rsv Romans:10:8-16 SEEK

*
But what does it say ?
The word is near you ,
on your lips and in your heart (
that is ,
the word of faith which we preach );
*
because ,
if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead ,
you will be saved .
*
For man believes with his heart and so is justified ,
and he confesses with his lips and so is saved .
*
The scripture says , "
No one who believes in him will be put to shame ."
*
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek ;
the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him .
*
For , "
every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved ."
*
But how are men to call upon him in whom they have not believed ?
And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard ?
And how are they to hear without a preacher ?
*
And how can men preach unless they are sent ?
As it is written , "
How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news !"
*
But they have not all obeyed the gospel ;
for Isaiah says , "
Lord ,
who has believed what he has heard from us ?"
