Romans 9:26-10:8
New American Standard Bible
26 “(A)And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of (B)the living God.”
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “(C)Though the number of the sons of Israel may be (D)like the sand of the sea, only (E)the remnant will be saved; 28 (F)for the Lord will execute His word on the earth, [a]thoroughly and [b]quickly.” 29 And just as Isaiah foretold:
“(G)If (H)the Lord [c]of armies had not left us [d](I)descendants,
(J)We would have become like Sodom, and would have [e]been like Gomorrah.”
30 (K)What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but (L)the righteousness that is [f]by faith; 31 however, Israel, (M)pursuing a law of righteousness, did not (N)arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it [g]by faith, but as though they could [h]by works. They stumbled over (O)the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written:
“(P)Behold, I am laying in Zion (Q)a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
(R)And the one who believes in Him (S)will not be [i]put to shame.”
The Word of Faith Brings Salvation
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have (T)a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about (U)God’s righteousness and (V)seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For (W)Christ is the [j]end of the Law for righteousness to (X)everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes of the righteousness that is [k]based on the Law, that the person who performs [l]them (Y)will live by [m]them. 6 But (Z)the righteousness [n]based on faith speaks as follows: “(AA)Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who will descend into the (AB)abyss?’ (that is, to (AC)bring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But what does it say? “(AD)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
