CHAPTER 10

Brothers,

my

heart’s

desire

and

prayer

to

God

for

the Israelites

is for

their salvation.

For

I testify

about them

that

they are

zealous

for God,

but

not

on the basis of

knowledge.

Because

they were ignorant

of God’s

righteousness

and

sought

to establish

their

own,

they did not submit

to

God’s

righteousness.

Christ is

the end

of the Law,

in order to bring

righteousness

to everyone

who

believes.

For

concerning the

righteousness

that

is by

the

Law,

Moses

writes:

“The

man who

does

these things

will live

by

them.”

But

the

righteousness

that is by

faith

says:

“Do not say

in

your

heart,

‘Who

will ascend

into

heaven?’

(that

is,

to bring Christ down

)

or,

‘Who

will descend

into

the

Abyss?’

(that

is,

to bring

Christ

up from

the dead).”

But

what

does it say?

“The

word

is

near

you,

in

your

mouth

and

in

your

heart,”

that

is,

the

word

of faith

we are proclaiming:

that

if

you confess

with

your

mouth,

“Jesus

is Lord,”

and

believe

in

your

heart

that

God

raised

Him

from

the dead,

you will be saved.

For

with your heart

you believe

and are

justified,

and

with your mouth

you confess

and are

saved.

It is just as

the

Scripture

says:

“Anyone

who

believes

in

Him

will never

be put to shame.”

For

there is

no

difference

between

Jew

and

Greek:

The

same

Lord

is Lord of all,

and gives richly

to

all

who

call

on Him,

for,

“Everyone who

calls on

the

name

of the Lord

will be saved.”

How

then

can they call

on

the One

in whom they have not believed?

And

how

can they believe in the One

of whom

they have not heard?

And

how

can they hear

without

someone to preach?

And

how

can they preach

unless

they are sent?

As

it is written:

“How

beautiful are

the

feet

of those who

bring good news!”

But

not

all of them

welcomed

the

good news.

For

Isaiah

says,

“Lord,

who

has believed

our

message?”

Consequently,

faith comes

by

hearing,

and

hearing

by

the word

of Christ.

But

I ask,

did they not hear?

Indeed they did:

“Their

voice

has gone out

into

all

the

earth,

their

words

to

the

ends

of the

world.”

I ask

instead:

Did Israel

not

understand?

First,

Moses

says:

“I

will make you jealous

by those who are

not

a nation;

I will make you angry

by

a nation

without understanding.”

And

Isaiah

boldly

says:

“I was found

by

those who

did not seek

Me;

I revealed Myself

to those who

did not ask for

Me.”

But

as for

Israel

he says:

“All

day long

I have held out

My

hands

to

a disobedient

and

obstinate

people.”
