The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 10:1-21

Paul on the Heart Romans 10:0 Paul could never get away from this word "saved." How much meaning he put into it as he wrote it or uttered it, we can never know. It was a great word to Paul. There are those who tell us to-day that the Church must not regard itself as a great soul-saving organisation. The statement can only be excused on the ground of its unconscious folly; or it can only be defended by assigning to the term "soul-saving" a narrow, and therefore an unapostolic and unscriptural,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 10:14-21

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? (15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! (16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? (17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:18-21

18-21 Did not the Jews know that the Gentiles were to be called in? They might have known it from Moses and Isaiah. Isaiah speaks plainly of the grace and favour of God, as going before in the receiving of the Gentiles. Was not this our own case? Did not God begin in love, and make himself known to us when we did not ask after him? The patience of God towards provoking sinners is wonderful. The time of God's patience is called a day, light as day, and fit for work and business; but limited as a... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 10:1-99

Romans 10 THIS LEADS THE Apostle, in the early part of chapter 10 to contrast the righteousness of the law with that of faith, and once more he expresses his fervent love and desire towards his people. His prayer for them was for their salvation. Very clear proof this, that they were not saved. Religion they had, zeal they had, the law they had, but they were not saved. Wrongly assuming that they were to establish their own righteousness by law-keeping they went about to do it, and miserably... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 10:16-21

Faith and unbelief in their relation to the Gospel: v. 16. But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? v. 17. So, then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. v. 18. But I say, have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound went into all the earth and their words unto the ends of the world. v. 19. But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a... read more

Second Section.—More decided explanation of the mysterious fact. The faith of the Gentiles and the unbelief of IsraelRomans 10:1-21A. Self-righteousness, and the righteousness of faith (Romans 10:1-11)1Brethren, my heart’s desire [or, good-will, εὐδοκία] and prayer1 to God for Israel [on their behalf]2 is, that they might be saved [for their salvation]3: 2For I bear them record [witness] that they have a zeal of God, but not according 3to knowledge. For they, being ignorant of God’s... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 10:11-21

Needing Messengers of Good Tidings Romans 10:11-21 The Chosen People chafed, not only at the freeness of God’s justifying grace, but because there was no difference made, so far as salvation was concerned, between them and the Gentiles. Surely there ought to be a special doorway for them into eternal life, apart from that trodden by the feet of the ordinary heathen world! Were they not the children of Abraham, the friend of God? Here the Apostle was compelled to withstand them. No, said he,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:1-21

The apostle ever had in mind the Master Himself when he spoke of the righteousness of God. The idea of that righteousness, held by Israel was due to their misunderstanding of the written law, their ignorance of its true meaning, because they had not known Christ. Paul knew perfectly well that nothing so soon compels a man to cease seeking to establish his own righteousness as a vision of the righteousness of God. On the way to Damascus he was going about establishing his own righteousness; but... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:14-21

God Has Sent Out His Messianic Messengers To The World But Israel Have Not Listened (10:14-21). Having established that salvation is to be found through faith in Jesus the Messiah, and that it is being offered to ‘whoever’, the question would now arise as to how the ‘whoever’ would hear. So Paul now stresses that the necessary means for reception of the message are in place. God has sent out His Messianic messengers both to Israel and to the world in order to arouse faith in the Messiah, just... read more
