          DASV: Romans 10    

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for Israel
is that they may be saved.
2 For I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but not
according to true knowledge.
3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to
establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves
to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be
righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from
the law, "the one who does these things will live by them."
6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not
say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is,
to bring Christ down)
7 or, "'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring
Christ up from the dead.)
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth,
and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith, that we proclaim),
9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,
and will believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and so has righteousness;
and with the mouth one confesses and so is saved.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not
be put to shame."
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for
the same Lord is Lord of all, and generously blesses all
who call on him.
13 For, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved."

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not
believed? And how will they believe in him whom they
have not heard? And how will they hear without someone
preaching to them?
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just
as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those
who proclaim the good news!"

16 But not all have obeyed the good news. For Isaiah asked,
"Lord, who has believed our message?"
17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard
comes by the word of Christ.
18 But I ask, did they not hear? Yes, of course,
      "Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
           and their words to the ends of the world."
19 But I ask, did Israel not know? First, Moses says,
      "I will provoke you to jealousy with those who are not a nation,
           with a nation lacking understanding I will make you angry."
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and says,
      "I was found by those who did not seek me;
           I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."
21 But about Israel he says,
      "All the day long I spread out my hands
           to a disobedient and rebellious people."
