Romans 10:10

For

with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:10


Context / meaning

Romans 10 [5.] For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”[b] But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’[c] (that is, to bring Christ down); or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’[d] (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”;[e] 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.

Romans 10 [10.] 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.”[f]

Romans 10 [12.] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[g] How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace,
who bring glad tidings of good things!”[h]
