Romerne 10,2

1 Brødre og søstre, mitt hjertes ønske og min bønn til Gud for dem er at de må oppnå frelse.

For jeg kan vitne om at de har en iver for Gud, men det er ikke i samsvar med kunnskap.

3 For, uten å være klar over Guds rettferdighet og forsøke å etablere sin egen, underkastet de seg ikke Guds rettferdighet.

4 For Kristus er oppfyllelsen av loven slik at rettferdighet kan være tilgjengelig for alle som tror.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
