Romans 10 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Word of Faith Brings Salvation

Rom 10:1Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

Rom 10:2For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Rom 10:3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Rom 10:4

Rom 10:4For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

Rom 10:5

Rom 10:5For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.

Rom 10:6

Rom 10:6But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

Rom 10:7

Rom 10:7or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)

Rom 10:8

Rom 10:8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

Rom 10:9

Rom 10:9because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

Rom 10:10

Rom 10:10for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:11

Rom 10:11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Rom 10:12

Rom 10:12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

Rom 10:13

Rom 10:13for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom 10:14

Rom 10:14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Rom 10:15

Rom 10:15and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

Rom 10:16

Rom 10:16But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Rom 10:17

Rom 10:17So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Rom 10:18

Rom 10:18But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily,

Their sound went out into all the earth,

And their words unto the ends of the world.

Rom 10:19

Rom 10:19But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith,

I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,

With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
