Romans Chapter 10 (NASB)

KJV ESV NIV NASB NLT

undefined Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for [their] salvation.

undefined For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.

undefined For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

undefined For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

undefined For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

undefined But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: 'DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),

undefined or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).'

undefined 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 are preaching,

undefined that if you confess with your mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

undefined for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

undefined For the Scripture says, 'WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.'

undefined For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

undefined for 'WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

undefined How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?

undefined How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, 'HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!'

undefined However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, 'LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?'

undefined So faith [comes] from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

undefined But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; 'THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD.'

undefined But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, 'I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU.'

undefined And Isaiah is very bold and says, 'I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME.'

undefined But as for Israel He says, 'ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE.'
