1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and
prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they
have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God’s
righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have
not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the
righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things
shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of
faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into
heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the
deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word
of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all
that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him
in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom
they have not heard? and 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 that
preach the gospel 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 report?
17 So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard?
Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the
ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know?
First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are
no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and
saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto
them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day
long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying
people.
