1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7“or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.” |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” |
