Romans 10

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.WEB — Romans 10:1

2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.WEB — Romans 10:2

3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.WEB — Romans 10:3

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.WEB — Romans 10:4

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”WEB — Romans 10:5

6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don't say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);WEB — Romans 10:6

7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”WEB — Romans 10:7

8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith, which we preach:WEB — Romans 10:8

9 that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.WEB — Romans 10:9

10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.WEB — Romans 10:10

11 For the scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”WEB — Romans 10:11

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.WEB — Romans 10:12

13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”WEB — Romans 10:13

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?WEB — Romans 10:14

15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”WEB — Romans 10:15

16 But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”WEB — Romans 10:16

17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.WEB — Romans 10:17

18 But I say, didn't they hear? Yes, most assuredly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world.”WEB — Romans 10:18

19 But I ask, didn't Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding I will make you angry.”WEB — Romans 10:19

20 Isaiah is very bold, and says, “I was found by those who didn't seek me. I was revealed to those who didn't ask for me.”WEB — Romans 10:20

21 But as to Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.WEB — Romans 10:21
