Romans 10:10

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:5-11

5-11 The self-condemned sinner need not perplex himself how this righteousness may be found. When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, Christ offered in the word. Justification by faith in Christ is a plain doctrine. It is brought before the mind and heart of every one, thus leaving him without excuse for unbelief. If a man confessed faith in Jesus, as the Lord and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 10:1-99

Romans 10 THIS LEADS THE Apostle, in the early part of chapter 10 to contrast the righteousness of the law with that of faith, and once more he expresses his fervent love and desire towards his people. His prayer for them was for their salvation. Very clear proof this, that they were not saved. Religion they had, zeal they had, the law they had, but they were not saved. Wrongly assuming that they were to establish their own righteousness by law-keeping they went about to do it, and miserably... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 10:5-10

The universality of the righteousness of faith proved by the Old Testament: v. 5. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law, that the man which doeth those things shall live by them. v. 6. 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;) v. 7. or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) v. 8. But what saith it? The... read more

Self-righteousness, and the righteousness of faith (Romans 10:1-11)1Brethren, my heart’s desire [or, good-will, εὐδοκία] and prayer1 to God for Israel [on their behalf]2 is, that they might be saved [for their salvation]3: 2For I bear them record [witness] that they have a zeal of God, but not according 3to knowledge.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 10:1-10

Missing God’s Way of Salvation Romans 10:1-10 How earnestly the Apostle loved his own people! All their hatred of him could not extinguish the passionate devotion which he entertained for them. “Apostle to the Gentiles” he might be, but he was essentially an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin, Romans 11:1 . The whole reason of their rejection of the gospel lay in their inveterate refusal to submit, Romans 10:3 . Is not that the difficulty with us all? It is not... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:1-21

The apostle ever had in mind the Master Himself when he spoke of the righteousness of God. The idea of that righteousness, held by Israel was due to their misunderstanding of the written law, their ignorance of its true meaning, because they had not known Christ. Paul knew perfectly well that nothing so soon compels a man to cease seeking to establish his own righteousness as a vision of the righteousness of God. On the way to Damascus he was going about establishing his own righteousness; but... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

The Eternal Destiny Of All People, Both Jew And Gentile, Is Based On Belief In God’s Messiah, Jesus Christ. (9:30-10:21). There is now a vast change in Paul’s argument, for it will be noted that from Romans 9:30 to Romans 10:17 Paul lays huge emphasis on faith and on believing in Jesus Christ, this in contrast with Romans 9:6-29 where they are not mentioned. Faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah undergirds this whole passage. The Greek words for faith and/or believing occur in almost every... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:5-13

The Righteousness Which Is Of The Law Is Compared With The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith, That Is, The Righteousness Which Results From Faith In The Messiah, And What He Has Done For Us Through His Death And Resurrection (10:5-13). In this third contrast between the righteousness which is of the Law and the righteousness which is of faith there is a contrast between the life obtainable through the Law, and the full salvation available through Christ. In it Paul cites Moses in order to define... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:10

‘Because with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’ This believing from the heart (that is, from the whole inner man) that God has raised Him from the dead (as the One Who had claimed to be the Messiah and had been crucified) will result in reception of the righteousness which comes from faith. See especially Romans 4:25 where Christians are revealed as ‘accounted as righteous’ (justified) through His having been raised, in consequence... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:5-15

Romans 10:5-Ezra : . The New Way of Righteousness. Romans 10:5 . The legal plan was “ Do, and thou shalt live” ( Leviticus 18:5). Romans 10:6-2 Samuel : . But there is a deeper secret: behind the deed the heart, voiced by the mouth; and “ with the heart man believes, with the mouth confesses” ( Romans 10:10). To “ believe unto righteousness” is to believe so as to gain righteousness ( Romans 4:4 f.). In the oracle of Deuteronomy 30:12 f., “ the righteousness that comes of faith” spoke... read more
