This short chapter has a few well-known and to-the-point versus. Paul is talking to the Jews who once again were missing what God had planned for them. "All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people." v.21
But for the rest of us, these verses are simple and direct answers to, "How can I be saved?"
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." v. 4
"...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." v. 9-10
"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him, for 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" v. 12-13
The streamline right to the heart of salvation.
The chapter starts with "...my heart's one desire":
Refiner's fire. My heart's one desire
is to be Holy. Set apart for you my Master,
Ready to do Your will.
