Romans 10

Brethren, ^amy heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. ²For I bear them record ^bthat they have a zeal of God, but ^cnot according to knowledge. ³For they being ignorant of ^dGod’s righteousness, and going about to establish ^dtheir own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. ⁴For ^eChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. ⁵For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That ^fthe man which doeth those things shall live by them. ⁶But ^dthe righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, ^gSay not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, ^hto bring Christ down from above:) ⁷or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) ⁸But what saith it? ⁱThe word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; ⁹that if thou shalt ^kconfess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt ^lbelieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For ^llthe scripture saith, ^mWhosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ¹²For ⁿthere is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for ^othe same Lord over all is ^prich unto all that call upon him. ¹³For ^qwhosoever shall ^rcall upon 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 ^swithout a preacher? ¹⁵And how shall they preach, except ^tthey be sent? as it is written, ^uHow beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! ¹⁶But ^xthey have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, ^ywho hath believed our ^zreport? ¹⁷So then faith cometh by ^zhearing, and ^zhearing by the word of God. ¹⁸But I say, Have they not heard? ^aYes verily, ^btheir sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. ¹⁹But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, ^cI will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a ^dfoolish nation I will anger you. ²⁰But Esaias is very bold, and saith, ^eI was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. ²¹But to Israel he saith, ^fAll day long have I stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
