Romans 10:1-10 (Epistle)
- 1
- Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.
- 2
- For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
- 3
- For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
- 4
- For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
- 5
- For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.”
- 6
- But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down from above)
- 7
- or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
- 8
- 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
- that if 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.
- 10
- For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
