\c 10
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my request to God is for them, for their salvation.
|
|
\v 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
|
|
\v 3 For they do not know of God's righteousness, and they seek to establish their own righteousness. They did not submit to the righteousness of God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.
|
|
\v 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the law: "The man who does the righteousness of the law will live by this righteousness."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);
|
|
\v 7 and do not say, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead ones).
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 But what does it say?
|
|
\q "The word is near you,
|
|
\q in your mouth and in your heart."
|
|
\p
|
|
That is the word of faith, which we proclaim.
|
|
\v 9 For if with your mouth you acknowledge Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead ones, you will be saved.
|
|
\v 10 For with the heart man believes for righteousness, and with the mouth he acknowledges for salvation.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 For scripture says, "Everyone who believes on him will not be put to shame."
|
|
\v 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is Lord of all, and he is rich to all who call upon him.
|
|
\v 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 How then can they call on him in whom they have not believed? How can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without a preacher?
|
|
\v 15 Then how can they preach, unless they are sent?—As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim glad tidings of good things!"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 16 But they did not all listen to the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"
|
|
\v 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 But I say, "Did they not hear?" Yes, most certainly.
|
|
\q "Their sound has gone out into all the earth,
|
|
\q and their words to the ends of the world."
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 19 Moreover, I say, "Did Israel not know?" First Moses says,
|
|
\q "I will provoke you to jealousy by what is not a nation.
|
|
\q By means of a nation without understanding, I will stir you up to anger."
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 20 Then Isaiah was very bold when he says,
|
|
\q "I was found by those who did not seek me.
|
|
\q I appeared to those who did not ask for me."
|
|
\m
|
|
\v 21 But to Israel he says, "All the day long I reached out my hands to a disobedient and stubborn people."
