i dont like to pluck verses from context let’s look at what’s being said as the verse emerges and as it has concluded ( the context within scripture i mean) which I quoted earlier somewhere here but
“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; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:8-13 KJV
My thoughts are that’s all true but it’s not several seperate ideas it’s part of a concept Paul’s explaining all the verses are like if I wrote a letter to you I might take seven or eight sentences to say “ what I’m saying “
I don’t like to isolate single verses I do it also often but usually the verse is explained and understood by what the writer or Jesus was saying in the paragraph or chapter it’s found is my own experience with the Bible
then of course Paul and Peter and even Jesus often quoted old testsment scripture like Paul there was quoting Moses
“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Deuteronomy 30:14-19 KJV
Paul is giving the New Testament version of that based on the gospel Jesus taught
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
John 20:28-29 KJV
“but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
John 20:31
Each point doesn’t cancel out the others it builds upon the first which is believing in jesus we aren’t to say well I believe in Jesus therefore “I get to ignore all he said about salvation “ we have to acknolwedge him as our lord
