Brethren, myheart's desireandprayertoGodforIsraelis, that they might be saved. ForI bear them recordthatthey havea zealof God, butnotaccordingto knowledge. Forthey being ignorantof God's righteousness, andgoing aboutto establishtheir ownrighteousness, have notsubmitted themselvesunto therighteousnessof God. ForChrist is the endof the lawforrighteousnessto every onethat believeth. ForMosesdescribeththerighteousnesswhichis ofthelaw, Thatthemanwhich doeththose thingsshall livebythem. Buttherighteousnesswhich is offaithspeakethon this wise, Saynotinthineheart, Whoshall ascendintoheaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above :) Or, Whoshall descendintothedeep? (that is, to bring up Christ againfromthe dead.) Butwhatsaithit? Thewordisnighthee, even inthymouth, andinthyheart: that is, thewordof faith, whichwe preach; Thatifthou shalt confesswiththymouththe LordJesus, andshalt believeinthineheartthatGodhath raisedhimfromthe dead, thou shalt be saved. Forwith the heartman believethuntorighteousness; andwith the mouthconfession is madeuntosalvation. FortheScripturesaith, Whosoeverbelievethonhimshall notbe ashamed. Forthere isnodifferencebetweenthe Jewandthe Greek: forthesameLordover allis richuntoallthat call uponhim. Forwhosoevershall call uponthenameof the Lordshall be saved. Howthenshall they call onhim inwhomthey have notbelieved? andhowshall they believein him of whomthey have notheard? andhowshall they hearwithouta preacher? Andhowshall they preach, exceptthey be sent? as itis written, Howbeautifulare thefeetof them that preach the gospelof peace, and bring glad tidingsof good things! Butthey have notallobeyedthegospel. ForIsaiahsaith, Lord, whohath believedourreport? So thenfaith cometh byhearing, andhearingbythe wordof God. ButI say, Have they notheard? Yes verily, theirsoundwentintoalltheearth, andtheirwordsuntotheendsof theworld. ButI say, Did notIsraelknow? FirstMosessaith, Iwill provoke you to jealousyby them that are nopeople, and bya foolishnationI will angeryou. ButIsaiahis very bold, andsaith, I was foundof them that soughtmenot; I was mademanifestunto them that asked not afterme. ButtoIsraelhe saith, Alldaylong I have stretched forthmyhandsuntoa disobedientandgainsayingpeople.
