1Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.

stylus

1 Corinthians 9:20, 1 Corinthians 9:22, 1 Corinthians 9:20, 1 Corinthians 9:22, John 5:34

2For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

stylus

Acts 21:20, Acts 21:20, Romans 9:31, Romans 9:32, Romans 9:31

3For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

stylus

Luke 16:15, Philippians 3:9, Luke 16:15, Philippians 3:9, 2 Corinthians 5:21

4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

stylus

Galatians 3:24, Galatians 3:24, Romans 8:3, Romans 8:4, Romans 8:3

5For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

stylus

Leviticus 18:5, Leviticus 18:5, Nehemiah 9:29, Nehemiah 9:29, Ezekiel 20:13

6But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

stylus

Deuteronomy 30:11, Deuteronomy 30:14, Deuteronomy 30:11, Deuteronomy 30:14, John 3:12

7or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"

stylus

Hebrews 13:20, Hebrews 13:20, Revelation 1:18, Revelation 1:18, 1 Peter 3:18

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 proclaim:

stylus

Deuteronomy 30:14, Deuteronomy 30:14, Romans 1:16, Romans 1:17, Romans 1:16

9that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

stylus

Luke 12:8, Luke 12:8, Acts 16:31, Acts 16:31, Philippians 2:11

10For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

stylus

1 John 4:15, 1 John 4:15, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:9, Galatians 2:16

11For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."

stylus

Isaiah 28:16, Isaiah 28:16, Romans 9:33, Romans 9:33, 1 Peter 2:6

12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.

stylus

Philippians 4:19, Philippians 4:19, Revelation 17:14, Romans 3:22, Revelation 17:14

13For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

stylus

Acts 2:21, Acts 2:21, Joel 2:32, Joel 2:32

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 proclaimer?

stylus

Mark 16:15, Mark 16:16, Mark 16:15, Mark 16:16, Acts 26:17

15And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!"

stylus

Isaiah 52:7, Isaiah 52:7, Nahum 1:15, Nahum 1:15, Ephesians 2:17

16But they did not all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

stylus

Isaiah 53:1, Isaiah 53:1, Romans 3:3, Romans 3:3, John 12:38

17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

stylus

Galatians 3:2, Galatians 3:2, Galatians 3:5, Galatians 3:5, 1 Thessalonians 2:13

18But I say, did they not hear? Yes, truly, "Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."

stylus

Psalms 19:4, Psalms 19:4, Matthew 24:14, Romans 1:8, Matthew 24:14

19But I ask, did not 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."

stylus

Deuteronomy 32:21, Deuteronomy 32:21, Romans 11:11, Romans 11:11, Romans 11:14

stylus

Isaiah 65:1, Isaiah 65:2, Isaiah 65:1, Isaiah 65:2, Romans 9:30
