10 1Brothers [and sisters], the thing I want most is for all the Jews to be saved.
That is my prayer to God. 2I can say this about the Jews: They really try to follow
God. But they don't know the right way. 3They did not know the way that God makes
people right with him. And they tried to make themselves right in their own way.
So they did not accept God's way of making people right. 4Christ ended the law
so that every person that believes in him is made right with God.
5Moses writes about being made right by following the law. Moses says, "A person
that wants to find life by following these things (the law) must do the things
the law says."* 6But this is what the Scripture* says about being made right through
faith: "Don't say to yourself, 'Who will go up into heaven?'"* (That means, "Who
will go up to heaven to get Christ and bring him down to earth?") 7"And don't say,
'Who will go down into the world below?'"* (That means, "Who will go down to get
Christ and bring him up from death?") 8This is what the Scripture says: "God's
teaching is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart."* That teaching is
the teaching of faith that we tell people. 9If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus
is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from death, then
you will be saved. 10Yes, we believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with
God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved. 11Yes, the
Scripture* says, "Any person who believes in him (Christ) will not be ashamed."*
12That Scripture says "any person" because there is no difference between Jew and
non-Jew. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. The Lord gives many blessings
to all people that trust in him. 13Yes, [the Scripture says], "Every person that
trusts in the Lord will be saved."*
14But before people can trust in the Lord for help, they must believe in him. And
before people can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him. And for people
to hear about the Lord, another person must tell them. 15And before a person can
go and tell them, that person must be sent. It is written, "Beautiful are the feet
of those people that come to tell good news."*
16But not all [the Jews] accepted that good news. Isaiah said, "Lord, who believed
the things we told them?"* 17So faith comes from hearing [the Good News* ]. And
people hear [the Good News] when a person tells them about Christ.
18But I ask, "Did people not hear [the Good News]?" Yes, they heard--like the Scripture*
says]: "Their voices went out all around the world. Their words went everywhere
in the world." (Psalm 19:4) 19Again I ask, "Did the people of Israel* not understand?"
Yes, they did understand. First, Moses says this [for God]: "I will use a people
that is not really a nation to make you jealous. I will use a nation that does
not understand to make you angry." (Deuteronomy 32:21) 20Then Isaiah is bold enough
to say this [for God]: "The people that were not looking for me-- those people found
me. I showed myself to people that did not ask for me." (Isaiah 65:1) 21[God said
this through Isaiah about the non-Jewish people]. But about the Jewish people God
says, "All day long I have waited for those people, but they refuse to obey and
refuse to follow me."*
