羅馬書 10
1 弟兄們，我心裏所渴望的和向上帝所求的，是要以色列人得救。 2 我為他們作證，他們對上帝有熱心，但不是按著真知識。 3 因為不明白上帝的義，想要立自己的義，他們就不服上帝的義了。 4 律法的總結就是基督，使所有信他的人都得著義。
求告主名的必定得救
5 論到出於律法的義，摩西寫著：「行這些事的人，就必因此得生。」 6 但出於信的義卻如此說：「你不要心裏說：誰要升到天上去呢？（就是說，把基督領下來。） 7 或說：誰要下到陰間去呢？（就是說，把基督從死人中領上來。）」 8 他到底怎麼說呢？ 「這話語就離你近， 就在你口中，在你心裏，」 （就是說，我們傳揚所信的話語。）
9 你若口裏宣認耶穌為主，心裏信上帝叫他從死人中復活，就必得救。 10 因為，人心裏信就可以稱義，口裏宣認就可以得救。 11 經上說：「凡信靠他的人必不蒙羞。」 12 猶太人和希臘人並沒有分別，因為人人都有同一位主，他也厚待求告他的每一個人。 13 因為「凡求告主名的就必得救」。 14 然而，人未曾信他，怎能求告他呢？未曾聽見他，怎能信他呢？沒有傳道的，怎能聽見呢？ 15 若沒有奉差遣，怎能傳道呢？如經上所記：「報福音、傳喜信的人，他們的腳蹤何等佳美！」 16 但不是每一個人都聽從福音，因為以賽亞說：「主啊，我們所傳的有誰信呢？」 17 可見，信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。 18 但我要問，人沒有聽見嗎？當然聽見了。 「他們的聲音傳遍全地； 他們的言語傳到地極。」
19 我再問，以色列人不知道嗎？先有摩西說： 「我要以不成國的激起你們嫉妒； 我要以愚頑的國惹起你們發怒。」
20 又有以賽亞放膽說： 「沒有尋找我的，我要讓他們尋見； 沒有求問我的，我要向他們顯現。」
21 關於以色列人，他說：「我整天向那悖逆頂嘴的百姓招手。」
ROMANS 10
1 Dear friends, my greatest wish and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know they love God, but they don't understand 3 what makes people acceptable to him. So they refuse to trust God, and they try to be acceptable by obeying the Law.
4 But Christ makes the Law no longer necessaryt for those who become acceptable to God by faith.Anyone Can Be Saved
5 t Moses said a person could become acceptable to God by obeying the Law. He did this when he wrote, “If you want to live, you must do all the Law commands.”
6 t But people whose faith makes them acceptable to God will never ask, “Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?”
7 Neither will they ask, “Who will go down into the world of the dead to raise him to life?”
8 All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, “The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.” And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death.
10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.
11 t The Scriptures say no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12 no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to everyone who asks for his help.
13 t All who call out to the Lord will be saved.
14 How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them? 15 t And how can anyone tell them without being sent by the Lord? The Scriptures say it is a beautiful sight to see even the feet of someone coming to preach the good news.
16 t Yet not everyone has believed the message. For example, the prophet Isaiah asked, “Lord, has anyone believed what we said?”
17 No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ.
18 t But am I saying that the people of Israel did not hear? No, I am not! The Scriptures say,
“The message was told
everywhere on earth.
It was announced
all over the world.”
19 t Did the people of Israel understand or not? Moses answered this question when he told that the Lord had said,
“I will make Israel jealous
of people
who are a nation
of nobodies.
I will make them angry
with people
who don't understand
a thing.”
20 t Isaiah was fearless enough to tell that the Lord had said,
“I was found by people
who were not looking
for me.
I appeared to the ones
who were not asking
about me.”
21 t And Isaiah said about the people of Israel,
“All day long the Lord
has reached out
to people who are stubborn
and refuse to obey.”
