Romans - Chapter 10

	Rom 10:1	Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for {their} salvation.
	Rom 10:2	For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
	Rom 10:3	For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
	Rom 10:4	For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
	Rom 10:5	For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.
	Rom 10:6	But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down),
	Rom 10:7	or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead)."
	Rom 10:8	But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
	Rom 10:9	that if you confess with your mouth Jesus {as} Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
	Rom 10:10	for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
	Rom 10:11	For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
	Rom 10:12	For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same {Lord} is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
	Rom 10:13	for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
	Rom 10:14	How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?
	Rom 10:15	How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"
	Rom 10:16	However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"
	Rom 10:17	So faith {comes} from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
	Rom 10:18	But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."
	Rom 10:19	But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, "I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU."
	Rom 10:20	And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."
	Rom 10:21	But as for Israel He says, "ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."
