Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁸ But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”, that is, the word of ^[a] faith which we are proclaiming, ⁹ that^[b] if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is believed with the heart resulting-in righteousness, and it is confessed with the mouth resulting in salvation.

The Scripture Says Faith Leads To Salvation For Both Jew And Greek

¹¹ For the Scripture says [in Isa 28:16] “everyone putting-faith upon Him will not be put-to-shame”. ¹² For there is no distinction between both Jew and Greek— for the same Lord is Lord of all, being rich toward all the ones calling-upon Him. ¹³ For “everyone who calls-upon the name of the Lord will be saved” [Joel 2:32].

In The Wilderness, Jesus Is Tempted By Satan To Act Contrary To His Father’s Will

4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And He was being led in the Spirit in the wilderness ² for forty days while being tempted by the devil. And He did not eat anything during those days. And they having been completed, He was hungry. ³ And the devil said to Him, “If You are^[a] God’s Son, say^[b] to this stone that it should become bread”. ⁴ And Jesus responded to him, “It has been written [in Deut 8:3] that ‘Mankind^[c] shall not live on bread alone’”. ⁵ And having led Him up, he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed-over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. ⁷ Therefore if You worship before me, it will all be Yours”. ⁸ And having responded, Jesus said to him “It has been written [in Deut 6:13], ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’”. ⁹ And he led Him into Jerusalem and stood Him on the pinnacle of the temple. And he said to Him, “If You are God’s Son, throw Yourself down from here. ¹⁰ For it has been written [in Ps 91:11] that ‘He will command His angels concerning You that they might protect You’, ¹¹ and [in Ps 91:12] that ‘They will lift You up on their hands that You may not ever strike Your foot against a stone’”. ¹² And having responded, Jesus said to him that “It has been said [in Deut 6:16], ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test’”. ¹³ And having completed every temptation, the devil departed from Him until an opportune-time.
