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)  
7 or, a“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).  
8 But what does it say? a“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):  
9 that aif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, a“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”  
12 For athere is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for bthe same Lord over all cis rich to all who call upon Him.  
13 For a“whoever calls bon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  

Israel Rejects the Gospel

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 awithout a preacher?  
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
a“How beautiful are the feet of those who1 preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”  
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, a“Lord, who has believed our report?”  
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
