Romans 10:1–13

Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved. ²For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. ³For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. ⁴For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth. ⁵For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby. ⁶But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) ⁷or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) ⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: ⁹because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: ¹⁰for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. ¹²For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: ¹³for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
