Romans 10

Common English Bible CEB

1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire is for Israel's salvation. That's my prayer to God for them.

2 I can vouch for them: they are enthusiastic about God. However, it isn't informed by knowledge.

3 They don't submit to God's righteousness because they don't understand his righteousness, and they try to establish their own righteousness.

4 Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God.

5 Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the Law: The person who does these things will live by them.

6 But the righteousness that comes from faith talks like this: Don't say in your heart, "Who will go up into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)

7 or "Who will go down into the region below?" (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 message of faith that we preach).

9 Because if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and in your heart you have faith that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 Trusting with the heart leads to righteousness, and confessing with the mouth leads to salvation.

11 The scripture says, All who have faith in him won't be put to shame.

12 There is no distinction between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord is Lord of all, who gives richly to all who call on him.

13 All who call on the Lord's name will be saved.

14 So how can they call on someone they don't have faith in? And how can they have faith in someone they haven't heard of? And how can they hear without a preacher?

15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the good news.

16 But everyone hasn't obeyed the good news. As Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our message?

17 So, faith comes from listening, but it's listening by means of Christ's message.

18 But I ask you, didn't they hear it? Definitely! Their voice has gone out into the entire earth, and their message has gone out to the corners of the inhabited world.

19 But I ask you again, didn't Israel understand? First, Moses says, I will make you jealous of those who aren't a people, of a people without understanding.

20 And Isaiah even dares to say, I was found by those who didn't look for me; I revealed myself to those who didn't ask for me.

21 But he says about Israel, All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved.

2 I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided.

3 They don't understand [how to receive] God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval.

4 Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval.

5 Moses writes about receiving God's approval by following his laws. He says, "The person who obeys laws will live because of the laws he obeys."

6 However, Scripture says about God's approval which is based on faith, "Don't ask yourself who will go up to heaven," (that is, to bring Christ down).

7 "Don't ask who will go down into the depths," (that is, to bring Christ back from the dead).

8 However, what else does it say? "This message is near you. It's in your mouth and in your heart." This is the message of faith that we spread.

9 If you declare that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God brought him back to life, you will be saved.

10 By believing you receive God's approval, and by declaring your faith you are saved.

11 Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed."

12 There is no difference between Jews and Greeks. They all have the same Lord, who gives his riches to everyone who calls on him.

13 So then, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

14 But how can people call on him if they have not believed in him? How can they believe in him if they have not heard his message? How can they hear if no one tells [the Good News]?

15 How can people tell the Good News if no one sends them? As Scripture says, "How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who announce the Good News."

16 But not everyone has believed the Good News. Isaiah asks, "Lord, who has believed our message?"

17 So faith comes from hearing the message, and the message that is heard is what Christ spoke.

18 But I ask, "Didn't they hear that message?" Certainly they did! "The voice of the messengers has gone out into the whole world and their words to the ends of the earth."

19 Again I ask, "Didn't Israel understand [that message]?" Moses was the first to say, "I will make you jealous of people who are not a nation. I will make you angry about a nation that doesn't understand."

20 Isaiah said very boldly, "I was found by those who weren't looking for me. I was revealed to those who weren't asking for me."

21 Then Isaiah said about Israel, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to disobedient and rebellious people."
