Romans 10:5-13

Faith Comes by Hearing
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of law: “(A)The man who does these things shall live by them.” 6 But (B)the righteousness of faith speaks in this way: “(C)Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who will go down into the (D)abyss?’ (that is, to (E)bring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But what does it say? “(F)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 (G)if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and (H)believe in your heart that (I)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, “(J)Whoever believes upon Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For (K)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is (L)Lord of (M)all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him, 13 for “(N)Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:5-13
New International Version
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[a](A) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(B) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[b](C) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[c](D) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(E) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[d](F) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(G) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(H) and believe(I) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(J) you will be saved.(K) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e](L) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(M)—the same Lord is Lord of all(N) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(O) will be saved.”[f](P)
