OET (OET-LV) For/Because in_the_heart it_is_being_believed to righteousness, and in_the_mouth it_is_being_confessed to salvation.

OET (OET-RV) because it’s the belief in your mind that leads to righteousness, and it’s the acknowledgement from your mouth that leads to rescue.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:5–15: Salvation for everyone is by faith not works

In this section Paul spoke about righteousness based on the Law of Moses and righteousness based on faith. The righteousness which comes from the Law is based on doing what the Law says. The righteousness which comes from faith is not based on what a person does but is instead a matter of the heart.

God rescues the person who believes in Jesus and announces that Jesus is his Lord. Paul said that this is true for both Jews and people who are not Jews. Jesus is Lord of all of them. and blesses them very much.

Paul then asked several questions for the believers in Rome to think about. He implied that someone must be sent and preach, and people must hear, believe, and call on Jesus. Paul ended the section with a quote from the Old Testament about how it is good to preach the good news.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God saves anyone, Jew or Gentile, who believes in Jesus

Salvation by faith and the need for preaching near and far

10:10a

For with your heart you believe

For: This word here introduces something more that Paul wanted to say about believing, confessing, and being saved. Here Paul used slightly different wording and added the idea of being made right with God, connecting to the same idea in 10:6.Moo (page 658) calls it “corroboration,” Morris (page 386) “further explanation,” Cranfield (page 530), that it “supports the previous verse,” and Dunn (page 609) calls it emphasis of “saving faith.”

with your heart you believe: The phrase with your heart is emphasized by being first in the clause both in the Greek and in the BSB. In some languages the phrase must be in its usual place. If that is true in your language, emphasize this phrase, if possible, in some other way. For example:

one believes with one’s very own heart

with your heart: This phrase indicates the place where someone believes. It indicates truly believing something. For example:

in your heart (NLT)

you believe: The Greek verb here is passive, but the subject of the verb is not clear. Most English versions like the BSB change it into an active verb with a general subject. Others use a first or second person subject. For example:

one believes (ESV)

10:10b

and are justified,

and are justified: The Greek is literally “into/resulting-in righteousness.” It shows that the outcome of a person’s belief is that God will declare that he is righteous, like he did with Abraham (4:3). Here are other ways to translate this Greek phrase:

resulting in righteousness (NASB)

it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God (NLT)

See how you translated this word in 2:13, where the BSB translates it as “declared righteous.”

10:10c

and with your mouth you confess

with your mouth you confess: The phrase with your mouth is emphasized by being first in the clause both in the Greek and in the BSB. In some languages the phrase must be in its usual place. If that is true in your language, emphasize this phrase, if possible, in some other way. For example:

one confesses with one’s very own mouth

you confess: The Greek verb here is passive, but the subject of the verb is not clear. Most English versions like the BSB change it into an active verb with a general subject. Others use a first or second person subject. For example:

one confesses (ESV)

10:10d

and are saved.

and are saved: The Greek is literally “into/resulting-in salvation.” It shows that the outcome of a person’s confession of Jesus as Lord (10:9) is that God will save him from his anger. Here are other ways to translate this Greek phrase:

resulting in salvation (NASB)

it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved (NLT)

are saved: This clause is passive. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

God saves

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καρδίᾳ Γάρ πιστεύεται εἰς δικαιοσύνην στόματι δέ ὁμολογεῖται εἰς σωτηρίαν)

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. For here introduces the reason why what Paul said in the previous verse is true. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: [This is due to the fact that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

καρδίᾳ & πιστεύεται

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πιστεύεται & ὁμολογεῖται

˱it˲_˓is_being˒_believed & ˱it˲_˓is_being˒_confessed

The subjects of these phrases are implied from the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [one believes that God raised Jesus from the dead … one confesses that Jesus is Lord]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

εἰς δικαιοσύνην & εἰς σωτηρίαν

to righteousness & to salvation

Both occurrences of to in this verse indicate that what follows them are results. Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation (with a comma preceding both phrases): [resulting in righteousness … resulting in salvation]
