10 Hermanos, mi mayor deseo y mi oración es que Dios salve a todos los judíos. Puedo decir esto en su favor: hacen un gran esfuerzo para honrar a Dios, pero no entienden lo más importante. No han entendido cómo es que Dios nos aprueba. Por eso trataron de ser aprobados a su manera y no aceptaron la manera como Dios nos aprueba. En lo que respecta a ser aprobados por Dios, para todo el que tiene fe, Cristo fue el cumplimiento del propósito de la ley.

(A)Esto es lo que Moisés escribe acerca de cómo tener la aprobación a través de la ley: «La persona que practica la ley obtiene vida gracias al mandamiento».[a] [b] Pero esto es lo que dice de la aprobación por Dios a través de la fe: «No digas: ¿Quién subirá al cielo?» (Es decir: para traer a Cristo a la tierra). Tampoco preguntes: «¿Quién bajará al mundo de los muertos[c]?» (Es decir: «¿Quién va a traer a Cristo y a resucitarlo de entre los muertos?») (B)También dice: «El mensaje de Dios está muy cerca de ti. Está tan cerca como lo están tu boca y tu corazón». Es el mismo mensaje de fe que nosotros anunciamos. Serás salvo si reconoces abiertamente que Jesús es el Señor y si crees de todo corazón que Dios lo levantó de la muerte. 10 Pues Dios te aprobará si crees de todo corazón, y te salvará si con tu boca lo confiesas abiertamente.

11 (C)La Escritura dice: «Todo el que confíe en él no será defraudado»[d]; 12 «todo» porque a Dios no le importa si uno es judío o no[e], pues el mismo Señor es Señor de todos. Es generoso con todos los que le piden ayuda, 13 (D)porque «Todos los que confíen en el Señor serán salvos»[f].[g]

14 Pero, ¿cómo van a confiar en el Señor si no han oído hablar de él? ¿Y cómo van a oír de él si no hay quien les cuente el mensaje? 15 (E)¿Y cómo van a contar el mensaje si no hay quien los envíe? Como está escrito: «¡Son tan hermosos los pies de los que anuncian las buenas noticias!»[h]

16 (F)No obstante, no todos ellos hicieron caso de las buenas noticias. Por eso Isaías pregunta: «Señor, ¿quién ha creído nuestro mensaje?»[i] 17 Así que la fe es el resultado de oír el mensaje. La gente oye el mensaje cuando alguien le habla de Cristo. 18 (G)Pero yo pregunto: ¿Será que el pueblo de Israel no oyó nuestro mensaje? Claro que sí.

«Sus voces se han oído en toda la tierra,
    y sus palabras han llegado
    a todos los rincones del mundo».[j]

19 (H)Yo pregunto nuevamente: «¿El pueblo de Israel no entendió?» Claro que entendió. Primero, Moisés dijo de parte de Dios:

«Haré que ustedes sientan celos de gente que no es en realidad una nación.
    Usaré una nación ignorante para que les dé ira a ustedes».[k]

20 (I)Luego Isaías se atrevió a decir de parte de Dios:

«Los que no me estaban buscando, me encontraron.
    Me aparecí ante los que no preguntaban por mí».[l]

21 (J)Sin embargo esto es lo que dice Dios acerca de Israel:

«Durante todo el día he esperado a este pueblo,
    pero es gente desobediente que no quiere seguirme».[m]

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(A) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous(B) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(C) Christ is the culmination of the law(D) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(E)

Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](F) But the righteousness that is by faith(G) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](H) (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](I) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(J) But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](K) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare(L) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(M) and believe(N) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(O) you will be saved.(P) 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.”[e](Q) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(R)—the same Lord is Lord of all(S) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(T) will be saved.”[f](U)

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!”[g](V)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(W) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[h](X) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(Y) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(Z) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[i](AA)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(AB) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[j](AC)

20 And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[k](AD)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[l](AE)

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

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

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.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

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:)

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

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;

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.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

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.

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? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

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!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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.

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.

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.

21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

10 Brothers,[a] my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that (A)they have a zeal for God, (B)but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of (C)the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For (D)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.[b]

The Message of Salvation to All

For (E)Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that (F)the person who does the commandments shall live by them. But (G)the righteousness based on faith says, (H)“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the (I)abyss?’” (that is, (J)to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? (K)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if (L)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and (M)believe in your heart (N)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, (O)“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 (P)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; (Q)for the same Lord is Lord of all, (R)bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For (S)“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him (T)of whom they have never heard?[c] And how are they to hear (U)without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, (V)“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But (W)they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (X)“Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So (Y)faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for

(Z)“Their voice has gone out (AA)to all the earth,
    and their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says,

(AB)“I will (AC)make you jealous of those who are not a nation;
    with a (AD)foolish nation I will make you angry.”

20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,

(AE)“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
    I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”

21 But of Israel he says, (AF)“All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
