{Into the abyss} (eis t(886e) abusson). See Lu 8:31 for this
old Greek word (a privative and ussos) bottomless like sea
( Ps 106:26 ), our abyss. In Re 9:1 it is the place of torment.
Paul seems to refer to Hades or Sheol ( Ac 2:27,31 ), the other
world to which Christ went after death. {To bring Christ up}
(Christon anagagein). Second aorist active infinitive of
anag(935c) and dependent on katab(8873)etai (shall descend). Christ
has already risen from the dead. The deity and resurrection of
Christ are precisely the two chief points of attack today on the
part of sceptics.
