1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire is for Israel’s salvation. That’s my prayer to God for them.
2 I can vouch for them: they are enthusiastic about God. However, it isn’t informed by knowledge.
3 They don’t submit to God’s righteousness because they don’t understand his righteousness, and they try to establish their own righteousness.
4 Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God.
5 Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the Law: The person who does these things will live by them.
