Romans:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Brethren ,
my heart '
s desire and prayer to God for Israel is ,
that they might be saved .
*
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God ,
but not according to knowledge .
*
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 .
*
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth .
*
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law ,
That the man which doeth those things shall live by them .
*
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise ,
Say not in thine heart ,
Who shall ascend into heaven ? (
that is ,
to bring Christ down from above :)
*
Or ,
Who shall descend into the deep ? (
that is ,
to bring up Christ again from the dead .)
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation .
*
For the scripture saith ,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed .
*
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek :
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him .
*
For whosoever shall call 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 they preach ,
except they be 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 !
*
But they have not all obeyed the gospel .
For Esaias saith ,
Lord ,
who hath believed our report ?
*
So then faith cometh by hearing ,
and hearing by the word of God .
*
But I say ,
Have they not heard ?
Yes verily ,
their sound went into all the earth ,
and their words unto the ends of the world .
*
But I say ,
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 .
*
But Esaias is very bold ,
and saith ,
I was found of them that sought me not ;
I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me .
*
But to Israel he saith ,
All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people .
