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)

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile^(A)—the same Lord is Lord of all^(B) and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³ for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord^(C) will be saved.”^[a](D)

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!”^[b](E)
