Romans 10
10
1Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4For Messiah is the fulfilment#10:4 or, completion, or end 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.”#Leviticus 18:5 6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’#Deuteronomy 30:12 (that is, to bring Messiah down); 7or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’#Deuteronomy 30:13 (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)” 8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;”#Deuteronomy 30:14 that is, the word of faith which we proclaim: 9that 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. 10For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”#Isaiah 28:16
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. 13For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”#Joel 2:32 14How 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 proclaimer? 15And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim the Good News of peace,
who bring glad tidings of good things!”#Isaiah 52:7
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”#Isaiah 53:1 17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18But 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.”#Psalms 19:4
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.”#Deuteronomy 32:21
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.”#Isaiah 65:1
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”#Isaiah 65:2
