Romans 10

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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 for 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 everyone that believeth.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law: that "the man who doeth those things shall live by them."

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh in this manner: "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 in 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 who 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 unless they are 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 Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

18 But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, verily: "Their sound went out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."

19 But I ask, 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 Isaiah is very bold and saith, "I was found by 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."

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."
