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.”

But what saith it? (alla ti legei). That is "the from faith righteousness."

The word of faith (to rhma thv pistewv). The gospel message concerning faith (objective genitive). Only here. In contrast to the law.

Which we preach (o khrussomen). The living voice brings home to every one the faith kind of righteousness. Paul seizes upon the words of Moses with the orator's instinct and with rhetorical skill (Sanday and Headlam) applies them to the facts about the gospel message about the Incarnation and Resurrection of Christ.
