Romans 10:1-7 ▼

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God on their behalf is for salvation.

2 I testify with regard to them that they have zeal for God, but it is not discerning.

3 For, in their unawareness of the righteousness that comes from God and their attempt to establish their own [righteousness], they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for the justification of everyone who has faith.

5 Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from [the] law, “The one who does these things will live by them.”

6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)

7 or ‘Who will go down into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”
