Romans 10:2

The Righteousness Of God Through Faith In Christ

¹ Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved. ² For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. ³ For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.
