Romans 10:5-9

[5] For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

[6] But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)

[7] “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

[8] But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

[9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (ESV)
