Romans 10:11

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 10:11

‘For the scripture says, “Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame”.’ The Scriptures confirm this need for faith, for they declare, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame” (Isaiah 28:16), and in context this is referring to belief in the foundation stone, the precious cornerstone, a reference to the Messiah (see Romans 9:33 above). So what he is asking of the Jews is found in their own Scriptures, and they can be sure that if they respond to the Messiah they will have no... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 10:11

The saving effect of faith and confession, spoken of immediately before, is here proved by Scripture. Either he refers to Isaiah 28:16, or Psalms 25:3; or else he means, that this is the general doctrine of the Scripture. See notes on Romans 9:33. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:5-11

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:6. Say not in thine heart.—Unbelief originates from self-confidence. Who shall ascend?—Indicating unbelief in a risen Saviour. Salvation is a completed work; do not trouble about its vastness or its difficulty.Romans 10:7.—ἄβυσσος, the place of departed spirits, supposed by the Jews to be far below the surface of the earth. The Jerusalem Targum renders the words thus: “Oh that there were one like Jonas the prophet who would descend into the depths of the great sea! “Now... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

Chapter 10Now Paul again reaffirms his love and desire for his brethren after the flesh.Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge ( Romans 10:1-2 ).They are zealous for God, yes. Some of those zealous ones beat up the mayor in Jerusalem just a day or so ago because of some of his rulings that they felt did not coincide with their desires. They wanted Jerusalem to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:1-21

Romans 10:1 . My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Chrysostom’s comment is, my “vehement desire” for their salvation. St. Paul having declared his mind, in the full and flowing language of all the prophets, concerning the equal rights of the gentiles to all the blessings of Abraham’s covenant, here declares his heart in all goodwill for the salvation of his countrymen. This was as balm to the wounds his words had inflicted. Judge then with what... read more

Romans 10:1-13Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.Paul’s desire and prayerI. Predestination should be no barrier in the way of prayer. The text derives a special interest from the very position which it occupies. He who saw the farthest into the counsels of the Divinity above, saw nothing there which should affect either the diligence or the devotions of any humble worshipper below. However indelibly the ultimate futurities of man are written in... read more

Romans 10:11-13Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed (see Romans 9:33).The believer not ashamedThat is either--I. Shall not be ashamed by the non-fulfilment of that which is the object of their confident expectation. It is a confidence which they might well cherish and avow--secure as they are from the mockery of any failure or disappointment in their hopes.
