Romans 10:6-8 “But the righteousness of faith

speaks in this way, ‘Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?’

(that is, to bring Christ down from above) 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).”
