Romans 10
1 Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;
Brothers, truly my heart's desire and my supplication to God for Israel is for salvation.
2 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
For I testify to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
For not understanding the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
For Christ is the end of law for righteousness, to every man who believes.
5 for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'
For Moses writes in the righteousness from the law, that the man that does them will live in them.
6 and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?
But the righteousness from faith says thus: Thou should not say in thy heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down)
or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos g12)
8 But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach:
9 that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
that if thou will confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved.
10 for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation.
11 for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'
For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed.
12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,
For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him.
13 for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'
For every man, whoever may call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching?
15 and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'
And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things.
16 But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'
But not all were obedient to the good news, for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17 so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
So faith is from hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'
But I say, did they, no, not hear? Rather, Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their sayings to the limits of the inhabited world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'
But I say, did Israel, no, not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy toward a non-nation. Toward a foolish nation, I will make you angry.
20 and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'
And Isaiah is very bold and says, I was found by those not seeking me. I became manifest to those not asking for me.
21 and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
But to Israel he says, The whole day I stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.
