JMNT(i)
9 namely that whenever you can speak the same saying (or: agree)
in your mouth, that "Jesus Christ [
is]
Lord" (or: so that if at any time you would confess in your mouth the declaration that Jesus [is] Lord [with other MSS: because if ever you should suddenly avow in your own mouth, “Lord Jesus!”])
and would believe within your heart (= trust and have confidence in the core of your being)
that God raised (or: arouses and awakens)
Him forth from out of the midst of dead folks, you will proceed being delivered (healed and made whole; kept safe; rescued; saved; restored to your original state and condition).
10 You see, in (or: by; with) [
the]
heart (= core of your being)
it is progressively believed and trusted (or: a person is made loyal and given confidence) [
leading]
into rightwisedness (justice; a turn in the right direction with equitable dealings and right relationships with the Way pointed out; also = covenant inclusion and participation),
yet by (or: in; with) [
the]
mouth the same thing is being repeatedly said (or: it is agreed and habitually confessed and professed) [
leading]
into the midst of a deliverance (a rescue; salvation; health and wholeness).
11 For the Scripture is saying, "Everyone habitually believing (putting trust)
upon Him will not continue being disgraced, put to shame, humiliated or be disappointed." [
Isa. 28:16]
12 You see, there is no distinction or separation made by putting asunder in order to define or distinguish between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord (Owner; Master)
of everyone (or: for the same One [being] Lord of all)
is continuously being rich unto (or: is constantly abundantly furnishing [Himself] into)
all the folks habitually calling upon Him.
13 For thus it follows, "Everyone – whoever may at some point call upon the Name of the Lord [= Yahweh] –
will proceed being delivered (kept safe; rescued; saved, healed and made whole)!
" [
Joel 2:32]
