Israel's Rejection of the Gospel through Christ

Paul's Concern for Israel

• 1. BRETHREN, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
  
  • Greek
    • Ἀδελφοί ἡ μὲν εὐδοκία τῆς ἐμῆς καρδίας καὶ ἡ δέησις ἡ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ ἐστιν εἰς σωτηρίαν
• 2. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
  
  • Greek
    • μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῆλον θεοῦ ἔχουσιν ἀλλ᾽ οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπίγνωσιν·

Message of Salvation and Justification

• 5. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
  
  • Greek
    • Μωσῆς γὰρ γράφει τὴν δικαιοσύνην τὴν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς
• 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:)
  
  • Greek
    • ἡ δὲ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιοσύνη οὕτως λέγει Μὴ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου Τίς ἀναβήσεται εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν Χριστὸν καταγαγεῖν·

Rejection of the Gospel by Israel Foretold

• 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.
  
  • Greek
    • Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσονται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν πῶς δὲ πιστεύσουσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν πῶς δὲ ἀκούσουσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος
• 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!
  
  • Greek
    • πῶς δὲ κηρύξουσιν ἐὰν μὴ ἀποσταλῶσιν καθὼς γέγραπται Ὡς ὡραῖοι οἱ πόδες τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων εἰρήνην, τῶν εὐαγγελιζομένων τὰ ἀγαθά

(Isaiah 53:1)

• 16. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
  
  • Greek
    • Ἀλλ οὐ πάντες ὑπήκουσαν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ Ἠσαΐας γὰρ λέγει Κύριε τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν
• 17. So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
  
  • Greek
    • ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Θεοῦ

(Psalm 19:4)

• 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.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀλλὰ λέγω μὴ οὐκ ἤκουσαν μενοῦνγε· Εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φθόγγος αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ πέρατα τῆς οἰκουμένης τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῶν

(Deuteronomy 32:21)

• 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.
  
  • Greek
    • ἀλλὰ λέγω μὴ οὐκ ἔγνω Ἰσραὴλ πρῶτος Μωσῆς λέγει Ἐγὼ παραζηλώσω ὑμᾶς ἐπ᾽ οὐκ ἔθνει ἐπὶ ἔθνει ἀσυνέτῳ παροργιῶ ὑμᾶς

(Isaiah 65:1)

• 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.
  
  • Greek
    • Ἠσαΐας δὲ ἀποτολμᾷ καὶ λέγει Εὑρέθην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ζητοῦσιν ἐμφανὴς ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἐμὲ μὴ ἐπερωτῶσιν

(Isaiah 65:2)

• 21. But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
  
  • Greek
    • πρὸς δὲ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ λέγει Ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐξεπέτασα τὰς χεῖράς μου πρὸς λαὸν ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ ἀντιλέγοντα
