Romans 10:2

The Righteousness Of God Through Faith In Christ

¹ Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God about the Jews 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 righteousness.
