^10:9 If your lips confess that Jesus is Lord and if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.

^10:10 By believing from the heart you are made righteous; by confessing with your lips you are saved.

^10:11 When scripture says: those who believe in him will have no cause for shame,[*c]

^10:12 it makes no distinction between Jew and Greek: all belong to the same Lord who is rich enough, however many ask his help,

^10:13 for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.[*d]

^10:14 But they will not ask his help unless they believe in him, and they will not believe in him unless they have heard of him, and they will not hear of him unless they get a preacher,

^10:15 and they will never have a preacher unless one is sent, but as scripture says: The footsteps of those who bring good news is a welcome sound.[*e]

^19:6 He has his rising on the edge of heaven, the end of his course is its furthest edge, and nothing can escape his heat.

^19:7 The Law of Yahweh is perfect, new life for the soul; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdom for the simple.

^19:8 The precepts of Yahweh are upright, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is clear, light for the eyes.

^19:9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever; the judgements of Yahweh are true, righteous, every one,

^19:10 more desirable than gold, even than the finest gold; his words are sweeter than honey, even than honey that drips from the comb.

^19:11 Thus your servant is formed by them, observance brings great reward.

^19:12 But who can detect his own failings? Wash out my hidden faults.

^19:13 And from pride preserve your servant, never let it dominate me. So shall I be above reproach, free from grave sin.

^19:14 May the words of my mouth always find favour, and the whispering of my heart, in your presence, Yahweh, my Rock, my Redeemer!
