Romans:10

Seeker Overlay ON

* Brethren , the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is , that they may be saved . * For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God , but not according to knowledge . * For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God , and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own , they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God . * For Christ is the end of the Law , so that every one that believeth may obtain righteousness . * For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law : "The man that hath done these things shall live by them ." * But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus : Say not in thy heart , "Who shall ascend into heaven ?" that is , to bring Christ down . * Or , "Who shall descend into the abyss ?" that is , to bring up Christ from the dead . * But what saith it ? "The word is nigh thee , in thy mouth , and in thy heart ;" that is , the word concerning faith , which we preach ; * for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord , and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead , thou shalt be saved . * For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness , and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation . * For the Scripture saith , "Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame ." * For there is no difference between Jew and Greek ; for one and the same is Lord over all , rich to all that call upon him . * For "every one who calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved ." * 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 ? * and how shall men preach , unless they are sent forth ? as it is written , "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace , who bring glad tidings of good things !" * But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings . For Isaiah saith , "Lord , who hath believed what he hath heard from us ?" * Faith then cometh by hearing , and hearing by the word of God . * But I say , Did they not hear ? Yes truly , "Their voice went forth into all the earth , and their words to the ends of the world ." * But I say , Hath not Israel had knowledge ? First , Moses saith , "I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation , I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people ." * But Isaiah is very bold , and saith , "I was found by those who sought me not , I became known to those who inquired not for me ." * But concerning Israel he saith , "All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people ."
