John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

Israel rejected through lack of FaithIn Romans 9 St. Paul, defending the gospel against objections founded upon the fact that it had been rejected by the Jews as a whole, showed that God had never bound Himself to the Israelitish race, but had always kept Himself free to choose His own instruments. In Romans 10 he declares that Israel have caused their rejection by failure to recognise God’s methods, and by obstinate rebellion in spite of the patience of His love.1-15. The zeal of the Jews is... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 10:14-21

(14-21) Thus there is a distinct order—belief, confession, invocation. But before either the last or the first of these steps is taken the gospel must be preached. The Jew, however, cannot plead that the gospel has not been preached to him. It has been preached both to Jew and Gentile. Both Moses and Isaiah had foretold the conversion of the Gentiles, and Isaiah had also foretold the unbelief of the Jews. read more

The Present Blessing Romans 10:5-11 Whatever difficulty the commentator may find in this adoption by the Apostle of the words of the lawgiver, the evangelical import of the passage is both clear and rich. The redemption in Christ is set forth with marvellous plainness and power. Note the three leading characteristics of His great salvation. I. It is marked by clearness. The ninth verse gives the true Apostles' creed, 'Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt... read more

Chapter 21JEWISH UNBELIEF AND GENTILE FAITH: PROPHECYRomans 10:1-21THE problem of Israel is still upon the Apostle’s soul. He has explored here and there the conditions of the fact that his brethren, as a mass, have rejected Jesus. He has delivered his heart of its loving human groan over the fact. He has reminded himself, and then his readers, that the fact, however, involves no failure of the purpose and promise of God; for God from the first had indicated limitations within the apparent... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

Contrast Between Israel's Law and Their Need of Grace In Romans 9:1-33 we have seen God's sovereign title maintained in having an elect people according to grace. Now inRomans 10:1-21; Romans 10:1-21 the contrast between law and grace is dwelt upon - law with its cold, formal demands, grace with its warm yearning for the blessing of man, exemplified in Paul's desire for his brethren according to flesh, and in the beautiful feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things - a message law... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

PARENTHESIS CONCERNING ISRAEL These chapters carry us back to chapter 3, where Paul proved the lost condition of the Jew as well as the Gentiles. But if this were so it might be charged that the Old Testament promises to Israel had failed, which he now shows is not the case. This line of argument is threefold: first, some of Israel were already saved (chap. 9); secondly, all of Israel might be saved but for unbelief (chap. 10); thirdly, all of Israel would be saved ultimately (chap. 11).... read more
