# Chapter 10
|
||
1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation.
|
||
2 I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
|
||
3 Since they are ignorant of the righteousness of God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness.
|
||
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes,
|
||
5 since Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.
|
||
6 But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven?” that is, to bring Christ down
|
||
7 or, “Who will go down into the abyss?” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
|
||
8 On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of faith that we proclaim:
|
||
9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
|
||
10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
|
||
11 For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame,
|
||
12 since there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all richly blesses all who call on him.
|
||
13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
|
||
14 How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher?
|
||
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.
|
||
16 But not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?
|
||
17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.
|
||
18 But I ask, “Did they not hear?” Yes, they did:
|
||
Their voice has gone out to the whole earth,
|
||
and their words to the ends of the world.
|
||
19 But I ask, “Did Israel not understand?” First, Moses said,
|
||
I will make you jealous
|
||
of those who are not a nation;
|
||
I will make you angry by a nation
|
||
that lacks understanding.
|
||
20 And Isaiah says boldly,
|
||
I was found
|
||
by those who were not looking for me;
|
||
I revealed myself
|
||
to those who were not asking for me.
|
||
21 But to Israel he says, All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and defiant people. |
