1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.¶ (2 connections) 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.¶†⇄ (37 connections) 3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.†⇄ (62 connections) 4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.¶†⇄ (76 connections)
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”†⇄ (2 connections) 6 But 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);¶†⇄ (14 connections) 7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”¶†⇄ (21 connections) 8 But 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:¶†⇄ (29 connections) 9 that 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.¶†⇄ (30 connections) 10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.¶†⇄ (60 connections) 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”¶†⇄ (10 connections)
12 For 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.¶†⇄ (11 connections) 13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”¶†⇄ (27 connections) 14 How 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?†⇄ (29 connections) 15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”†⇄ (26 connections)
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”†⇄ (5 connections) 17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.¶†⇄ (30 connections) 18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”†⇄ (32 connections)
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”†⇄ (12 connections)
20 Isaiah 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.”†⇄ (20 connections)
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”†⇄ (17 connections)
