(that is to bring Christ from aboue) 7 Or, Who shal descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) 8 But what sayth it? The worde is neere thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thine heart. This is the worde of faith which we preach. 9 For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued: 10 For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation.
