Romans 9:30-10:13
New American Standard Bible
30 (A)What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but (B)the righteousness that is [a]by faith; 31 however, Israel, (C)pursuing a law of righteousness, did not (D)arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it [b]by faith, but as though they could [c]by works. They stumbled over (E)the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written:
“(F)Behold, I am laying in Zion (G)a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
(H)And the one who believes in Him (I)will not be [d]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 (J)a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about (K)God’s righteousness and (L)seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For (M)Christ is the [e]end of the Law for righteousness to (N)everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes of the righteousness that is [f]based on the Law, that the person who performs [g]them (O)will live by [h]them. 6 But (P)the righteousness [i]based on faith speaks as follows: “(Q)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 (R)abyss?’ (that is, to (S)bring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But what does it say? “(T)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 [j]that (U)if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and (V)believe in your heart that (W)God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, [k]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, [l]resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “(X)Whoever believes in Him will not be [m]put to shame.” 12 For (Y)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is (Z)Lord of (AA)all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for “(AB)Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
