      and prayer--"supplication."
      to God for Israel--"for them" is the true reading; the subject being continued from the close of the preceding chapter.
      is, that they may be saved--"for their salvation." Having before poured forth the anguish of his soul at the general unbelief of his nation and its dreadful consequences (Ro 9:1-3), he here expresses in the most emphatic terms his desire and prayer for their salvation.
