Romans

1 Brethren, my heart's de­sire and prayer to God for Is­rael is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not ac­cord­ing to knowl­edge. 3 For they be­ing ig­no­rant of God's righ­teous­ness, and go­ing about to es­tab­lish their own righ­teous­ness, have not sub­mit­ted them­selves unto the righ­teous­ness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righ­teous­ness to ev­ery one that be­lieveth. 5 For Moses de­scri­beth the righ­teous­ness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righ­teous­ness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall as­cend into heav­en? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall de­scend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt con­fess with thy mouth the Lord Je­sus, and shalt be­lieve in thine heart that God hath 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 ashamed. 12 For there is no dif­fer­ence be­tween the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all 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 be­lieve in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear with­out a preach­er? 15 And how shall they preach, ex­cept they be sent? as it is writ­ten, How beau­ti­ful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tid­ings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esa­ias saith, Lord, who hath be­lieved our re­port? 17 So then faith cometh by hear­ing, and hear­ing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes ver­i­ly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Is­rael know? First Moses saith, I will pro­voke you to jeal­ousy by them that are no peo­ple, and by a fool­ish na­tion I will anger you. 20 But Esa­ias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made man­i­fest unto them that asked not af­ter me. 21 But to Is­rael he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a dis­obe­di­ent and gain­say­ing peo­ple.
