Romans 10:1–13

¹Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which I address to God for them is for salvation. ²For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. ³For they, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. ⁴For Christ is the end of law for righteousness to every one that believes. ⁵For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them. ⁶But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down; ⁷or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among the dead. ⁸But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: ⁹that 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. ¹⁰For with the heart is believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession made to salvation. ¹¹For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed.

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