Romans 10:9-17

English Standard Version

⁹ because, if ^(A)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and ^(B)believe in your heart ^(C)that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. ¹¹ For the Scripture says, ^(D)“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” ^12 (E)For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; ^(F)for the same Lord is Lord of all, ^(G)bestowing his riches on all who call on him. ¹³ For ^(H)“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

¹⁴ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him ^(I)of whom they have never heard?^[a] And how are they to hear ^(J)without someone preaching? ¹⁵ And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ^(K)“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” ¹⁶ But ^(L)they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, ^(M)“Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” ¹⁷ So ^(N)faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
