Romans 10:8-13
Easy-to-Read Version
8 This is what the Scripture says: “God’s teaching is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart.”[a] It is the teaching of faith that we tell people. 9 If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 10 Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are saved.
11 Yes, the Scriptures say, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.”[b] 12 It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. 13 Yes, “everyone who trusts in the Lord[c] will be saved.”[d]

Romans 10:8-13
New King James Version
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 preach): 9 that (B)if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, (C)“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For (D)there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for (E)the same Lord over all (F)is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For (G)“whoever calls (H)on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

8 What it says is this: “God's message is near you, on your lips and in your heart”—that is, the message of faith that we preach. 9 If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 10 For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. 11 (A)The scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” 12 This includes everyone, because there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles; God is the same Lord of all and richly blesses all who call to him. 13 (B)As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.”
