¹ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Cross refs

² For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Cross refs

⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. Cross refs

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:) Cross refs

⁷ Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) Cross refs

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; Cross refs

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. Cross refs

¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Cross refs

¹¹ For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Cross refs

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? Cross refs

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! Cross refs

¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? Cross refs

¹⁷ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

²¹ But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. Cross refs
