Romans 10:3-5

Living Bible

³ For they don’t understand that Christ has died to make them right with God. Instead they are trying to make themselves good enough to gain God’s favor by keeping the Jewish laws and customs, but that is not God’s way of salvation. ⁴ They don’t understand that Christ gives to those who trust in him everything they are trying to get by keeping his laws. He ends all of that.

⁵ For Moses wrote that if a person could be perfectly good and hold out against temptation all his life and never sin once, only then could he be pardoned and saved.
