Des Apostels Wunsch und Gebet für Israel
10 Brüder, meines Herzens Wunsch und mein Flehen zu Gott für Israel ist auf ihr Heil gerichtet. 2 Denn ich gebe ihnen das Zeugnis, daß sie eifern um Gott, aber mit Unverstand. 3 Denn weil sie die Gerechtigkeit Gottes nicht erkennen und ihre eigene Gerechtigkeit aufzurichten trachten, sind sie der Gerechtigkeit Gottes nicht untertan. 4 Denn Christus ist des Gesetzes Ende zur Gerechtigkeit für einen jeden, der da glaubt.
5 Mose beschreibt nämlich die Gerechtigkeit, die durch das Gesetz kommt, also: „Der Mensch, welcher sie tut, wird dadurch leben.“ 6 Aber die Gerechtigkeit durch den Glauben redet so: „Sprich nicht in deinem Herzen: Wer will in den Himmel hinaufsteigen?“ nämlich um Christus herabzuholen 7 oder: „wer will in den Abgrund hinuntersteigen?“ nämlich um Christus von den Toten zu holen! 8 Sondern was sagt sie? „Das Wort ist dir nahe, in deinem Munde und in deinem Herzen!“ nämlich das Wort des Glaubens, das wir predigen. 9 Denn wenn du mit deinem Munde Jesus als den Herrn bekennst und in deinem Herzen glaubst, daß Gott ihn von den Toten auferweckt hat, so wirst du gerettet; 10 denn mit dem Herzen glaubt man, um gerecht, und mit dem Munde bekennt man, um gerettet zu werden; 11 denn die Schrift spricht:
„Wer an ihn glaubt, wird nicht zuschanden werden!“
12 Denn es ist kein Unterschied zwischen Juden und Griechen: alle haben denselben Herrn, der reich ist für alle, die ihn anrufen; 13 denn:“wer den Namen des Herrn anrufen wird, der soll gerettet werden.“
14 Wie sollen sie ihn aber anrufen, wenn sie nicht an ihn glauben? Wie sollen sie aber glauben, wenn sie nichts von ihm gehört haben? Wie sollen sie aber hören ohne Prediger? 15 Wie sollen sie aber predigen, wenn sie nicht ausgesandt werden? Wie geschrieben steht:
„Wie lieblich sind die Füße derer, die das Evangelium des Friedens, die das Evangelium des Guten verkündigen!“
16 Aber nicht alle haben dem Evangelium gehorcht; denn Jesaja spricht:
„Herr,wer hat unsrer Predigt geglaubt?“
17 Demnach kommt der Glaube aus der Predigt, die Predigt aber durch Gottes Wort.
18 Aber ich frage: Haben sie etwa nicht gehört? Doch ja,
„es ist in alle Lande ausgegangen ihr Schall und bis an die Enden der Erde ihre Worte.“
19 Aber ich frage: Hat es Israel nicht gewußt? Schon Mose sagt: „Ich will euch zur Eifersucht reizen durch das, was kein Volk ist, durch ein unverständiges Volk will ich euch erzürnen.“ 20 Jesaja aber wagt sogar zu sagen: „Ich bin von denen gefunden worden, welche mich nicht suchten, bin denen offenbar geworden, die nicht nach mir fragten.“
21 In bezug auf Israel aber spricht er:
„Den ganzen Tag habe ich meine Hände ausgestreckt nach einem ungehorsamen und widerspenstigen Volk!“
Romans 10
New International Version
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[g](V)
16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:
19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)
20 And Isaiah boldly says,
“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[k](AD)
21 But concerning Israel he says,

The Word of Faith Brings Salvation
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have (A)a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not knowing about (B)God’s righteousness and (C)seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For (D)Christ is the [a]end of the Law for righteousness to (E)everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes of the righteousness that is [b]based on the Law, that the person who performs [c]them (F)will live by [d]them. 6 But (G)the righteousness [e]based on faith speaks as follows: “(H)Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who will descend into the (I)abyss?’ (that is, to (J)bring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But what does it say? “(K)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 [f]that (L)if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and (M)believe in your heart that (N)God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, [g]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, [h]resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “(O)Whoever believes in Him will not be [i]put to shame.” 12 For (P)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is (Q)Lord of (R)all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for “(S)Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? How are they to believe in Him (T)whom they have not heard? And how are they to hear without (U)a preacher? 15 But how are they to preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: “(V)How beautiful are the feet of those who [j](W)bring good news of good things!”
16 However, they (X)did not all heed the [k]good news; for Isaiah says, “(Y)Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So faith comes from (Z)hearing, and hearing by (AA)the word [l]of Christ.
18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:
19 But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says,
“(AC)I will (AD)make you jealous with those who are not a nation,
With a foolish nation I will anger you.”
20 And Isaiah is very bold and says,
“(AE)I was found by those who did not seek Me,
I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 But as for Israel, He says, “(AF)I have spread out My hands all day long to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
