1 Hermanos, el deseo de mi corazón y mi oración a Dios por Israel es que sean salvos.
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 Porque doy testimonio de que tienen celo por Dios, pero no conforme al verdadero conocimiento.
2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 Como no conocen la justicia de Dios, y buscan establecer su propia justicia, no se han sometido a la justicia de Dios.
3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 Porque Cristo es el fin de la Ley para justicia a todo el que cree.
4 For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Moisés escribe acerca de la justicia que viene de la Ley: El hombre que haga estas cosas vivirá por ellas.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
6 Pero la justicia que viene de la fe dice así: No digas en tu corazón: ¿Quién subirá al cielo?, es decir, para hacer bajar a Cristo;
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
7 ni digas: ¿Quién bajará al abismo?, es decir, para hacer subir a Cristo de entre los muertos.
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
8 Pero ¿qué dice? La palabra está cerca de ti, en tu boca y en tu corazón. Esta es la palabra de fe que predicamos:
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach:
9 que si confiesas con tu boca que Jesús es Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo.
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Porque con el corazón se cree para justicia, y con la boca se confiesa para salvación.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.
11 Pues la Escritura dice: Todo el que cree en él no será avergonzado.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
12 Porque no hay diferencia entre judío y griego, pues el mismo Señor es Señor de todos, y es rico para con todos los que lo invocan.
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
13 Porque todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor será salvo.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 ¿Cómo, pues, invocarán a aquel en quien no han creído? ¿Y cómo creerán en aquel de quien no han oído? ¿Y cómo oirán sin alguien que les predique?
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
15 ¿Y cómo predicarán si no son enviados? Como está escrito: ¡Qué hermosos son los pies de los que anuncian las buenas noticias de paz, de los que anuncian buenas cosas!
15 And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 Pero no todos obedecieron al evangelio. Porque Isaías dice: Señor, ¿quién ha creído nuestro mensaje?
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Así que la fe viene por el oír, y el oír viene por la palabra de Cristo.
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Pero digo: ¿Acaso no oyeron? Claro que sí: Por toda la tierra salió su voz, y hasta los fines del mundo sus palabras.
18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly, “Their sound went out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 También digo: ¿Acaso Israel no entendió? Primero Moisés dice: Yo les provocaré celos con un pueblo que no es pueblo; con una nación sin entendimiento los haré enojar.
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation. I will make you angry with a nation void of understanding.”
20 Isaías se atreve a decir: Fui hallado por los que no me buscaban; me manifesté a los que no preguntaban por mí.
20 Isaiah is very bold and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”
21 Pero acerca de Israel dice: Todo el día extendí mis manos a un pueblo desobediente y rebelde.
21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He is now going again to rebuke them more vehemently than before. Wherefore he again does away with every suspicion of hatred, and makes a great effort beforehand to correct misapprehension. Do not then, he says, mind words or accusations, but observe that it is not in any hostile spirit that I say this.

And again, when Paul says, "How beautiful are the feet of those bringing glad tidings of good things, and preaching the Gospel of peace," he shows clearly that it was not merely one, but there were many who used to preach the truth.
"But how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? or how shall they believe without a preacher?" And those who seek the Lord shall praise Him.

… I know nothing by myself," saith one, "yet am I not hereby justified:" --both for what we have done in ignorance, and what in knowledge; "For I bear them record," it is said, "that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge;" but yet this doth not suffice for an excuse for them.

And again he aims at them, and speaks thus, Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven; or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ from the dead; and in like manner warning as he has elsewhere written again, Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead; and again, And if Christ be …
