Romans 10:1-13 ▼

1 Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which [I address] to God for them is for salvation.

2 For I bear them witness that they have 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 law for righteousness to every one that believes.

5 For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among [the] dead.

8 But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation.

11 For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

13 For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
