This is Romans 10:1–21 from the New Testament, presented as a parallel critical edition in three columns: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate. The passage belongs to the Pauline epistolary tradition and forms part of Paul's extended argument about Israel and salvation in Romans 9–11. Paul's central theological claim is that Christ is the *telos* (end/goal) of the Mosaic Law, making righteousness available to all who believe rather than to those who perform the Law's works. He contrasts two kinds of righteousness — one earned through legal observance, one received through faith — and articulates the mechanism of salvation as confession of Jesus as Lord combined with heart-belief in the resurrection. Notably, Paul insists there is no distinction between Jew and Greek before this same Lord. The passage then develops a chain-logic argument for missionary preaching: salvation requires calling on God, which requires belief, which requires hearing, which requires a preacher, which requires being sent — grounding the urgency of the gospel mission. Paul closes by citing Moses and Isaiah to argue that Israel's failure to embrace this message was foretold in their own scriptures, and that God's offer has already reached the Gentiles. The parallel-text format makes this a scholarly resource for comparing manuscript traditions and translation choices across the Greek, Latin, and early modern English witnesses.
