Romans 10

Reading Romans chapter 10 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.

Verses 1–10

1 Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is--for salvation;

2 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

5 for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,'

6 and 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?

7 or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.

8 But 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;

9 that 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,

10 for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;
