Romans 10:2

The Righteousness Of God Through Faith In Christ

¹ Brethren, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation. ² For I bear witness that they possess an enthusiasm for God, but it is an unenlightened enthusiasm. ³ Ignorant of the righteousness which God provides and building their hopes upon a righteousness of their own, they have refused submission to God's righteousness.
