Romans 10:4

Read in context

Romans 10:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

3 Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

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)
