Romans 10:8–18

⁸But what does it say? “^aThe word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

⁹¹that ^aif you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and ^bbelieve in your heart that ^cGod raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;

¹⁰for with the heart a person believes, ¹leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ²leading to salvation.

¹¹For the Scripture says, “^aWhoever believes upon Him will not be put to shame.”

¹²For ^athere is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is ^bLord of ^call, abounding in riches for all who call on Him,

¹³for “^aWhoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him ^awhom they have not heard? And how will they hear without ^ba preacher?

¹⁵And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “^aHow beautiful are the feet of those who ^bproclaim good news of good things!”

¹⁶However, they ^adid not all heed the ¹good news, for Isaiah says, “^bLord, who has believed our report?”

¹⁷So faith comes from ^ahearing, and hearing by ^bthe word ¹of Christ.

¹⁸But I say, have they never heard? On the contrary, they have;

“^aTheir voice has gone out into all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the ¹world.”
