Romans
10:5-8 (KJV)
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 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;
Romans
10:5-8 (AMP)
5 For Moses writes
that the man who [can] practice the righteousness (perfect conformity to
God’s will) which is based on the Law [with all its intricate demands] shall
live by it.(A) 6 But the righteousness
based on faith [imputed by God and bringing right relationship with Him]
says, 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 [as
if we could be saved by our own efforts].(B) 8 But what does it say? The
Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart;
that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we
preach,(C)
