Romans 10:7

And don’t think that somebody has to go down to the place where the dead people are, to get Jesus Christ and make him alive again.

Plain English Version

In The King James Version

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

In Context

6But God’s book also tells us that if we trust God, he will say that we are all right, even though we don’t always do everything in God’s law. So don’t think that somebody has to go up to heaven, to bring Jesus Christ down to the earth.

8This is what God says in his book, “You already have God’s message. You know that message, so you can think about it, and you can talk about it.” That message is the same message that we tell everybody. We say, “You have to trust Jesus.”
