Romans 9:30-10:21 ASV

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:30-33

30-33 The Gentiles knew not their guilt and misery, therefore were not careful to procure a remedy. Yet they attained to righteousness by faith. Not by becoming proselytes to the Jewish religion, and submitting to the ceremonial law; but by embracing Christ, and believing in him, and submitting to the gospel. The Jews talked much of justification and holiness, and seemed very ambitious to be the favourites of God. They sought, but not in the right way, not in the humbling way, not in the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 9:1-99

Romans 9 CHAPTER NINE OPENS another section of the Epistle, a very clearly defined one. In Rom. 1 8 the apostle had unfolded his Gospel, in which all distinction between Jew and Gentile is seen to be non-existent. He knew however that many might regard his teaching as indicating that he had no love for his nation and no regard for God’s pledged word relating to them. Consequently we now have three dispensational chapters in which the mystery of God’s ways concerning Israel are explained to us.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 9:30-33

The conclusion: v. 30. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. v. 31. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. v. 32. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at the stumbling-stone; v. 33. as it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 9:25-33

Stumbling over the Cornerstone Romans 9:25-33 There has been a notable transference of privilege from the Jew to the Gentile believer. This is not due to fickleness on God’s part, but to a fatal defect in the Hebrew people. The vessel that was marred in the potter’s hand suffered not from the clumsiness of the potter, but from some inherent flaw in the clay. The Chosen People stumbled over the law of faith and rejected their Messiah. The Gentiles, on the other hand, have exercised faith in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 9:1-33

The connection between this very remarkable passage and the preceding climax is close. The great certainty of "no separation" is the experience of one in close communion with the Lord experimentally. What the apostle now declared is the outcome of the fact that the sphere of his life is Christ. When this is remembered, we have the key to what else were inexplicable. No man could have written such words unless he were indwelt and dominated by Christ through the Holy Spirit. The first expression... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 9:30

FAITH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS‘The righteousness which is of faith.’ Romans 9:30 There are two aspects of this ‘righteousness which is of faith’ needful for us to keep clearly in view. One is the aspect of righteousness as a relationship or standing before God; the other is the aspect of this same righteousness as so much life and power. I. St. Paul uses the expression, ‘Being justified by faith we have peace with God’—this is ‘the righteousness which is of faith’ as a relationship. Responding to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:1-33

The Messsiah Has Come And Is For All. God Has Not Failed In His Promises To The True Israel. Salvation For All is Through Faith In The Messiah (9:1-11:36) Paul now expands on chapters 1-8, in which he has demonstrated that all, both Jews and Gentiles, have sinned, and that all must therefore find salvation by faith through Jesus Christ, God’s Messiah. And he does it by 1). demonstrating the relationship of both Jews and Gentiles to the Messiah Who has come, and 2). showing that Salvation is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:30-31

‘What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith, but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at the law.’ ‘What shall we say then?’ is a typical Pauline introduction to the next phase in his argument (Romans 4:1; Romans 6:1; Romans 7:7), although at the same time certainly also connecting up with the previous discussion. It summarises the situation from a new point of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:30-33

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
