Romans 10:7 Context
5For Moses describeth the righteousnesse which is of the Law, that the man which doeth those things shall liue by them. 6But the righteousnesse which is of faith, speaketh on this wise: Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? That is to bring Christ down from aboue. 7Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? That is to bring vp Christ againe from the dead. 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that is the word of faith which we preach, 9That if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saued.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 10:7
Ro 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? Another stumbling block with the Jews was the death and burial of Christ. When Jesus died on the cross, they held it to be proof that he was not the Christ. Bring up Christ again from the dead. They still were wont to demand that they should see the Risen Christ with their own eyes, or that he be produced from the realms of the dead. To have met the demands of the Jews would have been sight rather than faith.
