Romans 10

1 After that he delareth his zeal toward them, 3 He sheweth the cause of the ruin of the Jews. 4 The end of the Law. 5 The difference between the justice of the Law, and of faith. 17 Whereof faith cometh, and to whom it belongeth. 19 The rejection of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles.
1.Brethren, mine heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2.For I bear them record, that they have athe zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3.For they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
4.*For Christ is the bend of the Law for righteousness unto everyone that believeth.
5.For Moses thus describeth the righteousness which is of the Law, *That the man which doeth these things, shall live thereby.
6.But the righteousness which is of faith, speaketh on this wise, c*Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is to bring Christ from above)
7.Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is to bring Christ again from the dead)
8.But what saith it? *The word is near thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the dword of faith which we preach.
9.For if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with ethe mouth man confesseth to salvation.
11.For the Scripture saith, *Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.
12.For there is no difference between the Jew and the Grecian: for he that is Lord over all, is rich unto all, that call on him.
13.*For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saved.
14.*But how shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? & how shall they hear without a preacher?
15.And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, *How beautiful are the ^feet of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16.But they have not all obeyed the Gospel: for Esaias saith, *Lord, who hath believed our freport?
17.Then faith is by hearing, & hearing gby the word of God.
18.But I demand, Have hthey not heard? *No doubt their isound went out through all the earth, and their words into the ends of the kworld.
19.But I demand, Did not Israel know God? First Moses saith, *I will provoke you to envy by a nation that is not my nation, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20.*And Esaias is bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not, and have been made manifest to them that asked not after me.
21.And unto Israel he saith, *All the day long have I stretched forth mine hand unto a ^disobedient, and gainsaying people.

Because we can not perform the Law, it makes us to doubt, who shall go to heaven & to say, Who shall go down to the deep to deliver us thence, but faith teaches us that Christ is ascended up to take us with him & hath descended into the depth of death to destroy death, & deliver us.
