“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)”
But the righteousness that is by faith says: 'Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down)' — Paul cites Deuteronomy 30:12, reinterpreting it as faith-language. Ascending to heaven to bring Christ down is unnecessary; faith does not require such impossible achievement. Christ is already here; faith grasps him.
