Explanation: In Romans 10, Paul expresses his desire that Israel Might be saved. He acknowledges that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Instead of seeking righteousness through Christ, they have sought to make themselves righteous (1-4).
In the Law of Moses, the person who keeps the law will live. But the righteousness which comes by faith does not depend on extraordinary acts (compare Deuteronomy 30:11-14). In order to become righteous, we do not have to bring Christ from afar -- to overpower him by bringing him from heaven, or to empower him by bringing him from the dead. Rather, in order to be saved, we need only to confess the Lord Jesus with our mouth and to believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead. Anyone who believes in him will not be ashamed. Whether a person is Jew or Greek, anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (5-13).
But they will not call on him unless they believe; they will not believe unless they hear; they will not hear without a preacher; they will not preach unless they are sent. But everyone does not obey the gospel. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the Word (14-17).
All the world has heard, and the Gentiles found God, but Israel disobeyed (18-21).

Romans 10
3. Election (Romans 9:1 - Romans 11:36) - 55 A.D. Corinth
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 of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
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.)
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.
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.
