KJ3 Literal Translation
Romans 10
1 The scripture shows the difference between the righteousness of the law, and of faith, 11 and that all, both the Jew and anyone of the nations that believe, shall not be confounded.
1Brothers, truly my heart’s pleasure and supplication to God on behalf of Israel is unto salvation.
2For I testify to them that they have zeal to God, but not according to knowledge.
3For not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
4For the end of the law is Christ for righteousness to everyone that believes.
5For Moses writes of the righteousness which is of the Law: “The man doing these things shall live by them.” Lev. 18:5
6But the righteousness of faith says this: “Do not say in your heart, Who will go up into Heaven?” (that is, to bring down Christ);
7or, “Who will go down into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)
8But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the Word of faith which we proclaim) Deuteronomy 30:12-14.
9Because if you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
11For the Scripture says, “Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.” Isa. 28:16
12For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich toward all the ones calling on Him.
13For every one, “whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Joel 2:32
14How then may they call on One into whom they have not believed? And how may they believe One of whom they have not heard? And how may they hear without preaching?
15And how may they preach if they are not sent? Even as it is written, “How beautiful” “the feet of the ones preaching the gospel of peace, of the ones preaching the gospel of good things.” Isa. 52:7
16But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Isa. 53:1
17Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
18But I say, Did they not hear? Nay, rather, “into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words.” LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
19But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, by an undiscerning nation I will anger you.” Deut. 32:21
20But Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by the ones not seeking Me; I became manifest to the ones not inquiring after Me.” Isa. 65:1
21But to Israel He says, “All the day I stretched out My hands to a disobeying and contradicting people.” Isa. 65:2
