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 10:16-21

Israel's unbelief. The more highly the apostle prized the gospel, the more sincerely and compassionately did he lament the folly and the guilt of those who deliberately or carelessly rejected it. Especially was his heart stirred to sorrow, when he observed how generally the glad tidings of life in Christ were rejected by his "kinsmen according to the flesh." Both upon the personal ground of relationship and association, and upon the general ground that Israel's greater privileges involved... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:16-21

The lesson of neglected opportunities. I. IT IS GOD 'S PART TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITIES . "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" ( Romans 10:17 ). The apostle recognizes that men cannot be condemned for unbelief, if they have not had the opportunity-of hearing the gospel, No person will be condemned in the day of judgment who has not had the opportunity of salvation. And lest any one, applying this rule to the case of Israel, should suggest that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:19

But I say, Did not Israel know? (see explanation given above). First, Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you . It may be observed that in the Greek we have the same word, ἔθνει ,, in both classes of the sentence, though, in order to bring out the supposed meaning in the first clause, it is there, in the Authorized Version, rendered "people," and in the second, "nation." The passage occurs in the song attributed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 10:20

But Esaias is very hold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. ( Isaiah 65:1 ). The peculiar boldness of Isaiah's utterance consists in this—that, at a time when Israel was recognized as God's one chosen people, he is said to make himself known even to those who sought him not at all. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:19

But I say ... - Still further to meet the objection, he shows that the doctrine which he was maintaining was actually taught in the Old Testament.Did not Israel know? - Did not the Jews understand. Is it not recorded in their books, etc. that they had full opportunity to be acquainted with this truth? This question is an emphatic way of affirming that they did know. But Paul does not here state what it was that they knew. That is to be gathered from what he proceeds to say. From that it appears... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 10:20

But Esaias - Isaiah 65:1-2.Is very bold - Expresses the doctrine openly, boldly, without any reserve. The word ἀποτολμάω apotolmaō means to dare, to be venturesome, to be bold. It means here that however unpopular the doctrine might be, or however dangerous it was to avow that the Jews were extremely wicked, and that God for their wickedness would cast them off, yet that Isaiah had long since done it. This was the point which Paul was establishing; and against this, the objection was urged,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:18-21

Romans 10:18-21. But I say, Have they not heard As if he had said, Their unbelief was not owing to the want of hearing. For they have heard; yes, verily, &c. So many nations have already heard the preachers of the gospel, that I may, in some sense, say of them as David did of the lights of heaven, Their sound went into all the earth, &c. To the utmost parts of the known world. But I say, Did not Israel know Namely, that the gospel should be preached to the Gentiles, and many... 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
