^3 (A)You are already ^[a]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

^17 (A)Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

⁸ But what does it say? “^(A)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, ^9 [a]that ^(B)if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and ^(C)believe in your heart that ^(D)God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, ^[b]leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^[c]leading to salvation. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, “^(E)Whoever believes upon Him will not be put to shame.” ¹² For ^(F)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is ^(G)Lord of ^(H)all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him, ¹³ for “^(I)Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴ How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him ^(J)whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without ^(K)a preacher? ¹⁵ And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “^(L)How beautiful are the feet of those who ^(M)proclaim good news of good things!”

¹⁶ However, they ^(N)did not all heed the ^[d]good news, for Isaiah says, “^(O)Lord, who has believed our report?” ¹⁷ So faith comes from ^(P)hearing, and hearing by ^(Q)the word ^[e]of Christ.

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

¹⁹ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says,

²⁰ And Isaiah is very bold and says,

²¹ But as for Israel He says, “^(V)All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”

¹⁷ also receive ^(A)the helmet of salvation, and the ^(B)sword of the Spirit, which is ^(C)the word of God,
