1 ايها الاخوة ان مسرّة قلبي وطلبتي الى الله لاجل اسرائيل هي للخلاص.2 لاني اشهد لهم ان لهم غيرة الله ولكن ليس حسب المعرفة.3 لانهم اذ كانوا يجهلون بر الله ويطلبون ان يثبتوا بر انفسهم لم يخضعوا لبر الله.4 لان غاية الناموس هي المسيح للبر لكل من يؤمن.5 لان موسى يكتب في البر الذي بالناموس ان الانسان الذي يفعلها سيحيا بها.6 واما البر الذي بالايمان فيقول هكذا لا تقل في قلبك من يصعد الى السماء اي ليحدر المسيح.7 او من يهبط الى الهاوية اي ليصعد المسيح من الاموات.8 لكن ماذا يقول. الكلمة قريبة منك في فمك وفي قلبك اي كلمة الايمان التي نكرز بها.9 لانك ان اعترفت بفمك بالرب يسوع وآمنت بقلبك ان الله اقامه من الاموات خلصت.10 لان القلب يؤمن به للبر والفم يعترف به للخلاص.11 لان الكتاب يقول كل من يؤمن به لا يخزى.12 لانه لا فرق بين اليهودي واليوناني لان ربا واحدا للجميع غنيا لجميع الذين يدعون به.13 لان كل من يدعو باسم الرب يخلص.14 فكيف يدعون بمن لم يؤمنوا به. وكيف يؤمنون بمن لم يسمعوا به. وكيف يسمعون بلا كارز.15 وكيف يكرزون ان لم يرسلوا. كما هو مكتوب ما اجمل اقدام المبشرين بالسلام المبشرين بالخيرات.16 لكن ليس الجميع قد اطاعوا الانجيل لان اشعياء يقول يا رب من صدق خبرنا.17 اذا الايمان بالخبر والخبر بكلمة الله.18 لكنني اقول ألعلهم لم يسمعوا. بلى. الى كل الارض خرج صوتهم والى اقاصي المسكونة اقوالهم.19 لكني اقول ألعل اسرائيل لم يعلم. اولا موسى يقول انا أغيركم بما ليس امة. بامة غبية اغيظكم.20 ثم اشعياء يتجاسر ويقول وجدت من الذين لم يطلبوني وصرت ظاهرا للذين لم يسألوا عني.21 اما من جهة اسرائيل فيقول طول النهار بسطت يديّ الى شعب معاند ومقاوم

1 Brothers, my heart' 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' righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your 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 said it? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.10 For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.11 For the scripture said, Whoever believes 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 to all that call on him.13 For whoever shall call on 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 said, Lord, who has believed our report?17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses said, 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 said, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not after me.21 But to Israel he said, All day long I have stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and gainsaying people.
