Romans 10:1-7 ▼

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God about the Jews is that they would be saved.

2 For I can testify on their behalf that they have a zeal for God, but it is not in keeping with full knowledge.

3 For they are ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God while they try to establish their own, and they have not submitted to God's means to attain righteousness.

4 For the Messiah is the culmination of the Law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the Law as follows: |The person who obeys these things will find life by them.|

6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, |Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up to heaven?' (that is, to bring the Messiah down),

7 or 'Who will go down into the depths?' (that is, to bring the Messiah back from the dead).|
