10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;
10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. for with the heart doth `one' believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'
10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
