Romans 10:8-13
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. 10 For
with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses
and is saved. 11 For the Scripture
says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and
Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call
on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Psalm 37:27-40
27 Turn away from evil and do good;
so
shall you dwell forever.
28 For the Lord loves
justice;
he
will not forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but
the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land
and
dwell upon it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous
utters wisdom,
and
his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
his
steps do not slip.
32 The wicked watches for the
righteous
and
seeks to put him to death.
33 The Lord will not
abandon him to his power
or
let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
and
he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you
will look on when the wicked are cut off.
35 I have seen a wicked,
ruthless man,
spreading
himself like a green laurel tree.[a]
36 But he passed away,[b] and
behold, he was no more;
though
I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold
the upright,
for
there is a future for the man of peace.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether
destroyed;
the
future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 The salvation of the
righteous is from the Lord;
he
is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them
and delivers them;
he
delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because
they take refuge in him.
