Romans 10:2-6
New International Version
2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(A) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(B) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(C) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(D)
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](E) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(F) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](G) (that is, to bring Christ down)

Romans 10:2-6
King James Version
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
