Romans 10:2

The Righteousness Of God Through Faith In Christ

¹ Brothers, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for my countrymen, that they may be saved. ² For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, only it is a zeal without knowledge. ³ For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness, and sought to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.
