7. Or, Who shall descend into the deep (that is, to bring up the Christ again from the dead)?
8. But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach,
9. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto saving health.
11. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15. And how shall they preach if they have not been sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those that announce the gospel of peace, of those that announce the gospel of that which is good!
16. But not everyone hearkens unto the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?
17. So then faith comes by hearing, and the ear to hear by the word of God.
