Romans 10

1Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for them unto salvation.

1Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] toGod for them is for salvation.

2For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

2For I bear them witness that they have zeal forGod, but not according to knowledge.

3For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

3For they, being ignorant ofGod's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness ofGod.

4For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth.

4For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.

5For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it.

5For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

6But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down;

6But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

7Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

7or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead.

8But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

8But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

9For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

9that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart thatGod has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.

10For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

10For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.

11For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.

11For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

12For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

12For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

13For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

14How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one who preaches?

15And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things?

15and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

16But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

16But they have not all obeyed the glad tidings. For Esaias says, Lord, who has believed our report?

17Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

17So faith then [is] by a report, but the report byGod's word.

18But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily: Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

18But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.

19But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you.

19But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through [them that are] not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.

20But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me. I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

20But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.

21But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not and contradicteth me.

21But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.
