Romans 10 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Rom 10:1Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is -- for salvation;
Rom 10:2for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,
Rom 10:3for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.
Rom 10:4For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,
Rom 10:5for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'
Rom 10:6and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?
Rom 10:7or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.
Rom 10:8But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
Rom 10:9that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
Rom 10:10for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
Rom 10:11for the Writing saith, 'Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'
Rom 10:12for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him,
Rom 10:13for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'
Rom 10:14How then shall they call upon him in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe on him of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?
Rom 10:15and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'
Rom 10:16But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'
Rom 10:17so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God,
Rom 10:18but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed -- 'to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'
Rom 10:19But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, 'I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'
Rom 10:20and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, 'I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'
Rom 10:21and unto Israel He saith, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
