Romans 10:7

“or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)”

Verse in context — Romans 10

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them.

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

A deep explanation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
