ROMANS ยท Chapter 10
10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that
they might be saved.
10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according
to knowledge.
10:3 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.
10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one
that believes.
10:5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That
the man which does those things shall live by them.
10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks likewise, Say not
in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ
down from above:)
10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ
again from the dead.)
10:8 But what says it? The word is nigh you, even in your
mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which
we preach;
10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you
shall be saved.
10:10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
10:11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be
ashamed.
10:12 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.
10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
10:14 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?
10:15 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!
10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord,
who has believed our report?
10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God.
10:18 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.
10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke
you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will
anger you.
10:20 But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought
me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
10:21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my
hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
