New International Reader's Version

Romans 10:9-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. Say with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord." Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Then you will be saved.

10. With your heart you believe and are made right with God. With your mouth you say that Jesus is Lord. And so you are saved.

11. Scripture says, "The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." (Isaiah 28:16)

12. There is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is Lord of all. He richly blesses everyone who calls on him.

13. Scripture says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Joel 2:32)

14. How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them?
