But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming:
creating the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” said יהוה, “and I shall heal him.”
“To this One all the prophets bear witness, that through His Name, everyone believing in Him does receive forgiveness of sins.”
And they said, “Believe on the Master יהושע Messiah, and you shall be saved, you and your household.”
So then belief comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim.
This only I wish to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of Torah, or by the hearing of belief?
Is He, then, who is supplying the Spirit to you and working miracles among you, doing it by works of Torah, or by hearing of belief?
in order to set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word,
“For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it.
If you present these matters to the brothers, you shall be a good servant of יהושע Messiah, being nourished in the words of belief and of the good teaching which you have followed closely.
having been born again – not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible – through the living Word of Elohim, which remains forever,
but the Word of Elohim remains forever.” And this is the Word, announced as Good News to you.
