— Romans 10:8 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”
But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down);
or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart”; that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.”
