Romans 10:1-16

¹Brethren, the will of mine heart and my beseeching is made to God for them into health.

²But I bear witnessing to them, that they have the love of God, but not after knowing.

³For they unknowing God’s right-wiseness, and seeking to make steadfast their own rightwiseness, be not subject to the rightwiseness of God.

⁴For the end of the law is Christ, to rightwiseness to each man that believeth.

⁵For Moses wrote, For the man that shall do rightwiseness that is of the law, shall live in it.

⁶But the rightwiseness that is of belief, saith thus, Say thou not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is to say, to lead down Christ;

⁷or who shall go down into hell? that is, to again-call Christ from death. +or who shall go down into deep-ness, or into depth? that is, to again-call Christ from the dead.

⁸But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh in thy mouth, and in thine heart; this is the word of belief, which we preach.

⁹That if thou acknowledge in thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believest in thine heart, that God raised him from death, thou shalt be safe.

¹⁰For by heart me or men believeth to rightwiseness, but by mouth acknowledging is made to health.

¹¹For why the scripture saith, Each that believeth in him, shall not be confounded.

¹²And there is no distinction of Jew and of Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich into all, that inwardly call him.

¹³For each man, whoever shall inwardly call the name of the Lord, shall be safe.

¹⁴How then shall they inwardly call him, into whom they have not believed? or how shall they believe to him, whom they have not heard? How shall they hear, without a preacher?

¹⁵and how shall they preach, but they be sent? As it is written, How fair be the feet of them that preach or evangelize peace, of them that preach good things.

¹⁶But not all men obey to the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who believed to our hearing?
