Romans 10:2–9

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

    3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

    4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

    27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

    9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

    10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

    11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

    12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

    13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

    14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

10:2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Selected passage

10:3For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Selected passage

10:4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Selected passage

10:5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

Selected passage

10:6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Selected passage

10:7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

Selected passage

10:8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Selected passage

10:9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Selected passage

10:10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

10:11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

10:12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

10:13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

10:14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

10:15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

10:16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

10:17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

10:18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

10:19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

10:20But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

10:21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
