Romans 10:6
_ _ But the — justifying
_ _ righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise — “speaketh thus” — its language or import is to this effect (quoting in substance Deuteronomy 30:13, Deuteronomy 30:14).
_ _ Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down, etc. — that is, “Ye have not to sigh over the impossibility of attaining to justification; as if one should say, oh! if I could but get someone to mount up to heaven and fetch me down Christ, there might be some hope, but since that cannot be, mine is a desperate case.” |
Romans 10:6
But the righteousness which is by faith — The method of becoming righteous by believing. Speaketh a very different language, and may be considered as expressing itself thus: (to accommodate to our present subject the words which Moses spake, touching the plainness of his law:) Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, as if it were to bring Christ down: or, Who shall descend into the grave, as if it were to bring him again from the dead — Do not imagine that these things are to be done now, in order to procure thy pardon and salvation. Deuteronomy 30:14. |
Romans 10:6
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, (e) Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down [from above]:)
(e) Do not think to yourself, as men that are doubting do. |

|
- Say not:
- The Apostle here takes the general sentiment, and expresses it in his own language; beautifully accommodating what Moses says of the law to his present purpose.
Deuteronomy 30:11-14 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off. ... But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
