forth? as has been written, How beautiful are the feet of those, who preach the gospel of good things!

16 But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?

But they have not all heard the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

17 Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.

Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 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.

But I say, Have they not all heard? Yea, truly, Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19 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.

But I say, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of understanding I will anger you.

20 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;

But Isaiah is bold, and says, I was found by those not seeking after me; and made manifest to those not inquiring after me.

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

But to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.
