Romans 10:1-11

English Standard Version (Chapter 10)

Brothers,1 my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that bthey have a zeal for God, cbut not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of dthe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For eChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.2

Brothers my heart’s desire and prayer to God

For them is that they may be saved

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God

But not according to knowledge

For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God

Seeking to establish their own,

They did not submit to God’s righteousness

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes

English Standard Version (Chapter 10)

5 For fMoses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that gthe person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6 But hthe righteousness based on faith says, i“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down)

For Moses writes:

About the righteousness that is based on the law

That the person who does the commandments shall live by them

But the righteousness based on faith says

Do not say in your heart

Who will ascend into heaven (that is, to bring Christ down)

English Standard Version (Chapter 10)

7 “or ‘Who will descend into the jabyss?’ ” (that is, kto bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? l“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

Who will descend into the abyss:

That is, to bring Christ up from the dead

But what does it say

The word is near you

In your mouth and in your heart

That is, the word of faith that we proclaim

English Standard Version (Chapter 10)

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord:

And believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved

For with the heart one believes and is justified

And with the mouth one confesses and is saved
