Romans 10

10Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.G80G1699G2588G2107G2532G1162G4314G2316G5228G2474G2076G3303G1519G49912I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened.G1063G3140G846G3140G3754G2192G2205G2316G235G3756G2596G19223For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.G1063G50G2316G1343G2532G2212G2476G2398G1343G5293G3756G5293G1343G23164For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.G1063G5547G5056G3551G1519G1343G3956G4100

Salvation Is for All

5Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that "the person who does these things will live by them."G1063G3475G1125G1343G3588G1537G3551G3754G444G4160G846G2198G1722G8466But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)G1161G1343G1537G4102G3004G3779G2036G3361G1722G4675G2588G5101G305G1519G3772G5123G2609G5547G26097"or 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).G2228G5101G2597G1519G12G5123G321G5547G321G1537G34988But what does it say? "The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);G235G5101G3004G4487G2076G1451G4675G1722G4675G4750G2532G1722G4675G2588G5123G4487G4102G3739G27849because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.G3754G1437G3670G1722G4675G4750G2962G2424G2532G4100G1722G4675G2588G3754G2316G1453G846G1537G3498G498210For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.G1063G2588G4100G1519G1343G1161G4750G3670G1519G499111The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."G1063G1124G3004G3956G4100G1909G846G2617G3756G261712For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him.G1063G2076G3756G1293G5037G2453G2532G1672G1063G846G2962G3956G4147G1519G3956G1941G84613For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."G3956G1063G3739G302G1941G3686G2962G498214But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him?G4459G3767G1941G1519G3739G4100G3756G4100G1161G4459G4100G3739G191G3756G191G1161G4459G191G5565G278415And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"G1161G4459G2784G3362G649G2531G1125G5613G5611G4228G2097G1515G2097G1816But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"G235G5219G3756G3956G5219G2098G1063G2268G3004G2962G5101G4100G2257G18917So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.G686G4102G1537G189G1161G189G1223G4487G231618But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."G235G3004G191G3378G191G3304G846G5353G1831G1519G3956G1093G2532G846G4487G1519G4009G362519Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."G235G3004G1097G3378G2474G1097G4413G3475G3004G1473G3863G5209G3863G1909G3756G1484G1909G801G1484G3949G520920Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."G1161G2268G662G2532G3004G2147G2212G1691G3361G1096G1717G1905G3361G1905G169121But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."G1161G4314G2474G3004G3650G2250G1600G3450G5495G4314G544G2532G483G2992
