Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Romans by R F Weymouth
page 25 of 39 (64%)
required by the Law shall live by that righteousness.
010:006 But the righteousness which is based on faith speaks in a
different tone. "Say not in your heart," it declares,
"`Who shall ascend to Heaven?'"--that is, to bring Christ down;
010:007 "nor `Who shall go down into the abyss?'"--that is, to bring
Christ up again from the grave.
010:008 But what does it say? "The Message is close to you, in your
mouth and in your heart;" that is, the Message which we are
publishing about the faith--
010:009 that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in
your heart believe that God brought Him back to life,
you shall be saved.
010:010 For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness,
and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.
010:011 The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him shall have
reason to feel ashamed."
010:012 Jew and Gentile are on precisely the same footing;
for the same Lord is Lord over all, and is infinitely kind
to all who call upon Him for deliverance.
010:013 For "every one, without exception, who calls on the name
of the Lord shall be saved."
010:014 But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed?
And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have
never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
010:015 And how are men to preach unless they have been sent to do so?
As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring
glad tidings of good!"
010:016 But, some will say, they have not all hearkened to the Good News.
No, for Isaiah asks, "Lord, who has believed the Message they
have heard from us?"
