| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
|
2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
|
|
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.
|
3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
|
|
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth .
|
4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
|
|
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
|
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."
|
|
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is , to bring Christ down from above:)
|
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)
|
|
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is , to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
|
7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
|
|
8 But what saith it ? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is , the word of faith, which we preach ;
|
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
|
|
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved .
|
9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
|
|
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
|
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
|
|
11 For the scripture saith , Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed .
|
11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
|
|
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
|
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
