1. Brothers, certainly the will of my heart, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.
2. For I offer testimony to them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3. For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not subjected themselves to the justice of God.
4. For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.
5. And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.
6. But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: "Who shall ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down);
7. "Or who shall descend into the abyss?" (that is, to call back Christ from the dead).
8. But what does Scripture say? "The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart." This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.
9. For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
10. For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.
