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 to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believed. 5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks 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 said it? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. 11 For the Scripture said, Whosoever believed 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 to 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 Isaiah said, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith comes 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 to the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses said, I will provoke you to jealousy, by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Isaiah is very bold, and said, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not after, me. 21 But to Israel he said, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.
