Romans 10

Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

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.

For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”

10:13 Joel 2:32

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?

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!”
