Rom.10:[1] Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that
they might be saved.
[2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of 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.
[4] For Christ is the end ( goal, purpose) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
G5056 telos
From a primary word tellō? (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid): - + continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost. Compare G5411.
[5] For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Lev.18:[4] Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the
LORD your God.
[5] Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in
them: I am the LORD.
[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:)
[7] Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
Deut.30[11] For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee,
neither is it far off. [12] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to
heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?[13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that
thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and
do it?[14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou
mayest do it.
[15] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
[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;
[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.
[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.
Isa.28[16] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
[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!
Isa.52[7] How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
[16] But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Isa.53[1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
John.12[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
[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.
Deut.32[16] They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked
they him to anger. [17] They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to
new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
[18] Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
[19] And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of
his daughters.
[20] And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a
very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
[21] They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Rom.10[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.
[21] But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient
and gainsaying people.
Isa.65[1] I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me
not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.[2] I have
spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not
good, after their own thoughts;
[3] A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and
burneth incense upon altars of brick;
[4] Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and
broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
[5] Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a
smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Rom.10[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.
