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.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

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:)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

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;

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

Romans 10 Study & Commentary
Romans 10 contrasts the righteousness of the Law with the righteousness of faith. Paul emphasizes that Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness and outlines the simplicity of the Gospel: that whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Heart and the Mouth: Salvation involves both believing with the heart and confessing with the mouth (v. 9-10). True faith is an internal conviction that results in a public commitment to Jesus as Lord.2. The Necessity of Preaching: How shall they hear without a preacher? (v. 14). We have a shared responsibility to support and engage in the verbal proclamation of the Gospel to all people.
3. The Accessibility of Grace: The Word is nigh thee (v. 8). We do not need to perform impossible feats to find God; He has come near to us in Christ, and His salvation is available to everyone who believes.
