In this part of his letter to the Romans, Paul is discussing the righteousness that comes from faith. He uses rhetorical questions to emphasize that salvation is not about human efforts or extraordinary tasks. The phrase "Who will descend into the deep?" refers to the idea of going to the realm of the dead, which is an impossible task for humans. Paul is making the point that Christ has already accomplished the work of salvation through His death and resurrection. Believers do not need to bring Christ back from the dead because He is already risen. This underscores the sufficiency of Christ's work and the accessibility of salvation through faith. By using these rhetorical questions, Paul is illustrating that the message of salvation is near and accessible to everyone. It is not about performing impossible deeds but about believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord. This passage reassures Christians that God's grace is readily available, and salvation is a gift that does not require extraordinary human effort.
"or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
