Chapter 10 of Romans—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ Brothers, the goodwill of my heart and my supplication to God for them are, indeed, for their salvation.1
  2. For I bear them witness[a] that they have a zeal2 for God; but not according to accurate knowledge;3
  3. for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God4 but seeking to establish their own,5 they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.6
  4. For Christ is the end[b] of the Law,7 so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.8
  5. ¶ For Moses writes that the man that has done the righteousness of the Law will live by it.9
  6. But the righteousness resulting from faith speaks in this manner: “Do not say in your heart,10 ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’11 that is, to bring Christ12 down;
  7. or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’13 that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.”14
  8. But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your own mouth and in your own heart”;15 that is, the “word”16 of faith, which we are preaching.[c]17
  9. For if you publicly declare that ‘word in your own mouth,’18 that Jesus is Lord,[d]19 and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead,20 you will be saved.21
  10. For with the heart22 one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration23 for salvation.
  11. ¶ For the Scripture says: “None that rests24 his faith on him will be disappointed.”[e]25
  12. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek,26 for there is the same Lord over all, who is rich27 to all those calling upon him.
  13. For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah[f] will be saved.”28
  14. However, how will they call on him in whom they have not put faith?29 How, in turn, will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach?30
  15. How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent forth?31 Just as it is written: “How comely are the feet of those who declare good news of good things!”32
  16. ¶ Nevertheless, they did not all obey the good news.33 For Isaiah says: “Jehovah,[g] who put faith in the thing heard from us?”34
  17. So faith follows the thing heard.35 In turn the thing heard is through the word about Christ.[h]36
  18. Nevertheless I ask, They did not fail to hear, did they? Why, in fact, “into all the earth their sound went out,37 and to the extremities[i] of the inhabited earth[j] their utterances.”38
  19. Nevertheless I ask, Israel did not fail to know, did they?39 First Moses says: “I will incite YOU people to jealousy through that which is not a nation; I will incite YOU to violent anger through a stupid nation.”40
  20. But Isaiah becomes very bold and says: “I was found by those who were not seeking me;41 I became manifest to those who were not asking for me.”42
  21. But as respects Israel he says: “All day long I have spread out my hands toward a people that is disobedient43 and talks back.”44

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
