Romans 10
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

Romans 10
10
1Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is — for salvation;
2for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
3for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
4For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
5for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, ‘The man who did them shall live in them,’
6and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: ‘Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,’ that is, Christ to bring down?
7or, ‘Who shall go down to the abyss,’ that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.
8But what doth it say? ‘Nigh thee is the saying — in thy mouth, and in thy heart:’ that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
9that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
10for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
11for the Writing saith, ‘Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,’
12for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,
13for every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.’
14How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
15and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, ‘How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!’
16But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, ‘Lord, who did give credence to our report?’
17so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
18but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed — ‘to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.’
19But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, ‘I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,’
20and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, ‘I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;’
21and unto Israel He saith, ‘All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.’
