Romans 10:1-7 ▼

1 Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is -- for salvation;

2 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

3 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

5 for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'

6 and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

7 or, 'Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.
