But
the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not 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 are
preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the
heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he
confesses, resulting in salvation.
For
the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
Romans
10:8-11
