Romans 10:1-11

« Romans 9Romans 10Romans 11 »

Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have ^aa zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For not knowing about the ^arighteousness of God and ^bseeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For ^aChrist is the ¹end of the law for righteousness to ^beveryone who believes.

Faith Comes by Hearing

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of law: “^aThe man who does these things shall live by them.” 6 But ^athe righteousness of faith speaks in this way: “^bDo not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who will go down into the ^aabyss?’ (that is, to ^bbring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But what does it say? “^aThe word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 ¹that ^aif you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and ^bbelieve in your heart that ^cGod raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, ¹leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ²leading to salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “^aWhoever believes upon Him will not be put to shame.”
