Some versions insert the word 'Israel' in Romans 10:1,
"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for ISRAEL is, that they might be saved."
But the Greek doesn't include the word 'Israel': it just says for 'them' (Gk αὐτῶν auton).
So Paul's discussion was not necessarily about a nationwide salvation sometime in the future, but mainly about the salvation of ethnically Jewish individuals as it was possible and was already happening in his own day.
