KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.1 Brothers, certainly the will of my heart, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.2 For I offer testimony to them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
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.3 For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not subjected themselves to the justice of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.4 For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.5 And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)6 But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)7 “Or who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to call back Christ from the dead).
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;8 But what does Scripture say? “The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.9 For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.10 For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.11 For Scripture says: “All those who believe in him shall not be confounded.”
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.13 For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?14 Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!15 And truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?16 But not all are obedient to the Gospel. For Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.17 Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.18 But I say: Have they not heard? For certainly: “Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole world.”
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.19 But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: “I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath.”
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.20 And Isaiah dares to say: “I was discovered by those who were not seeking me. I appeared openly to those who were not asking about me.”
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.21 Then to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me.”
