Romans 10:3-10 For in their ignorance of God's way of uprightness and in the attempt to set up one of their own, they refused to conform to God's way of uprightness.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For in their ignorance of God's way of uprightness and in the attempt to set up one of their own, they refused to conform to God's way of uprightness. ⁴ For Christ marks the termination of law, so that now anyone who has faith may attain uprightness. ⁵ Moses said that anyone who carried out the uprightness the Law prescribed would find life through it. ⁶ But this is what the uprightness that springs from faith says: "Do not say to yourself, 'Who will go up to heaven?' " that is, to bring Christ down; ⁷ or " 'Who will go down into the depths?' " that is, to bring Christ up from the dead. ⁸ No! This is what it says: "God's message is close to you, on your lips and in your mind"—that is, the message about faith that we preach. ⁹ For if with your lips you acknowledge the message that Jesus is Lord, and with your mind you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with their minds men believe and are made upright, and with their lips they make the acknowledgment and are saved.
