Romans 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,
