Romans 10
KJV Easy Read Bible

Israel Needs the Gospel

1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.   fervor and/or enthusiasm for

3For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.   secure, ensure

4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.

5For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.   LEV 18:5

6But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)   DEU 30:12–14

7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8But what says it? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;   DEU 30:14

9That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

11For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on Him shall not be ashamed.   ISA 49:23 | disappointed

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon Him.

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.   JOEL 2:32

Israel Rejects the Gospel

14How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!   ISA 52:7

16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report.   ISA 53:1 | message

17So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.   PS 19:4 | truly

19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke youp to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger youp.   DEU 32:21

20But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought Me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not after Me.   ISA 65:1–2 | known

21But to Israel He says, All day long I have stretched forth My hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.   ISA 65:2 | argumentative, oppositional, back-talking
