ULT ROM Chapter 10

10 Brothers, the good pleasure of my heart and my prayer to God is on behalf of them for salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to full knowledge. 3 For not knowing about the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the completion of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The man having done these things will live by it.” 6 But the righteousness by faith says thus, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down); 7 or, “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from dead ones). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.”

This is the word of faith, which we proclaim. 9 For if with your mouth you confess, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from dead ones, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses to salvation. 11 For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is of all, being rich to all the ones calling on him. 13 For “all, whoever calls on the name of the Lord, will be saved.” 14 How then would they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how would they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how would they hear without someone preaching? 15 And how would they preach, unless they would be sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of the ones proclaiming good news of good things!”

16 But not all of them obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So this faith is by hearing, and this hearing through the word of Christ.[fn] 18 But I say, “Did they certainly not hear?” Yes, indeed.

“Their sound went out into all the earth,

and their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, “Did Israel certainly not know?” First Moses says,

“I myself will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation;

by means of a senseless nation, I will provoke you to anger.”

20 Now Isaiah is very bold, and he says,

“I was found by the ones not seeking me;

I appeared to the ones not asking for me.”

21 But to Israel he says, “The whole day I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradictory people.”

Instead of Christ, some ancient manuscripts read God.
