Romans 10:2-4
10:2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God, 1 but their zeal is not in line with the truth. 2
10:3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
10:4 For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.
1 tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”
2 tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”
sn Their zeal is not in line with the truth means that the Jews’ passion for God was strong, but it ignored the true righteousness of God (v. 3; cf. also 3:21).
