Romans 10

Israel and the word of faith

English onlyRead it word by word

Rm 10:1Frātrēs, voluntās quidem cordis meī, et obsecrātiō ad Deum, fit prō illīs in salūtem.Brothers, the will of my heart indeed, and my entreaty to God, is made for them unto salvation. Rm 10:2Testimōnium enim perhibeō illīs quod aemulātiōnem Deī habent, sed nōn secundum scientiam.For I bear testimony to them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Rm 10:3Ignōrantēs enim jūstitiam Deī, et suam quaerentēs statuere, jūstitiae Deī nōn sunt subjectī.For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not been subject to the justice of God. Rm 10:4Fīnis enim lēgis, Chrīstus, ad jūstitiam omnī crēdentī.For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice for everyone believing. Rm 10:5Mōysēs enim scrīpsit, quoniam jūstitiam, quae ex lēge est, quī fēcerit homō, vīvet in eā.For Moses wrote that the man who has done the justice which is from the law, will live in it. Rm 10:6Quae autem ex fidē est jūstitia, sīc dīcit: Nē dīxerīs in corde tuō: Quis ascendet in caelum?But the justice which is from faith speaks thus: "Do not say in your heart: 'Who will go up into heaven?'"

Rm 10:6Id est, Chrīstum dēdūcere: aut, Quis dēscendet in abyssum?That is, to bring Christ down: or, "Who will go down into the abyss?" Rm 10:7Hoc est, Chrīstum ā mortuīs revocāre.That is, to call Christ back from the dead. Rm 10:8Sed quid dīcit Scrīptūra?But what does Scripture say? Rm 10:8Prope est verbum in ōre tuō, et in corde tuō: hoc est verbum fideī, quod praedicāmus."Near is the word, in your mouth, and in your heart": this is the word of faith, which we preach. Rm 10:9Quia sī cōnfiteāris in ōre tuō Dominum Jēsum, et in corde tuō crēdiderīs quod Deus illum suscitāvit ā mortuīs, salvus eris.Because if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be safe. Rm 10:10Corde enim crēditur ad jūstitiam: ōre autem cōnfessiō fit ad salūtem.For with the heart there is believing unto justice: but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rm 10:11Dīcit enim Scrīptūra: Omnis quī crēdit in illum, nōn cōnfundētur.For Scripture says: "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." Rm 10:12Nōn enim est distīnctiō Jūdaeī et Graecī: nam īdem Dominus omnium, dīves in omnēs quī invocant illum.For there is no distinction of Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich towards all who call upon him.

Rm 10:13Omnis enim quīcumque invocāverit nōmen Dominī, salvus erit.For everyone, whoever has called upon the name of the Lord, will be safe. Rm 10:14Quōmodo ergō invocābunt, in quem nōn crēdidērunt?How then will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? Rm 10:14Aut quōmodo crēdent eī, quem nōn audiērunt?Or how will they believe him whom they have not heard? Rm 10:14Quōmodo autem audient sine praedicante?And how will they hear without one preaching? Rm 10:15Quōmodo vērō praedicābunt nisi mittantur?And how will they preach unless they are sent? Rm 10:15Sīcut scrīptum est: Quam speciōsī pedēs ēvangelizantium pācem, ēvangelizantium bona!Just as it has been written: "How beautiful are the feet of those bringing good news of peace, bringing good news of good things!" Rm 10:16Sed nōn omnēs obēdiunt Evangeliō.But not all obey the Gospel. Rm 10:16Isaiās enim dīcit: Domine, quis crēdidit audītuī nostrō?For Isaiah says: "Lord, who has believed our hearing?" Rm 10:17Ergō fidēs ex audītū, audītus autem per verbum Chrīstī.Therefore faith is from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Rm 10:18Sed dīcō: Numquid nōn audiērunt?But I say: Have they not heard?

Rm 10:18Et quidem in omnem terram exīvit sonus eōrum, et in fīnēs orbis terrae verba eōrum.And indeed into all the earth their sound has gone out, and into the ends of the round world their words. Rm 10:19Sed dīcō: Numquid Isrāël nōn cognōvit?But I say: Has Israel not known? Rm 10:19Prīmus Mōysēs dīcit: Ego ad aemulātiōnem vōs addūcam in nōn gentem: in gentem īnsipientem, in īram vōs mittam.First Moses says: "I will lead you to rivalry with a non-nation: with an unwise nation I will send you into anger." Rm 10:20Isaiās autem audet, et dīcit: Inventus sum ā nōn quaerentibus mē: palam appāruī iīs quī mē nōn interrogābant.But Isaiah dares, and says: "I have been found by those not seeking me: openly I have appeared to those who were not asking for me." Rm 10:21Ad Isrāël autem dīcit: Tōta diē expandī manūs meās ad populum nōn crēdentem, et contrādīcentem.But to Israel he says: "All the day I have spread out my hands to a people not believing, and speaking against me."
