Romans 10 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Word of Faith Brings Salvation

Rom 10:1

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

Rom 10:2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
Rom 10:3For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Rom 10:4For Christ is the [fn]end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Rom 10:5

For Moses writes of the righteousness that is [fn]based on the Law, that the person who performs [fn]them will live by [fn]them.

Rom 10:6But the righteousness [fn]based on faith speaks as follows: “DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, ‘WHO WILL GO UP INTO HEAVEN?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),
Rom 10:7or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”
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[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 10:10for with the heart a person believes, [fn]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, [fn]resulting in salvation.
Rom 10:11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE [fn]PUT TO SHAME.”
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 10:13for “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
Rom 10:14

How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

Rom 10:15But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO [fn]BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!”
Rom 10:16

However, they did not all heed the [fn]good news; for Isaiah says, “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?”

Rom 10:17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word [fn]of Christ.
Rom 10:18

But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:

“THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH,

AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE [fn]WORLD.”

Rom 10:19

But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says,

“I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS WITH THOSE WHO ARE NOT A NATION,

WITH A FOOLISH NATION I WILL ANGER YOU.”

Rom 10:20

And Isaiah is very bold and says,

“I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME,

I REVEALED MYSELF TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME.”

Rom 10:21

But as for Israel, He says, “I HAVE SPREAD OUT MY HANDS ALL DAY LONG TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE.”
