Romans 10
1 Britheren, the wille of myn herte and mi biseching is maad to God for hem in to helthe.
Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;
2 But Y bere witnessyng to hem, that thei han loue of God, but not aftir kunnyng.
For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, —but not according to correct knowledge;
3 For thei vnknowynge Goddis riytwisnesse, and sekynge to make stidefast her owne riytfulnesse, ben not suget to the riytwisnesse 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 the ende of the lawe is Crist, to riytwisnesse to ech man that bileueth.
For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.
5 For Moises wroot, For the man that schal do riytwisnesse that is of the lawe, schal lyue in it.
For, Moses, writeth that—as touching the righteousness that is by law, The man that hath done [it], shall live thereby;
6 But the riytwisnesse that is of bileue, seith thus, Seie thou not in thin herte, Who schal stie in to heuene? that is to seie, to lede doun Crist;
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 seith the scripture? The word is nyy in thi mouth, and in thin herte; this is the word of bileue, which we prechen.
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 That if thou knoulechist in thi mouth the Lord Jhesu Crist, and bileuest in thin herte, that God reiside hym fro deth, thou schalt be saaf.
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 bi herte me bileueth to riytwisnesse, but bi mouth knowleching is maad to helthe.
For, in heart, it is to be believed unto righteousness, and, by mouth, it is to be confessed unto salvation.
11 For whi the scripture seith, Ech that bileueth in hym, schal not be confoundid.
For the scripture saith—No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?
12 And ther is no distinccioun of Jew and of Greke; for the same Lord of alle is riche in alle, that inwardli clepen hym.
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 ech man `who euere schal inwardli clepe the name of the Lord, schal be saaf.
For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: —
14 Hou thanne schulen thei inwardli clepe hym, in to whom thei han not bileued? or hou schulen thei bileue to hym, whom thei han not herd? Hou schulen thei here, with outen a prechour?
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 hou schulen thei preche, but thei be sent? As it is writun, Hou faire ben the feet of hem that prechen pees, of hem that prechen good thingis.
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 not alle men obeien to the gospel. For Ysaie seith, Lord, who bileuede to oure heryng?
But, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; —for, Isaiah, saith—Lord! who believed what we have heard?
17 Therfor feith is of heryng, but heryng bi the word of Crist.
Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.
18 But Y seie, Whether thei herden not? Yhis, sothely the word of hem wente out in to al the erthe, and her wordis in to the endis 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 Y seie, Whether Israel knewe not? First Moyses seith, Y schal lede you to enuye, that ye ben no folc; that ye ben an vnwise folc, Y schal sende you in to wraththe.
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 Ysaie is bold, and seith, Y am foundun of men that seken me not; opynli Y apperide to hem, that axiden not 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 to Israel he seith, Al dai Y streiyte out myn hondis to a puple that bileuede not, but ayen seide me.
Whereas, regarding Israel, he saith—All day long, have I stretched forth my hands unto a people unyielding and contradicting.
