Present Condition of Israel
30 What shall we say then? (A)That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, (B)even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel, (C)pursuing the law of righteousness, (D)has not attained to the law [a]of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, [b]by the works of the law. For (E)they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
(F)“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And (G)whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
Israel Needs the Gospel
10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [c]Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness (H)that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of (I)God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own (J)righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For (K)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, (L)“The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, (M)“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, (N)“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? (O)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that (P)if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, (Q)“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For (R)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for (S)the same Lord over all (T)is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For (U)“whoever calls (V)on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

30 τι ουν ερουμεν οτι εθνη τα μη διωκοντα δικαιοσυνην κατελαβεν δικαιοσυνην δικαιοσυνην δε την εκ πιστεως
31 ισραηλ δε διωκων νομον δικαιοσυνης εις νομον δικαιοσυνης ουκ εφθασεν
32 διατι οτι ουκ εκ πιστεως αλλ ως εξ εργων νομου προσεκοψαν γαρ τω λιθω του προσκομματος
33 καθως γεγραπται ιδου τιθημι εν σιων λιθον προσκομματος και πετραν σκανδαλου και πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
10 αδελφοι η μεν ευδοκια της εμης καρδιας και η δεησις η προς τον θεον υπερ του ισραηλ εστιν εις σωτηριαν
2 μαρτυρω γαρ αυτοις οτι ζηλον θεου εχουσιν αλλ ου κατ επιγνωσιν
3 αγνοουντες γαρ την του θεου δικαιοσυνην και την ιδιαν δικαιοσυνην ζητουντες στησαι τη δικαιοσυνη του θεου ουχ υπεταγησαν
4 τελος γαρ νομου χριστος εις δικαιοσυνην παντι τω πιστευοντι
5 μωσης γαρ γραφει την δικαιοσυνην την εκ του νομου οτι ο ποιησας αυτα ανθρωπος ζησεται εν αυτοις
6 η δε εκ πιστεως δικαιοσυνη ουτως λεγει μη ειπης εν τη καρδια σου τις αναβησεται εις τον ουρανον τουτ εστιν χριστον καταγαγειν
7 η τις καταβησεται εις την αβυσσον τουτ εστιν χριστον εκ νεκρων αναγαγειν
8 αλλα τι λεγει εγγυς σου το ρημα εστιν εν τω στοματι σου και εν τη καρδια σου τουτ εστιν το ρημα της πιστεως ο κηρυσσομεν
9 οτι εαν ομολογησης εν τω στοματι σου κυριον ιησουν και πιστευσης εν τη καρδια σου οτι ο θεος αυτον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων σωθηση
10 καρδια γαρ πιστευεται εις δικαιοσυνην στοματι δε ομολογειται εις σωτηριαν
11 λεγει γαρ η γραφη πας ο πιστευων επ αυτω ου καταισχυνθησεται
12 ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη ιουδαιου τε και ελληνος ο γαρ αυτος κυριος παντων πλουτων εις παντας τους επικαλουμενους αυτον
13 πας γαρ ος αν επικαλεσηται το ονομα κυριου σωθησεται

Israel's Unbelief
30 What shall we say, then? (A)That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, (B)a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel (C)who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness[a] (D)did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the (E)stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,
(F)“Behold, I am laying in Zion (G)a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
(H)and whoever believes in him will not be (I)put to shame.”
10 Brothers,[b] my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that (J)they have a zeal for God, (K)but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of (L)the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For (M)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.[c]
The Message of Salvation to All
5 For (N)Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that (O)the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6 But (P)the righteousness based on faith says, (Q)“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the (R)abyss?’” (that is, (S)to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? (T)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if (U)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and (V)believe in your heart (W)that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, (X)“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 (Y)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; (Z)for the same Lord is Lord of all, (AA)bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For (AB)“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say?(A) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(B) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(C) have not attained their goal.(D) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(E) 33 As it is written:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[a](F)
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(G) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(H) 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.(I) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(J) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(K)
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[b](L) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(M) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[c](N) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[d](O) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(P) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[e](Q) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(R) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(S) and believe(T) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(U) you will be saved.(V) 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.”[f](W) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(X)—the same Lord is Lord of all(Y) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(Z) will be saved.”[g](AA)
