5  For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them. 6  But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down; 7  or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among the dead. 8  But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 9  that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10  For with the heart is believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession made to salvation. 11  For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

12  For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich towards all that call upon him. 13  For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
