Romans 10

New Living Translation NLT

1 Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.

2 I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal.

3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.

5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands.

6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth).

7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).”

8 In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach:

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”

12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him.

13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”

14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

16 But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, “ LORD, who has believed our message?”

17 So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.

18 But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have: “The message has gone throughout the earth, and the words to all the world.”

19 But I ask, did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, God said, “I will rouse your jealousy through people who are not even a nation. I will provoke your anger through the foolish Gentiles.”

20 And later Isaiah spoke boldly for God, saying, “I was found by people who were not looking for me. I showed myself to those who were not asking for me.”

21 But regarding Israel, God said, “All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious.”

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.
