1Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites is for their salvation.1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2For I can testify that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not in line with the truth.2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God's righteousness.3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The one who does these things will live by them."5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)6But 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:)
7or "Who will descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we preach),8But 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;
9because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.9That 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.
10For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11For the scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on him.12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them?14How 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?
15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news."15And 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!
16But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ. 17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19But again I ask, didn't Israel understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger."19But 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.
20And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well known to those who did not ask for me."20But 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.
21But about Israel he says, "All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!" 21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
