Paul’s Letter to the Romans
10. fejezet
1. vers
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2. vers
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3. vers
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4. vers
For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5. vers
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6. vers
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7. vers
or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
8. vers
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9. vers
that 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.
10. vers
For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11. vers
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12. vers
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.
13. vers
For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14. vers
How 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?
15. vers
And 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!”
16. vers
But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17. vers
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18. vers
But 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.”
19. vers
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.”
20. vers
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.”
21. vers
But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
