Zeal without Knowledge is not good

Romans 10:1-3

English Standard Version (ESV)

10 Brothers[a], my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
