The Word of Faith Brings Salvation

1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have ¹a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about ²God's righteousness and ³seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For ⁴Christ is the ^aend of the law for righteousness to ⁵everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is ^bbased on law ⁶shall live ^cby that righteousness. 6 But ⁷the righteousness ^dbased on faith speaks as follows : "⁸DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN ?' (that is, to bring Christ down ), 7 or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ⁹ABYSS?' (that is, to ¹⁰bring Christ up from the dead)." 8 But what does it say ? "¹¹THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in your mouth and in your heart "-that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 ^ethat ¹²if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and ¹³believe in your heart that ¹⁴God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved ; 10 for with the heart a person believes, ^fresulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^gresulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "¹⁵WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE ^hDISAPPOINTED." 12 For ¹⁶there is no distinction between Jew and Greek ; for the same Lord is ¹⁷Lord of ¹⁸all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for "¹⁹WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed ? How will they believe in Him ²⁰whom they have not heard ? And how will they hear without ²¹a preacher ? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent ? Just as it is written, "²²HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO ⁱ²³BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS !" 16 However, they ²⁴did not all heed the ^jgood news ; for Isaiah says, "²⁵LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT ?" 17 So faith comes from ²⁶hearing, and hearing by ²⁷the word ^kof Christ. 18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "²⁸THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE ^lWORLD." 19 But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, "²⁹I WILL ³⁰MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER 20 And Isaiah is very bold and says, "³¹I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME." 21 But as for Israel He says, "³²ALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."
