| Rom. 10:1 |
Brothers, the good pleasure of my heart and my petition to God for them is for [their] salvation. |
| Rom. 10:2 |
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge; |
| Rom. 10:3 |
For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the righteousness of God. |
| Rom. 10:4 |
For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to everyone who believes. |
| Rom. 10:5 |
For Moses writes [concerning] the righteousness which is out of the law: "The man who does them shall live by them." |
| Rom. 10:6 |
But the righteousness which is out of faith speaks in this way, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" that is, to bring Christ down; |
| Rom. 10:7 |
Or, "Who will descend into the abyss?" that is, to bring Christ up from the dead. |
| Rom. 10:8 |
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of the faith which we proclaim, |
| Rom. 10:9 |
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; |
| Rom. 10:10 |
For with the heart there is believing unto righteousness, and with the mouth there is confession unto salvation. |
| Rom. 10:11 |
For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes on Him shall not be put to shame." |
| Rom. 10:12 |
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord [is] [Lord] of all [and] rich to all who call upon Him; |
| Rom. 10:13 |
For "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." |
| Rom. 10:14 |
How then shall they call upon [Him] into whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe [into Him] of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one who proclaims [Him?] |
| Rom. 10:15 |
And how shall they proclaim [Him] unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the news of good things!" |
| Rom. 10:16 |
But not all have obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?" |
| Rom. 10:17 |
So faith [comes] out of hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. |
| Rom. 10:18 |
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes surely: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth." |
| Rom. 10:19 |
But I say, Did Israel not know [this?] First, Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy by [them who are] not a nation; by a nation without understanding I will anger you." |
| Rom. 10:20 |
And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me." |
| Rom. 10:21 |
But with regard to Israel he says, "All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a people who disobey and contradict." |
