1. Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation!
2. I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3. Because they disregarded the righteousness from God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to God’s righteousness.
4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5. For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.
6. But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven? ” that is, to bring Christ down
7. or, “Who will go down into the abyss? ” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
