² For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

²⁰ And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

³¹ But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

³² Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

⁶ Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

³ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

² Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

¹⁴ And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

⁴ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

¹⁶ And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.
