Romans 10 (WEBP)

[1] Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
[2] For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
[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.
[4] For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
[5] For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
[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 Christ down);
[7] or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
[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:
[9] that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
[10] For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
[11] For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
[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.
[13] For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
[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?
[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 peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
[16] But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
[17] So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
[18] But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
[19] But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
[20] Isaiah 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.”
[21] But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

Romans 10 (KJVS)

[1] Brethren , my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is (), that they might be saved .
[2] For I bear them record () that they have () a zeal of God , but not according to knowledge .
[3] For they being ignorant () of God’s righteousness , and going about () to establish () their own righteousness , have not submitted themselves () unto the righteousness of God .
[4] For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth ().
[5] For Moses describeth () the righteousness which is of the law , That the man which doeth () those things shall live () by them .
[6] But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh () on this wise , Say () not in thine heart , Who shall ascend () into heaven ? (that is (), to bring Christ down () [from above]:)
[7] Or , Who shall descend () into the deep ? (that is (), to bring up Christ again () from the dead .)
[8] But what saith it ()? The word is () nigh thee , [even] 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 the Lord Jesus , and shalt believe () in thine heart that God hath raised () him from the dead , thou shalt 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] For there is () no difference between the Jew and the Greek : for the same Lord over all is rich () unto all that call upon () him .
[13] For whosoever shall call upon () the name of the Lord shall be saved ().
[14] How then shall they call on () him in whom they have not believed ()? and how shall they believe in () him of whom they have not heard ()? and how shall they hear () without a preacher ()?
[15] And how shall they preach (), except they be sent ()? as it is written (), How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel () of peace , and bring glad tidings () of good things !
[16] But they have not all obeyed () the gospel . For Esaias saith (), Lord , who hath believed () our report ?
[17] So then faith [cometh] by hearing , and hearing by the word of God .
[18] But I say (), Have they not heard ()? Yes verily , their sound went () into all the earth , and their words unto the ends of the world .
[19] But I say (), Did not Israel know ()? First Moses saith (), I will provoke you to jealousy () by [them that are] no people , [and] by a foolish nation I will anger () you .
[20] But Esaias is very bold (), and saith (), I was found () of them that sought () me not ; I was made () manifest unto them that asked not after () me .
[21] But to Israel he saith (), All day long I have stretched forth () my hands unto a disobedient () and gainsaying () people .

Young’s Literal Translation

Romans 10 (YLT)

[1] Brethren, 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 their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
[4] For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
[5] for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, ‘The man who did them shall live in them,’
[6] and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: ‘Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,’ that is, Christ to bring down?
[7] or, ‘Who shall go down to the abyss,’ that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.
[8] But what doth it say? ‘Nigh thee is the saying-in thy mouth, and in thy heart:’ that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
[9] that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
[10] for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
[11] for the Writing saith, ‘Every one who is believing on him shall 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 upon Him,
[13] for every one-whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.’
[14] How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
[15] and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath 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 saith, ‘Lord, who did give credence to our report?’
[17] so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
[18] but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed-‘to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.’
[19] But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, ‘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 saith, ‘I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;’
[21] and unto Israel He saith, ‘All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.’
