The Book of Romans 10 |
The World English Online Bible (WLD) |
Romans 10:1 | Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. |
Romans 10:2 | For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. |
Romans 10:3 | For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. |
Romans 10:4 | For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. |
Romans 10:5 | For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them." |
Romans 10:6 | 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); |
Romans 10:7 | or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" |
Romans 10:8 | 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: |
Romans 10:9 | 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. |
Romans 10:10 | For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. |
Romans 10:11 | For the scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." |
Romans 10:12 | 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. |
Romans 10:13 | For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." |
Romans 10:14 | 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? |
Romans 10:15 | 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!" |
Romans 10:16 | But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" |
Romans 10:17 | So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. |
Romans 10:18 | 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." |
Romans 10:19 | 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." |
Romans 10:20 | 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." |
Romans 10:21 | But as to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people. |
