Romans 10:8 Context
6But the righteousnesse which is of faith, speaketh on this wise: Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? That is to bring Christ down from aboue. 7Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? That is to bring vp Christ againe from the dead. 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that is the word of faith which we preach, 9That if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saued. 10For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnesse, and with the mouth confession is made vnto saluation.

Ro 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.
