Romans 10:3-10

English Standard Version

³ For, being ignorant of ^(A)the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. ⁴ For ^(B)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.^[a]

The Message of Salvation to All

⁵ For ^(C)Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that ^(D)the person who does the commandments shall live by them. ⁶ But ^(E)the righteousness based on faith says, ^(F)“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) ⁷ “or ‘Who will descend into the ^(G)abyss?’” (that is, ^(H)to bring Christ up from the dead). ⁸ But what does it say? ^(I)“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); ⁹ because, if ^(J)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and ^(K)believe in your heart ^(L)that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
