Romans 10:3-10 For not understanding the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For not understanding the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Christ is the end of law for righteousness, to every man who believes. ⁵ For Moses writes in the righteousness from the law, that the man that does them will live in them. ⁶ But the righteousness from faith says thus: Thou should not say in thy heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down) ⁷ or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). ⁸ But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach: ⁹ that if thou will confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved. ¹⁰ For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation.
