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 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.

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.
