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, to give righteousness to every one that believes.
5 For Moses describes the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who does those things shall live by them.
6 But thus saith the righteousness which is by faith, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven (that is, to bring the Christ down from above)?
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep (that is, to bring up the Christ again from the dead)?
8 But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach,
9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
