Commentary on Romans 10:7

Theological / Devotional

Who shall descend? Instead of “Who shall go over the sea for us?” (Deut. 30:13), Paul says, “Who shall descend into the deep?” As there was no need for the Israelites to search beyond the sea to bring back God’s commandments, so there is no need for anyone to descend into the deep to bring up Christ. He has already risen.

The deep. Gr. abussos, “the abyss” (see on Mark 5:10). Paul apparently applies the term to the place of the dead, to which Christ had “descended.”
