Romans 10
10
1Achim b'Moshiach, the great tshuka (desire, longing) of my lev and my tefillah to Hashem is for the Yeshu'at Yisroel (salvation of Israel).
2For I can be meid (provide testimony, attest) regarding them that they have a kinat Hashem (zeal for G-d), but not in accordance with saving binah and da'as.
3For, having no saving da'as of the Tzidkat Hashem (the righteousness of G-d), and seeking to establish their own,#10:3 that is, self-attained they have not subjected themselves to the Tzidkat Hashem (righteousness of G-d).#10:3 1:17; 3:5,21,25-26; 6:18
4For Moshiach is the goal of the Torah as a means to being YITZDAK IM HASHEM, for all who have emunah.
5For Moshe Rabbeinu writes with reference to the (accessibility of) Tzidkat Torah (righteousness which is from the Torah), The man YA'ASEH OTAM VACHAI#10:5 Lv 18:5 (who does these things will live) by them.
6Whereas the Tzidkat Emunah (righteousness which is from faith) speaks thus: Do not say#10:6 looking for Messianic salvation being merited by superhuman attainments in works in your lev, Who will go up into Shomayim? (that is, to bring Moshiach down)?
7Or, Who will go down into the abyss? (that is, to bring Moshiach up from the Mesim).
8But what does it say? “The Dvar is near you, in your MOUTH and in your HEART.”#10:8 Dt 30:14 That is, the Dvar of Emunah which we proclaim.
9Because if you make hoda'ah (confession) “with your PEH” of Adoneinu Yehoshua, and have emunah “in your LEV” that G-d raised him from the Mesim, you#10:9 See Mt 16:15-18 will be delivered.
10For with the “heart” one has emunah unto being YITZDAK IM HASHEM and with the “mouth” hoda'ah is made unto Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
11For the Kitvei Hakodesh says, Everyone who has emunah in Him shall not be put to shame.#10:11 Isa 28:16
12For there is no distinction between Yehudi and Yevani,#10:12 cf. Ro 3:9 for the same one is Adon Echad l'chulam (one L-rd over all), rich to all who call upon Him.
13For V'HAYAH KOL ASHER YIKRA B'SHEM ADONOI (Everyone whoever calls upon the Name of the L-rd — Yoel 3:5 [2:32]) shall be delivered.
14How therefore 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 someone doing the hatafah (preaching)?
15And how shall they do the hatafah (preaching) unless they have been sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach” Besuras HaGeulah Isa 52:7.
16But not all have mishma'at (obedience) to the Besuras HaGeulah. For Yeshayah says: MI HE'EMIN LISHMU'ATEINU#10:16 Isa 53:1 (Who has believed that which is heard, our report)?#10:16 cf. Dt 9:4
17So, then, emunah comes from hearing, and hearing comes through the Dvar HaMoshiach.
18But I say, is it the case that they have not heard? On the contrary: “Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the inhabited world” Ps 19:4.
19But I say, is it the case that Yisroel has not known? First, Moshe Rabbeinu says: I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation; by a senseless nation I will make you angry.#10:19 Dt 32:21
20And Yeshayah HaNavi is bold as to say: I have been found by those who do not seek Me; I have revealed Myself to those who do not ask for Me.#10:20 Isa 65:1
21But concerning Yisroel he says: All the day I stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.#10:21 Isa 65:2

Israel Needs the Gospel
1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2For I bear them witness #Acts 21:20; Gal. 1:14that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of #(Rom. 1:17)God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own #(Phil. 3:9)righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4For #Matt. 5:17; (Rom. 7:1–4; Gal. 3:24; 4:5)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, #Lev. 18:5; Neh. 9:29; Ezek. 20:11, 13, 21; Rom. 7:10; Gal. 3:12“The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, #Deut. 30:12–14“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7or, #Deut. 30:13“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? #Deut. 30:14“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9that #Matt. 10:32; Luke 12:8; Acts 8:37; Rom. 14:9; (1 Cor. 12:3); Phil. 2:11if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the Scripture says, #Is. 28:16; Jer. 17:7; Rom. 9:33“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12For #Acts 15:9; Rom. 3:22, 29; Gal. 3:28there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for #Acts 10:36; 1 Tim. 2:5the same Lord over all #Eph. 1:7is rich to all who call upon Him. 13For #Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21“whoever calls #Acts 9:14on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Israel Rejects the Gospel
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 #Acts 8:31; Titus 1:3without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
#Is. 52:7; Nah. 1:15“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, #Is. 53:1; John 12:38“Lord, who has believed our report?” 17So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
#Ps. 19:4; Matt. 24:14; Mark 16:15; Rom. 1:8; Col. 1:6, 23; 1 Thess. 1:8“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
19But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:
#Deut. 32:21; Rom. 11:11“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a #Titus 3:3foolish nation.”
20But Isaiah is very bold and says:
#Is. 65:1; Rom. 9:30“I was found by those who did not seek Me;
I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”
21But to Israel he says:
#Is. 65:2“All day long I have stretched out My hands
To a disobedient and contrary people.”
