CHAPTER 10
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2
For I bear
them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3
For they being ignorant
of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted
themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4
For Christ
is
the end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believeth.
5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the
man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6
But 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:
)
7
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the
dead.)
8
But 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;
9
That 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.
10
For with
the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12
For there is no
difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon
him.
13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
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 without a preacher?
15
And 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!
16
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report?
17
So then faith
cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words
unto the ends of the world.
19
But 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.
20
But 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.
21
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a
disobedient and gainsaying people.
CHAPTER 11
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham,
of
the tribe of Benjamin.
2
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot
ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they
seek my life.
4
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand
men, who have not bowed the knee to
the image of
Baal.
5
Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6
And if by grace, then
is it
no more of works:
