Romans
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
believeth.
10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man
which doeth those things shall live by them.
10:6 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:)
10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again
from the dead.)
10:8 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;
10:9 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.
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth 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 Esaias saith, Lord, who
hath believed our report?
10:17 So then faith cometh 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 saith, I will provoke you to
jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will
anger you.
10:20 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.
10:21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands
unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
