Context
10:1 Brothers and sisters , my heart’s desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites is for their salvation .
10:2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God , but their zeal is not in line with the truth .
10:3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God , and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness , they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
10:4 For Christ is the end of the law , with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes .
10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law : “The one who does these things will live by them .”
10:6 But the righteousness that is by faith says : “Do not say in your heart , ‘Who will ascend into heaven ?’” (that is , to bring Christ down )
10:7 or “Who will descend into the abyss ?” (that is , to bring Christ up from the dead ).
10:8 But what does it say ? “The word is near you , in your mouth and in your heart ” (that is , the word of faith that we preach ),
10:9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead , you will be saved .
10:10 For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation .
10:11 For the scripture says , “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame .”
10:12 For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek , for the same Lord is Lord of all , who richly blesses all who call on him .
