Romans 10
10
1Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: ‘The person who does these things will live by them.’#10:5 Lev. 18:5 6But the righteousness that is by faith says: ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” ’#10:6 Deut. 30:12 (that is, to bring Christ down) 7‘or “Who will descend into the deep?” ’#10:7 Deut. 30:13 (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? ‘The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,’#10:8 Deut. 30:14 that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9if you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.’#10:11 Isaiah 28:16 (see Septuagint) 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile – the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’#10:13 Joel 2:32
14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’#10:15 Isaiah 52:7
16But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our message?’#10:16 Isaiah 53:1 17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 18But I ask: did they not hear? Of course they did:
‘Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.’#10:18 Psalm 19:4
19Again I ask: did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
‘I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.’#10:19 Deut. 32:21
20And Isaiah boldly says,
‘I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.’#10:20 Isaiah 65:1
21But concerning Israel he says,
‘All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people.’#10:21 Isaiah 65:2

Romans 10

1Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the fulfilment#10:4 or, completion, or end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”#Leviticus 18:5 6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’#Deuteronomy 30:12 (that is, to bring Christ down); 7or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’#Deuteronomy 30:13 (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” 8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;”#Deuteronomy 30:14 that is, the word of faith which we preach: 9that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”#Isaiah 28:16
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. 13For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”#Joel 2:32 14How 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? 15And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace,
who bring glad tidings of good things!”#Isaiah 52:7
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”#Isaiah 53:1 17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly,
“Their sound went out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”#Psalms 19:4
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says,
“I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation.
I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”#Deuteronomy 32:21
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.”#Isaiah 65:1
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”#Isaiah 65:2
