Apostol § 103

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, “that the man which doeth those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness which is of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in thine heart, ‘Who shall ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who shall descend into the deep?’ ” (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead). But what does it say? ‘The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart” (that is, the word of faith, which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
