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 say, "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."
