Israel Needs the Gospel

1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for1 Israel is that they may be saved.  
2 For I bear them witness athat they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.  
3 For they being ignorant of aGod’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own brighteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.  
4 For aChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.  
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, a“The man who does those things shall live by them.”  
6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, a“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

Romans 10:2

For I bear them record—or, "witness," as he well could from his own sad experience.

that they have a zeal of—"for"

God, but not according to knowledge—(Compare Acts 22:3; Acts 26:9-11; Galatians 1:13-14). He alludes to this well-meaning of his people, notwithstanding their spiritual blindness, not certainly to excuse their rejection of Christ and rage against His saints, but as some ground of hope regarding them. (See I Timothy 1:13).
