New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
Wycliffe WYC
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.
1
Brethren, the will of mine heart and my beseeching is made to God for them into health.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
2
But I bear witnessing to them [Forsooth I bear witnessing to them], that they have the love of God, but not after knowing.
3 For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
3
For they not knowing God's rightwiseness [For they unknowing God's rightwiseness], and seeking to make steadfast their own rightwiseness, be not subject to the rightwiseness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
4
For the end of the law is Christ, to rightwiseness to each man that believeth.
5 For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.
5
For Moses wrote, For the man that shall do rightwiseness that is of the law, shall live in it.
6 But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down ),
6
But the rightwiseness that is of belief, saith thus, Say thou not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is to say, to lead down Christ;
7 or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."
7
or who shall go down into hell? that is, to again-call Christ from death. [+or who shall do down into deepness, or hell? that is, to again-call Christ from 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 are preaching,
8
But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh in thy mouth, and in thine heart; this is the word of belief, which we preach.
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord , and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
9
That if thou acknowledge in thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believest in thine heart, that God raised him from death [that God raised him from dead], thou shalt be safe.
10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
10
For by heart me believeth to rightwiseness [Forsooth by heart men believeth to rightwiseness], but by mouth acknowledging is made to health.
11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
11
For why the scripture saith, Each that believeth in him, shall not be confounded.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
12
And there is no distinction of Jew and of Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich into all, that inwardly call him [that in-call him].
13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
13
For each man, whoever shall inwardly call [whoever shall in-call] the name of the Lord, shall be safe.
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? And how will they hear without a preacher?
14
How then shall they inwardly call him [How therefore shall they in-call him], into whom they have not believed? or how shall they believe to him, whom they have not heard? How shall they hear, without a preacher?
15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"
15
and how shall they preach, but they be sent? As it is written, How fair be the feet of them that preach peace, of them that preach good things [As it is written, How fair the feet of men evangelizing peace, of preaching good things].
16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD , WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"
16
But not all men obey to the gospel [But not all obey to the gospel]. For Esaias saith, Lord, who believed to our hearing?
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
17
Therefore faith is of hearing [Therefore faith by hearing], but hearing by the word of Christ.
18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."
18
But I say, Whether they heard not? Yes, soothly the sound of them went out into all the earth, and their words into the ends of the world.
19 But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, "I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER
19
But I say, Whether Israel knew not? First Moses saith, I shall lead you to envy, that ye be no folk; that ye be an unwise folk, I shall send you into wrath [First Moses saith, I shall lead you to envy, into not a folk; into an unwise folk, I shall send you into wrath].
20 And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."
20
And Esaias is bold, and saith, I am found of men that seek me not; openly I appeared to them, that asked not me.
21 But as for Israel He says, "ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."
21
But to Israel he saith, All day I stretched out mine hands to a people that believed not, but gainsaid me. [Forsooth to Israel, he saith, All day I stretched out my hands to a people not believing to me, but again-saying to me.]
