Paul's Letter to the Romans (WEB)

10: 1Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 10:2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 10:3For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 10:4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 10:5For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them." 10:6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down); 10:7or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" 10:8But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 10:9that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10:10For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." 10:12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 10:13For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." 10:14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? 10:15And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

 "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

 Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

10:16But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 10:17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 10:18But I say, didn't they hear? Yes, most assuredly,

 "Their sound went out into all the earth,

 Their words to the ends of the world."

10:19But I ask, didn't Israel know? First Moses says,

 "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,

 With a nation void of understanding I will make you angry."

10:20Isaiah is very bold, and says,

 "I was found by those who didn't seek me.

 I was revealed to those who didn't ask for me."

10:21But as to Israel he says, "All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
