| Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. | For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. |
| If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. | If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. |
|
| For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. | For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. |
| As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” | As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” |
| For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” | For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” |
| Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. | So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. |
