 Romans 10:5-13  NAS
 
 For
      Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based
      on law shall live by that righteousness.  But the righteousness based
      on faith speaks as follows:  "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO
      WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?" (that is , to bring Christ down) or 'WHO
      WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the
      dead)."  But what does it say?  "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU,
      IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART" -- that is, the word of faith which
      we are preaching, 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.  For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL
      NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."  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."
