Romans 10:1-21 LSV

[1] Brothers, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is—for salvation; [2] for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge, [3] for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing, [5] for Moses describes the righteousness that [is] of the Law, that, “The man who did them will live in them,” [6] and the righteousness of faith thus speaks: “You may not say in your heart, Who will go up to Heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down) [7] or, “Who will go down to the abyss?” (that is, to bring up Christ out of the dead). [8] But what does it say? “The saying is near you—in your mouth, and in your heart”: that is, the saying of the faith that we preach; [9] that if you may confess with your mouth that Jesus [is] LORD, and may believe in your heart that God raised Him out of the dead, you will be saved, [10] for with the heart [one] believes to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; [11] for the Writing says, “Everyone who is believing on Him will not be ashamed,” [12] for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling on Him, [13] for “Everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.” [14] How then will they call on [Him] in whom they did not believe? And how will they believe [on Him] of whom they did not hear? And how will they hear apart from one preaching? [15] And how will they preach, if they may not be sent? According as it has been written: “How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!” [16] But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah says, “LORD, who gave credence to our report?” [17] So then faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God, [18] but I say, did they not hear? Yes, indeed, “their voice went forth to all the earth, and their sayings to the ends of the habitable world.” [19] But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation, || By an unintelligent nation I will anger you,” [20] and Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those not seeking Me; I became visible to those not inquiring after Me”; [21] and to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a people unbelieving and contradicting.”
