10:2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
10:3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
10:4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
10:5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."
10:6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down)
10:7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10:10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
10:11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
10:12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
10:13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
