Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.

For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge.

For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.

For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth.

For Moses thus describeth the righteousnes which is of the Lawe, That the man which doeth these things, shall liue thereby.

For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued:

For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.

For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.

For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian: for he that is Lorde ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him.

For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.

But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?

I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.

And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.

For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?

For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.

And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.

For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.

And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.

For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, & wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?
