Romans 10:2-4 GNB
(2) I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God; but their devotion is not based on true knowledge. (3) They have not known the way in which God puts people right with himself, and instead, they have tried to set up their own way; and so they did not submit themselves to God's way of putting people right. (4) For Christ has brought the Law to an end, so that everyone who believes is put right with God.

Romans 10:2-4 NWT
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3 for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.

Romans 10:2-4 ESV

Romans 10:2-4 CEV

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
