Romans 10:5 in context

The verses around it, from Romans 10.

1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.

2 For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.

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

4 For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

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 will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

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 you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
