Romans 10:1-4
English Standard Version
10 Brothers,[a] my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that (A)they have a zeal for God, (B)but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of (C)the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For (D)Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.[b]

Romans 10:1-4
International Standard Version
The Person who Believes will be Saved
10 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God about the Jews[a] is that they would be saved. 2 For I can testify on their behalf that they have a zeal for God, but it is not in keeping with full knowledge. 3 For they are ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God while they try to establish their own, and they have not submitted to God’s means to attain[b] righteousness. 4 For the Messiah[c] is the culmination[d] of the Law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.
