¹² They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?

⁶ But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

⁷ Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

⁸ But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart: that is, the word of faith of which we are the preachers:

⁴ Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

¹³ And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.
