Romans 10:3

3Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

3For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

3For not knowing about God’s righteousness [which is based on faith], and seeking to establish their own [righteousness based on works], they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

3Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

3For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.

3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

3They didn’t know that God’s power makes people right with himself. They tried to get right with God in their own way. They didn’t do it in God’s way.

3They have not understood the way that God accepts people. Instead, they have tried to make their own way to become right with God. They have refused to accept God's way that would make them right with him.

3for not knowing the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
