Romans 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

(See Gill on Romans 10:6).

Romans 10:7 In-Context

5 For Moses writes about the righteousness [that is] from the law: "The person who does [this] will live by it."

6 But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down),

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

8 But what does it say? "The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim),

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