10:1  Brothers, my heart’s desire and petition to God for them is for their salvation.
10:2  For I testify concerning them that they have a zeal for God— but not in-accordance-with knowledge.
10:3  For being-ignorant-of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
10:4  For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness for everyone believing.
10:5  For Moses writes [in Lev 18:5] as to the righteousness of the Law that “The person having done them will live by them”.
10:6  But the righteousness of faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up into heaven?”, that is, to bring Christ down,
10:7  or “who will go down into the abyss?”, that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
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 proclaiming,
10:9  that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10:10  For it is believed with the heart resulting-in righteousness, and it is confessed with the mouth resulting in salvation.
10:11  For the Scripture says [in Isa 28:16] “everyone putting-faith upon Him will not be put-to-shame”.
10:12  For there is no distinction between both Jew and Greek— for the same Lord is Lord of all, being rich toward all the ones calling-upon Him.
10:13  For “everyone who calls-upon the name of the Lord will be saved” [Joel 2:32].
10:14  How then may they call-upon the One in Whom they did not believe? And how may they believe the One Whom they did not hear? And how may they hear without one proclaiming?
10:15  And how may they proclaim if they are not sent-forth?— just as it has been written [in Isa 52:7]: “How beautiful are the feet of the ones announcing-good-news-of good things!”
10:16  But they did not all obey the good-news, for Isaiah says [in Isa 53:1], “Lord, who put-faith-in our report?”
10:17  So the faith comes from a report-hearing, and the report-hearing through a word about Christ.
10:18  But I say— it is not that they did not hear, is it ? On the contrary: “Their voice went-out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world” [Ps 19:4].
10:19  But I say— it is not that Israel did not know, is it ? First, Moses says [in Deut 32:21] “I will provoke you to jealousy over what is not a nation. I will provoke you to anger over a nation without-understanding”.
10:20  And Isaiah is very-bold and says [in Isa 65:1] “I was found by the ones not seeking Me. I became visible to the ones not asking-for Me”.
10:21  But with-regard-to Israel He says [in Isa 65:2], “I held-out My hands the whole day toward a disobeying and contradicting people”.
