1 MY brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Is’ra-el is that they might be saved. Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
2 For I can testify for them that there is in them a zeal for God, but not according to the true knowledge. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
3 For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness, and because of this, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one who believes. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes of the righteousness of the law thus: Whoever shall do these things shall live by them. For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith, says thus: Do not say in your heart, Who has ascended to heaven, and brought Christ down to earth? But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 And who has descended into the abyss of Sheol and brought up Christ from the dead? “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 But what does it say? The answer is near to you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; But 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); But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
9 So if you will confess with your mouth our LORD Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. because, 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. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For the heart which believes in him, shall be declared righteous, and the mouth that confesses him shall live. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
12 And in this, it does not discriminate between the Jews and the Syrians: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all who call upon him. For 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. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
13 For whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then can they call on him on whom they have not believed? Or how can they believe on him whom they have never heard? Or how can they hear without a preacher? How 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? How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
15 Or how can they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written, How becoming are the feet of those who preach peace, and of those who bring good tidings. And 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!” And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
16 For all have not heard the preaching of the gospel. For Isaiah said, My LORD, who has believed the echoes of our voice? But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? And behold the echoes of their voices have gone out over all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. But 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.” But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses spoke thus, I will provoke you to jealousy by a people that are not my people, and I will make you angry by a reckless people. But 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.” Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, “I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”
20 Then Isaiah dared, and said, I appeared to those who did not seek me, and was found by those who did not ask for me. Then 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.” And Isaiah boldly says, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21 But to Israel he said, All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a quarrelsome and disobedient people. But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.” But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
