| 1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. |
|
| 2 For I bear them witness 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, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. |
|
| 4 For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to everyone that believeth. |
|
| 5 For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. |
|
| 6 But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) |
|
| 7 or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) |
|
| 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: |
|
| 9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: |
|
| 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. |
|
| 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. |
|
| 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto 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 hear without a preacher? |
|
| 15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! |
|
| 16 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? |
|
| 17 So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. |
|
18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, truly,Their sound went out into all the earth,
And their words unto the ends of the world.
|
|
19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith,
I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,
With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
|
|
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith,
I was found of them that sought me not;
I became manifest unto them that asked not of me. |
|
| 21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. |
