Romans 10
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them (note: Leviticus 18:5; see also Ezekiel 20:11, 13, and 21.).”
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven (note: Deuteronomy 30:12)?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss (note: See Deuteronomy 30:13.)?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart (note: Deuteronomy 30:14),” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame (note: Isaiah 28:16 (see also LXX)).”
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (note: Joel 2:32).”
How then 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 preacher?
How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? (note: Or, preaching. Gr. the hearing of us)
But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message (note: Isaiah 53:1)?”
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world (note: Psalm 19:4 (see also LXX)).”
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding (note: Deuteronomy 32:21 (see also LXX)).”
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me (note: Isaiah 65:1); I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people (note: Isaiah 65:2 (see also LXX)).”
