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)

Romani 10
Nuova Riveduta 2006

10 (A)Fratelli, il desiderio del mio cuore e la mia preghiera a Dio per loro[a] è che siano salvati. 2 Io rendo loro testimonianza infatti che hanno zelo per Dio, ma zelo senza conoscenza. 3 Perché, ignorando la giustizia di Dio e cercando di stabilire la propria {giustizia}, non si sono sottomessi alla giustizia di Dio; 4 poiché Cristo è il termine della legge, per la giustificazione di tutti coloro che credono.

5 Infatti Mosè descrive così la giustizia che viene dalla legge: «L’uomo che farà quelle cose e vivrà per esse»[b]. 6 Invece la giustizia che viene dalla fede dice così: «Non dire in cuor tuo: “Chi salirà in cielo?” (questo è farne scendere Cristo), né: 7 “Chi scenderà nell’abisso?” (questo è far risalire Cristo dai morti)». 8 Che cosa dice invece? «La parola è vicino a te, nella tua bocca e nel tuo cuore»[c]. Questa è la parola della fede che noi annunciamo; 9 perché, se con la bocca avrai confessato Gesù come Signore e avrai creduto con il cuore che Dio lo ha risuscitato dai morti, sarai salvato; 10 infatti con il cuore si crede per ottenere la giustizia e con la bocca si fa confessione per essere salvati. 11 Difatti la Scrittura dice: «Chiunque crede in lui, non sarà deluso»[d].

12 Poiché non c’è distinzione tra Giudeo e Greco, essendo egli lo stesso Signore di tutti, ricco verso tutti quelli che lo invocano. 13 Infatti chiunque avrà invocato il nome del Signore sarà salvato[e].

14 (B)Ora, come invocheranno colui nel quale non hanno creduto? E come crederanno in colui del quale non hanno sentito parlare? E come potranno sentirne parlare, se non c’è chi lo annunci? 15 E come annunceranno se non sono mandati? Com’è scritto:

«Quanto sono belli i piedi di quelli che annunciano [la pace, che annunciano] buone notizie!»[f]

16 Ma non tutti hanno ubbidito alla buona notizia; Isaia infatti dice:

«Signore, chi ha creduto alla nostra predicazione?»[g]

17  Così la fede viene da ciò che si ascolta, e ciò che si ascolta viene dalla parola di Cristo[h].

18  Ma io dico: forse non hanno udito? Anzi,

la loro voce è andata per tutta la terra e le loro parole fino agli estremi confini del mondo[i].

19 Allora dico: forse Israele non ha compreso? Mosè per primo dice: «Io vi renderò gelosi con una nazione che non è nazione; provocherò il vostro sdegno con una nazione senza intelligenza»[j]. 20 Isaia poi osa affermare:

«Sono stato trovato da quelli che non mi cercavano; mi sono manifestato a quelli che non chiedevano di me».

21 Ma riguardo a Israele afferma:

«Tutto il giorno ho teso le mani verso un popolo disubbidiente e contestatore»[k].

Romans 10
World English Bible

10 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the fulfillment[a] of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”(A) 6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’(B) (that is, to bring Christ down); 7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’(C) (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;”(D) that is, the word of faith which we preach: 9 that if you will confess with your mouth that 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 confession is made resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”(E)

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”(F) 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? 15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace,
    who bring glad tidings of good things!”(G)

16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”(H) 17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly,

“Their sound went out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”(I)

19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says,

“I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation.
    I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”(J)

20 Isaiah is very bold and says,

“I was found by those who didn’t seek me.
    I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”(K)

21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”(L)
