Romans 10:8

Romans 10:8

6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, ^a“Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

7 or, ^a“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

8 But what does it say? ^a“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

9 that ^aif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the Scripture says, ^a“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? What does God's righteousness demand? It replies that we do not have to go either to heaven or to hades to lay hold of salvation, but that the word is nigh thee. The gospel is at hand. Faith in it, nourished in the heart and openly confessed, will secure salvation. This is more fully explained in the next verse.
