Brothers, my heart\'s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. |
2
|
For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. |
3
|
For being ignorant of God\'s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn\'t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. |
4
|
For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. |
5
|
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them." |
6
|
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don\'t say in your heart, \'Who will ascend into heaven?\' (that is, to bring Christ down); |
7
|
or, \'Who will descend into the abyss?\' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" |
8
|
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we preach: |
9
|
that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
10
|
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. |
11
|
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed." |
12
|
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. |
13
|
For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." |
14
|
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? |
15
|
And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" |
16
|
But they didn\'t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" |
17
|
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. |
18
|
But I say, didn\'t they hear? Yes, most assuredly, "Their sound went out into all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world." |
19
|
But I ask, didn\'t Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding I will make you angry." |
20
|
Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who didn\'t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn\'t ask for me." |
21
|
But as to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people." |
