Romans 10:1-13 ▼

1 Brethren, my hearty 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 guided by true knowledge.

3 because being ignorant of the justice which is of God, and going about to establish a justification of their own, they have not submitted themselves to that which is of God.

4 for the end of the law was to bring men to Christ, that every one who believeth, might be justified.

5 For Moses describes the justice that was to be had by the law, thus: "the man who performeth the things here required, shall have life thereby."

6 but the justification which is by faith, speaks in this manner; "say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven, in order to bring Christ down from above?

7 or, who shall descend into the deep, in order to bring up Christ again from the dead?"

8 what does it say "more? the word is nigh thee, let it be in thy mouth and in thy heart:" that is the word of faith which we preach.

9 for if you openly confess, that Jesus is the Lord, and sincerely believe, that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 for the scripture saith, "whosoever believeth on him, shall not be ashamed."

12 In reality there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile: they have all the same Lord, who is bountiful to all that call upon him.

13 "whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
