“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;”
But what does it say? 'The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,' that is, the word of faith that we proclaim. — Deuteronomy 30:14 is reapplied: the λόγος (logos, "word") is near (ἐγγύς, engys), accessible (ἐν τῷ στόματί σου, en tō stomati sou, "in your mouth"; ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, en tē kardia sou, "in your heart"). The word of faith (ῥῆμα τῆς πίστεως, rhēma tēs pisteos) is not distant but immediate. Salvation is as simple as confession and belief.
