Romans 10:6-8

But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down) "or 'Who will descend into the deep?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say?  "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: ...

 

But the righteousness that is by faith 

Romans 9:30  What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.

Romans 1:17  For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." [Habakkuk 2:4] 

Romans 3:22a  This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. 

Romans 4:13  It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

"Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down) 

Deuteronomy 30:12  It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"

Proverbs 30:4  Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!

"or 'Who will descend into the deep?' " 

Deuteronomy 30:13  Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"

Job 28:14  The deep says, "It is not in me"; the sea says, "It is not with me."

(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead) 

Acts 2:24  But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.

"The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," 

Deuteronomy 30:14  No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
