The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
4 For the goal at which the Torah aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts.
4
Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 For Moshe writes about the righteousness grounded in the Torah that the person who does these things will attain life through them. k
5
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
6 Moreover, the righteousness grounded in trusting says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend to heaven?'" that is, to bring the Messiah down -
6
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 or, "'Who will descend into Sh'ol?'" that is, to bring the Messiah up from the dead.
7
“or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 What, then, does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart."l that is, the word about trust which we proclaim, namely,
8
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
9 that if you acknowledge publicly with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord and trust in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be delivered.
9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one goes on trusting and thus continues toward righteousness, while with the mouth one keeps on making public acknowledgement and thus continues toward deliverance.
10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
11 For the pas sage quoted says that everyone who rests his trust on him will not be humiliated.
11
As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
12 That means that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - ADONAI is the same for everyone, rich toward everyone who calls on him,
12
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
13 since everyone who calls on the name of ADONAI will be delivered.
13
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 But how can they call on someone if they haven't trusted in him? And how can they trust in someone if they haven't heard about him? And how can they hear about someone if no one is proclaiming him?
14
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
