1Brethren[G80], my[G1699] heart's desire[G2107]and[G2532]prayer[G1162]to[G4314]God[G2316]for[G5228]Israel[G2474]is[G2076], that[G3303] they might be saved[G4991].
2For[G1063] I bear[G3140]them[G846]record[G3140]that[G3754] they have[G2192] a zeal[G2205] of God[G2316], but[G235]not[G3756]according[G2596] to knowledge[G1922].
3For[G1063] they being ignorant[G50] of God[G2316]'s righteousness[G1343], and[G2532] going about[G2212] to establish[G2476] their own[G2398]righteousness[G1343], have[G5293]not[G3756] submitted themselves[G5293] unto the righteousness[G1343] of God[G2316].
4For[G1063]Christ[G5547] is the end[G5056] of the law[G3551]for[G1519]righteousness[G1343] to every one[G3956] that believeth[G4100].
5For[G1063]Moses[G3475]describeth[G1125] the righteousness[G1343]which[G3588] is of[G1537] the law[G3551], That[G3754] the man[G444]which[G3588]doeth[G4160] those things[G846] shall live[G2198]by[G1722]them[G846].
6But[G1161] the righteousness[G1343] which is[G5123]of[G1537]faith[G4102]speaketh[G3004] on this wise[G3779], Say[G2036]not[G3361]in[G1722]thine[G4675]heart[G2588], Who[G5101] shall ascend[G305]into[G1519] heaven?(that is[G5123], to bring[G2609]Christ[G5547]down[G2609] from above:)
7Or[G2228], Who[G5101] shall descend[G2597]into[G1519] the deep?(that is[G5123], to bring up[G321]Christ[G5547]again[G321]from[G1537] the dead[G3498].)
8But[G235]what[G5101] saith it?[G3004] The word[G4487]is[G2076]nigh[G1451]thee[G4675], even in[G1722]thy[G4675]mouth[G4750], and[G2532]in[G1722]thy[G4675]heart[G2588]: that is[G5123], the word[G4487] of faith[G4102], which[G3739] we preach[G2784];
9That[G3754]if[G1437] thou shalt confess[G3670]with[G1722]thy[G4675]mouth[G4750] the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424], and[G2532] shalt believe[G4100]in[G1722]thine[G4675]heart[G2588]that[G3754]God[G2316] hath raised[G1453]him[G846]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], thou shalt be saved[G4982].
10For[G1063] with the heart[G2588] man believeth[G4100]unto[G1519]righteousness[G1343]; and[G1161] with the mouth[G4750] confession is made[G3670]unto[G1519]salvation[G4991].
11For[G1063] the scripture[G1124]saith[G3004], Whosoever[G3956]believeth[G4100]on[G1909]him[G846]shall[G2617]not[G3756] be ashamed[G2617].
12For[G1063] there is[G2076]no[G3756]difference[G1293]between[G5037] the Jew[G2453]and[G2532] the Greek[G1672]: for[G1063] the same[G846]Lord[G2962] over all[G3956]is[G2076]rich[G4147]unto[G1519]all[G3956] that call upon[G1941]him[G846].
13For[G3956]whosoever[G3739] shall call upon[G1941] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962] shall be saved[G4982].
14How[G4459]then[G3767] shall they call on[G1941] him in[G1519]whom[G3739] they have[G4100]not[G3756]believed?[G4100]and[G1161]how[G4459] shall they believe in[G4100] him of whom[G3739] they have[G191]not[G3756]heard?[G191]and[G1161]how[G4459] shall they hear[G191]without[G5565] a preacher?[G2784]
15And[G1161]how[G4459] shall they preach[G2784], except[G3362] they be sent?[G649]as[G2531] it is written[G1125], How[G5613]beautiful[G5611] are the feet of them[G4228] that preach[G2784] the gospel[G2097] of peace[G1515], and[G1161] bring glad tidings[G2097] of good things[G18]!
16But[G235] they have[G5219]not[G3756]all[G3956]obeyed[G5219] the gospel[G2098]. For[G1063]Esaias[G2268]saith[G3004], Lord[G2962], who[G5101] hath believed[G4100]our[G2257]report?[G189]
17
So then[G686]faith[G4102] cometh by[G1537]hearing[G189], and[G1161]hearing[G189]by[G1223] the word[G4487] of God[G2316].
18But[G235] I say[G3004], Have[G191] they not[G3378]heard?[G191] Yes verily[G3304], their[G846]sound[G5353]went[G1831]into[G1519]all[G3956] the earth[G1093], and[G2532]their[G846]words[G4487]unto[G1519] the ends[G4009] of the world[G3625].
19But[G235]I[G1473]say[G3004], Did[G1097]not[G3378]Israel[G2474]know?[G1097]First[G4413]Moses[G3475]saith[G3004], I[G1473] will provoke[G3863]you[G5209] to jealousy[G3863]by[G1909] them that are no[G3756]people[G1484], and by[G1909] a foolish[G801]nation[G1484]I[G1473] will anger[G3949]you[G5209].
20But[G1161]Esaias[G2268] is very bold[G662], and[G2532]saith[G3004], I was found[G2147] of them that sought[G2212]me[G1691]not[G3361]; I was made[G1096]manifest[G1717] unto them that asked[G1905]not[G3361]after[G1905]me[G1691].
21But[G1161]to[G4314]Israel[G2474] he saith[G3004], All[G3650] day long[G2250] I have stretched forth[G1600]my[G3450]hands[G5495]unto[G4314] a disobedient[G544]and[G2532]gainsaying[G483]people[G2992].
