The Righteousness of God through Faith in Christ

10 Brothers, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God on behalf of them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For ignoring the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own,[a] they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does this[b] will live by it.”[c][d] 6 But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: “Do not say in your heart,[e] ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[f] (that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or “Who will descend into the abyss?”[g] (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart”[h] (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim), 9 that[i] if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”[j] 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who is rich to all who call upon him. 13 For “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”[k]

14 How then will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him about whom they have not heard? And how will they hear about him without one who preaches to them? 15 And how will they preach, unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How timely are the feet of those who bring good news of good things.”[l] 16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”[m] 17 Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.

18 But I say, they have not heard, have they?[n] On the contrary,

“Their voice has gone out to all the earth,
    and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.”[o]

19 But I say, Israel did not know, did they?[p] First, Moses says,

“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation;
    by a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.”[q]

20 And Isaiah is very bold and says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I became known to those who did not ask for me.”[r]

21 But about Israel he says,

“The whole day long I held out my hands
    to a disobedient and resistant people.”[s]

Romarbrevet 10
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

10 (A) Bröder, mitt hjärtas önskan och min bön till Gud för dem är att de ska bli frälsta. 2 (B) Jag kan vittna om att de har en iver för Gud, men de saknar den rätta insikten. 3 (C) De känner inte rättfärdigheten från Gud utan försöker upprätta sin egen rättfärdighet, och därför har de inte underordnat sig rättfärdigheten från Gud.

4 (D) Kristus är lagens fullbordan, till rättfärdighet för var och en som tror. 5 (E) Mose skriver om den rättfärdighet som kommer av lagen: Den människa som håller buden ska leva genom dem.[a] 6 Men rättfärdigheten som kommer av tron säger: Fråga inte i ditt hjärta: Vem ska stiga upp till himlen? – alltså för att hämta ner Kristus – 7 (F) eller: Vem ska stiga ner i avgrunden? – alltså för att hämta upp Kristus från de döda.[b]

8 Vad säger den då? Ordet är nära dig, i din mun och i ditt hjärta, alltså trons ord som vi predikar. 9 (G) För om du med din mun bekänner att Jesus är Herren[c] och i ditt hjärta tror att Gud har uppväckt honom från de döda, ska du bli frälst. 10 Med hjärtat tror man och blir rättfärdig, med munnen bekänner man och blir frälst. 11 (H) Skriften säger: Ingen som tror på honom ska stå där med skam.[d] 12 (I) Här är ingen skillnad mellan jude och grek. Alla har samme Herre, och han ger av sin rikedom till alla som åkallar honom. 13 (J) Var och en som åkallar Herrens namn ska bli frälst.[e]

14 (K) Men hur ska de kunna åkalla den som de inte har kommit till tro på? Och hur ska de kunna tro på den som de inte har hört? Och hur ska de kunna höra om ingen predikar? 15 Och hur ska några kunna predika om de inte blir utsända? Som det står skrivet: Hur ljuvliga är inte stegen av dem som förkunnar det goda budskapet![f]

16 (L) Men alla ville inte rätta sig efter evangeliet. Jesaja säger: Herre, vem trodde vår predikan?[g] 17 (M) Alltså kommer tron av predikan[h] och predikan genom Kristi ord.

18 (N) Men nu frågar jag: Har de kanske inte hört? Jodå: Deras röst har gått ut över hela jorden, deras ord till världens ändar.[i]

19 Jag frågar också: Har Israel kanske inte förstått? Först säger Mose: Jag ska väcka er avund mot ett folk som inte är ett folk, mot ett folk utan förstånd ska jag väcka er vrede.[j] 20 Och Jesaja går så långt att han säger: Jag lät mig finnas av dem som inte sökte mig, jag uppenbarade mig för dem som inte frågade efter mig. 21 Men om Israel säger han: Hela dagen har jag räckt ut mina händer mot ett olydigt och trotsigt folk[k].

Romans 10
New International Version

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g](V)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[i](AA)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)

20 And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[k](AD)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l](AE)
