Romans 10:13

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:12-17

12-17 There is not one God to the Jews, more kind, and another to the Gentiles, who is less kind; the Lord is a Father to all men. The promise is the same to all, who call on the name of the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, as God manifest in the flesh. All believers thus call upon the Lord Jesus, and none else will do so humbly or sincerely. But how should any call on the Lord Jesus, the Divine Saviour, who had not heard of him? And what is the life of a Christian but a life of prayer? It shows... 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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 10:11-13

The testimony of Scripture for the righteousness of faith: v. 11. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. v. 12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. v. 13. for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The form or method of salvation as taught in the Gospel is not only the sole way to get to heaven, but it is also the only method which can be made... read more

Second Section.—More decided explanation of the mysterious fact. The faith of the Gentiles and the unbelief of IsraelRomans 10:1-21A. 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. For they, being ignorant of God’s... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 10:11-21

Needing Messengers of Good Tidings Romans 10:11-21 The Chosen People chafed, not only at the freeness of God’s justifying grace, but because there was no difference made, so far as salvation was concerned, between them and the Gentiles. Surely there ought to be a special doorway for them into eternal life, apart from that trodden by the feet of the ordinary heathen world! Were they not the children of Abraham, the friend of God? Here the Apostle was compelled to withstand them. No, said he,... read more

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 10:11-15

Missions in the Epistles Romans 10:11-15 ; Romans 11:15-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS This study as a whole will give some idea of the missionary vision as set forth in Paul's Epistles. 1. The scope of missionary endeavor. Romans 10:11 reads: "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." Here is a "whosoever" just as deep and broad as the "whosoever" in John 3:16 . In John it says, "That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish," and here it says, " Whosoever believeth on Him shall not... 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's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:12-13

‘For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same (Lord) is Lord of all, and is rich unto all who call on him, for, “Whoever will call on the name of the LORD will be saved.” ’ The reference in Isaiah to ‘whoever’ is now seen by Paul as evidence that the Messiah is for all, something confirmed by the fact that He is LORD of all (compare Peter’s words in Acts 10:36). Thus there is no distinction between Jew and Greek (Greek speaking Gentiles). All must respond to His Lordship... read more
