Romans 10:10, Romans 10:11 ASV

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:6-10

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart (in the original, It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say ) , Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down). The parenthesis is St. Paul's own; the original has, after "heaven," and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead). Again the parenthesis is St. Paul's; and he has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:8-10

The word of faith. Men are quick to excuse their non-acceptance of Christianity. In order to obviate the pretence of the gospel being a system complicated to examine and conform to, the apostle quotes from Deuteronomy (using the passage in a justifiable, though altered signification) to exhibit the simplicity and brevity of the gospel requirements. Nothing impracticable is demanded of would-be converts. The "word of faith" is close at hand and intelligible, ready to be uttered and trusted.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:10

For with the heart - Not with the understanding merely, but with such a faith as shall be sincere, and shall influence the life. There can be no other genuine faith than what influences the whole mind.Believeth unto righteousness - Believes so that justification is obtained. (Stuart.) In God’s plan of justifying people, this is the way by which we may be declared just or righteous in his sight. The moment a sinner believes, therefore, he is justified; his sins are pardoned; and he is introduced... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:10

Romans 10:10. For with the heart Not with the understanding only; man believeth unto righteousness So as to obtain justification, regeneration, and holiness, in all its branches; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation So as to obtain eternal salvation. For if we so believe in Christ as to become truly righteous, and manifest that we are so by confessing him to be the Messiah, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, when such a confession might deprive us of our property,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

Israel responsible for its own loss (9:30-10:21)Whatever God’s purposes may be, the Jews are still responsible for their own loss. They cannot say God has rejected them. They have rejected God. Gentiles, who have no law, are justified by faith, and Jews can be too, if they will believe instead of trying to win God’s favour through keeping the law. They will not accept that the way of salvation for them is the same as for the Gentiles - through faith in Christ (30-33). Paul wants the Jews to be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.Some of the modern translations have obscured and altered the meaning of God's word in this verse. Thus Phillips has:For it is believing in the heart that makes a man righteous before God, and it is stating his belief by his own mouth that confirms his salvation.This so-called translation changes the meaning of the word of God by making a difference in the FUNCTIONS of faith and of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:10

10. For with the heart man believeth unto—justifying righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation—This confession of Christ's name, especially in times of persecution, and whenever obloquy is attached to the Christian profession, is an indispensable test of discipleship. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 10:10

This verse summarizes the ideas in the previous verse in general terms. Paul frequently summarized in Romans, and often these summaries refer to the results of the action in view, as here (cf. Romans 4:25; Romans 5:21; Romans 6:23; Romans 7:25).Belief in Jesus Christ in one’s heart results in acceptance by God (i.e., imputed righteousness, justification, and positional sanctification). Testimony to one’s belief in Jesus Christ normally follows and normally is verbal. Paul was describing the... read more
