Romans 10:1-16

¹Brethren my hertes desyre and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.

²For I beare them recorde that they have a fervet mynde to God warde but not accordinge to knowledge.

³For they are ignoraunt of the rightewesnes which is alowed before God and goo about to stablisshe their awne rightewesnes and therfore are not obedient vnto the rightewesnes which is of valew before God.

⁴For Christ is the ende of the lawe to iustifie all that beleve.

⁵Moses describeth the rightewesnes which cometh of the lawe howe that the man which doth the thinges of the lawe shall lyve therin.

⁶But the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth speaketh on this wyse. Saye not in thyne hert who shall ascende into heven? (that is nothinge els then to fetch Christ doune)

⁷Other who shall descende into the depe? (that is nothinge els but to fetch vp Christ from deeth)

⁸But what sayth the scripture? The worde is nye the even in thy mouth and in thyn herte. This worde is the worde of fayth which we preache.

⁹For yf thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the lorde and shalt beleve with thyn hert that God raysed him up from deeth thou shalt be safe.

¹⁰For the belefe of the hert iustifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe.

¹¹For the scripture sayth: whosoever beleveth on him shall not be ashamed.

¹²Ther is no difference bitwene the Iewe and the gentyll. For one is Lorde of all which is ryche vnto all that call on him.

¹³For whosoever shall call on the name of the lorde shalbe safe.

¹⁴But how shall they call on him on who they beleved not? how shall they beleve on him of whom they have not herde? how shall they heare with out a preacher?

¹⁵And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written: how beautifull are the fete of them which bringe glad tydynges of peace and bringe glad tydynges of good thinges.

¹⁶But they have not all obeyed to the gospell. For Esaias sayth: Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinges?
