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 10:13

That the Lord is rich unto all that call upon him, is confirmed here by a testimony out of Joel 2:32, which is also cited by St. Peter, Acts 2:21. The apostle’s argument may be thus formed: If whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, then the Lord is rich to all that call upon him; for no riches are comparable to salvation; but the former is true, therefore the latter. Whosoever, whether Jew or Gentile, shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved; i.e. on him whose name... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:12-18

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:12.—A favourite Pauline expression declaring the exuberant grace of Christ.Romans 10:13.—Double argument for Christ’s divinity. He is called Jehovah, and is invoked.Romans 10:15.—The Midrash shir Hasschium upon these words, “the voice of truth,” etc., says, “This is the voice of King Messiah crying out, and saying, How beautiful upon the mountains,” etc. Those Gentiles who have never heard the gospel preached cannot be condemned for want of faith in Christ.Romans... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 10:12-15

DISCOURSE: 1891SALVATION BY CHRIST UNIVERSALLY TO BE PROCLAIMEDRomans 10:12-15. There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 10:1-13

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. All the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; and it is because of their certain and punctual accomplishment, that... read more
