¹ Brothers, 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 righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.⁴ For Christ is the end of the law to righteousness to every one that believes.⁵ For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man who does those things shall live by them.⁶ But the righteousness which is of faith says thus, Don't say in your 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 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 because if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:¹⁰ for with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.¹¹ For the scripture says, Whoever believes 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 to all that call on him:¹³ for, Whoever shall call on 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 believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?¹⁵ and how shall they preach, except they be sent? according to as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those that bring glad tidings of good things!¹⁶ But they did not all listen to the glad tidings. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?¹⁷ So belief [comes] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.¹⁸ But I say, Is it the case that they have not heard? On the contrary, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.¹⁹ But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding I will anger you.²⁰ And Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found by those that did not seek me; I became manifest to those that did not ask of me.²¹ But as to Israel he says, All the day long I spread out my hands to a disobedient and opposing people.
