Romans 10:1
|
Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Yisra'el, that they may be saved.
|
Romans 10:2
|
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
|
Romans 10:3
|
For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
|
Romans 10:4
|
For Messiah is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
|
Romans 10:5
|
For Moshe writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."
|
Romans 10:6
|
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down);
|
Romans 10:7
|
or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)"
|
Romans 10:8
|
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:
|
Romans 10:9
|
that if you will confess with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
|
Romans 10:10
|
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
|
Romans 10:11
|
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."
|
Romans 10:12
|
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
|
Romans 10:13
|
For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
|
Romans 10:14
|
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
|
Romans 10:15
|
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of shalom, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
|
Romans 10:16
|
But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Yeshaiyahu says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
|
Romans 10:17
|
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
|
Romans 10:18
|
But I say, didn't they hear? Yes, most assuredly, "Their sound went out into all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world."
|
Romans 10:19
|
But I ask, didn't Yisra'el know? First Moshe says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding I will make you angry."
|
Romans 10:20
|
Yeshaiyahu is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who didn't seek me. I was revealed to those who didn't ask for me."
|
Romans 10:21
|
But as to Yisra'el he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."
