The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:11-12

For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed (see above, on Romans 9:33 ). For there is no difference (rather, distinction ) between the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord of all, being rich unto all that call upon him. Here, in Romans 10:12 , the apostle comments on the text from Isaiah, so as to show the universality of its application (see previous note). It is (he would say) in itself applicable to Jew and Gentile alike, and it must needs be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:11-13

Lordship and riches. This passage exhibits the identity of the old covenant and the new. Paul quotes from the prophecies of Isaiah and Joel, in such a manner as to show, not only that he acknowledged the inspired authority of those writers, but also that he regarded words of promise uttered in the former dispensation as valid in the later. The language quoted harmonizes with the widest conceptions of the Divine benevolence, and must have been adduced with especial satisfaction by one so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:11-21

What follows to the end of the chapter is abruptly expressed, in such wise as to render difficult a clear exposition of the intended argument. It seems (as in other parts of the Epistle) as if St. Paul had dictated rapidly, and without pausing to consider whether readers would easily follow the thoughts of which his own mind was full. First, having done with his illustrations from the Pentateuch, he resumes the line of thought expressed at the end of Romans 10:4 , by παντὶ τῷ πιστεύοντι... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:12

Spiritual enrichment. The experience of the apostle was sufficiently large to enable him with confidence to make this sweeping assertion. And the experience of the Church of Christ, through the many centuries which have elapsed since St. Paul thus wrote, enables Christians to make the same assertion with undiminished confidence. In fact, the actual proofs at our disposal and command are overwhelming, both in number and in appropriateness; for, whilst the bestowal of Divine and spiritual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:12

The nature and beneficence of God. Many surface-distinctions between the Jew and Greek may be drawn by men, but none are recognized by God in such wise as to incapacitate some members of the race for seeking salvation at his hands. The text furnishes the basis for such a statement of universal salvability, in its clear enunciation of the nature of God. By implication it negatives many theories when it asserts that "the same Lord is Lord of all," and the following clause contains... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:12-21

The universality of the gospel. The favour of God is free. But the apostle has already indicated another antagonism to the ignorant zeal of his people: the favour of God, being free, is free for all ( Romans 10:4 , Romans 10:11 ). As Godet says, "Paul has justified the matter of his preaching, salvation by grace; he now justifies its extension'' He here sets forth the universality of the gospel as evident from its very freeness, as anticipated by the Law, as consistent with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:12-21

The natural history of faith. From an account of the plan of salvation as faith in and confession of a risen Saviour, the apostle, in the verses now before us, proceeds to consider the natural history of the faith which Jew and Gentile are led to place in the one Lord. For it is most important to know how faith is induced. And here we notice— I. THE RISEN LORD IS WITHIN EVERY ONE 'S CALL . ( Romans 10:12 , Romans 10:13 .) There is no difference in his accessibility... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:13

For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved ( Joel 2:32 ). The text from Joel is in a passage which is distinctly Messianic; the same that is quoted by St. Peter ( Acts 2:16 ) as fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. Hence, and from the fact of πᾶς ὃς ἂν being emphatic in the original, it is well quoted by the apostle as supplementing the previous one from Isaiah, and as conclusive for his argument. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:6

But the righteousness which is of faith - It is observable here that Paul does not affirm that Moses describes any where the righteousness by faith, or the effect of the scheme of justification by faith. His object was different, to give the Law, and state its demands and rewards. Yet though he had not formally described the plan of justification by faith, yet he had used language which would fitly express that plan. The scheme of justification by faith is here personified, as if it were living... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:7

Or who shall descend into the deep? - These words are also a part of the address of Moses, Deuteronomy 30:13. But it is not literally quoted. The Hebrew is, “Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldst say, Who shall go over the sea for us, etc.” The words of the quotation are changed, but not the sense; and it is to be remembered that Paul is not professing to quote the words of Moses, but to “express the language of faith;” and this he does mainly by words which Moses had used, which... read more
