Romans 10 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Brothers^G80, my heart’s^G2588 desire^G2107 and my prayer^G1162 to God^G2316 for them is for their salvation^G4991.

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

Rom 10:3For not knowing about the righteousness of God 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 [fn]end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Faith Comes by Hearing

Rom 10:5

For Moses^G3475 writes^G1125 about the righteousness^G1343 which is of^G1537 law^G3551: “THE MAN^G444 WHO DOES^G4160 THESE THINGS SHALL LIVE^G2198 BY THEM.”

Rom 10:6

Rom 10:6But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way: “DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, ‘WHO WILL GO UP INTO HEAVEN?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),

Rom 10:7

Rom 10:7or ‘WHO WILL GO DOWN INTO THE ABYSS?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

Rom 10:8

Rom 10:8But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

Rom 10:9

Rom 10:9 [fn]that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

Rom 10:10

Rom 10:10for with the heart a person believes, [fn]leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, [fn]leading to salvation.

Rom 10:11

Rom 10:11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES UPON HIM WILL 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, abounding in riches for all who call on Him,

Rom 10:13

Rom 10:13for “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

Rom 10:14

How^G4459 then^G3767 will they call^G1941 on^G1941 Him in whom^G3739 they have not believed^G4100? How^G4459 will they believe^G4100 in Him whom^G3739 they have not heard^G191? And how^G4459 will they hear^G191 without^G5565 a preacher^G2784?

Rom 10:15

Rom 10:15And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO PROCLAIM GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!”

Rom 10:16

However^G235, they did not all^G3956 heed^G5219 the [fn]good^G2098 news^G2098, for Isaiah^G2268 says^G3004, “LORD^G2962, WHO^G5101 HAS BELIEVED^G4100 OUR REPORT^G189?”

Rom 10:17

Rom 10:17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word [fn]of Christ.

Rom 10:18

But I say^G3004, have they never^G3361^G3756 heard^G191? On the contrary^G3304, they have;

“THEIR VOICE^G5353 HAS GONE^G1831 OUT INTO ALL^G3956 THE EARTH^G1093,

AND THEIR WORDS^G4487 TO THE ENDS^G4009 OF THE [fn]WORLD^G3625.”

Rom 10:19

But I say^G3004, did Israel^G2474 not know^G1097? First^G4413 Moses^G3475 says^G3004,

“I WILL MAKE^G3863 YOU JEALOUS^G3863 BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION^G1484,

BY A NATION^G1484 WITHOUT^G801 UNDERSTANDING^G801 WILL I ANGER^G3949 YOU.”

Rom 10:20

And Isaiah^G2268 is very^G662 bold^G662 and says^G3004,

“I WAS FOUND^G2147 BY THOSE^G3588 WHO DID NOT SEEK^G2212 ME,

I BECAME^G1096 MANIFEST^G1717 TO THOSE^G3588 WHO DID NOT ASK^G1905 FOR ME.”

Rom 10:21

But as for Israel^G2474 He says^G3004, “ALL^G3650 DAY^G2250 LONG I HAVE STRETCHED^G1600 OUT MY HANDS^G5495 TO A DISOBEDIENT^G544 AND OBSTINATE^G483 PEOPLE^G2992.”
