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 that we proclaim);

¹⁴ But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

^6 (A)If you put these things before the brothers,^[a] you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have ^(B)followed.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

¹⁶ For ^(A)I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is ^(B)the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ^(C)first and also to ^(D)the Greek. ¹⁷ For in it ^(E)the righteousness of God is revealed ^(F)from faith for faith,^{[a] (G)}as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”^[b]

And this word ^(B)is the good news that was preached to you.

² Let me ask you only this: ^(A)Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by ^(B)hearing with faith?

⁵ Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and ^(A)works miracles among you do so ^(B)by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—

¹⁷ So ^(A)faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

^43 (A)To him ^(B)all the prophets bear witness that ^(C)everyone who believes in him receives ^(D)forgiveness of sins ^(E)through his name.”
