Romans 10

1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

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

2For I bear them record 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 being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

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

4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

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

5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

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 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:)

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 it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that 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:

9That 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.

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 man believeth unto righteousness; and 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 on him shall not be ashamed.

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

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is 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? and how shall they believe in 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, 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!

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 they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias 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?

17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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

18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the 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, 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.

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 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.

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 day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

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