“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. — The dual movement: belief (ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ, en tē kardia, "with the heart") issues in δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē, "justification"); confession (ἐν τῷ στόματι, en tō stomati, "with the mouth") issues in σωτηρία (sōtēria, "salvation"). Heart and mouth work together in faith's economy.
