10 Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

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

For they, not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth.

For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it.

But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded.

12 For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

16 But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

18 But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

19 But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20 But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

21 But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.

10 Fratres, voluntas quidem cordis mei, et obsecratio ad Deum, fit pro illis in salutem.

Testimonium enim perhibeo illis quod aemulationem Dei habent, sed non secundum scientiam.

Ignorantes enim justitiam Dei, et suam quaerentes statuere, justitiae Dei non sunt subjecti.

Finis enim legis, Christus, ad justitiam omni credenti.

Moyses enim scripsit, quoniam justitiam, quae ex lege est, qui fecerit homo, vivet in ea.

Quae autem ex fide est justitia, sic dicit: Ne dixeris in corde tuo: Quis ascendet in caelum? id est, Christum deducere:

aut, Quis descendet in abyssum? hoc est, Christum a mortuis revocare.

Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fidei, quod praedicamus.

Quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Jesum, et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum suscitavit a mortuis, salvus eris.

10 Corde enim creditur ad justitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem.

11 Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur.

12 Non enim est distinctio Judaei et Graeci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes qui invocant illum.

13 Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit.

14 Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? quomodo autem audient sine praedicante?

15 quomodo vero praedicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona!

16 Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro?

17 Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi.

18 Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.

19 Sed dico: Numquid Israel non cognovit? Primus Moyses dicit: Ego ad aemulationem vos adducam in non gentem: in gentem insipientem, in iram vos mittam.

20 Isaias autem audet, et dicit: Inventus sum a non quaerentibus me: palam apparui iis qui me non interrogabant.

21 Ad Israel autem dicit: Tota die expandi manus meas ad populum non credentem, et contradicentem.
