Brethren, my
heart's
desire
and
prayer
to
God
for
Israel
is
, that
they might be saved
.
For I bear
them
record
that
they have
a zeal
of God
, but
not
according
to knowledge
.
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
.
For Christ
is the end
of the law
for
righteousness
to every one
that believeth
.
For Moses
describeth
the righteousness
which
is of
the law
, That
the man
which doeth
those things
shall live
by
them
.
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 :)
Or, Who
shall descend
into
the deep
? (that is
, to bring up
Christ
again
from
the dead
.)
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
;
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
.
For with the heart
man believeth
unto
righteousness
; and
with the mouth
confession is made
unto
salvation
.
For the scripture
saith
, Whosoever
believeth
on
him
shall
not
be ashamed
.
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
.
For whosoever
shall call upon
the name
of the Lord
shall be saved
.
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
?
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
!
But they have
not
all
obeyed
the gospel
. For
Esaias
saith
, Lord
, who
hath believed
our
report
?
So then faith
cometh by
hearing
, and
hearing
by
the word
of God
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
But to
Israel
he saith
, All
day long
I have stretched forth
my
hands
unto
a disobedient
and
gainsaying
people
.
