3 For being ignorant of God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit themselves to the righteousness of God.
4 For Messiah is the goal of the Torah as a means to righteousness for everyone who keeps trusting.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on Torah, “The man who does these things shall live by them.”
6 But the righteousness based on faith speaks in this way: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Messiah down),
7 or, ‘Who will go down into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead).”
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” —that is, the word of faith that we are proclaiming:
9 For if you confess with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
