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

For with the heart - Not with the understanding merely, but with such a faith as shall be sincere, and shall influence the life. There can be no other genuine faith than what influences the whole mind.Believeth unto righteousness - Believes so that justification is obtained. (Stuart.) In God’s plan of justifying people, this is the way by which we may be declared just or righteous in his sight. The moment a sinner believes, therefore, he is justified; his sins are pardoned; and he is introduced... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:6-9

Romans 10:6-9. Blot the righteousness which is of faith The method of becoming righteous by believing; speaketh A very different language from that of the law, and may be considered as expressing itself thus; (to accommodate to our present subject the words which Moses spake touching the plainness of his law:) Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? as if it were to bring Christ down To teach and instruct us, or to atone for our offences. “The Jews, it would seem,... read more

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

Romans 10:10. For with the heart Not with the understanding only; man believeth unto righteousness So as to obtain justification, regeneration, and holiness, in all its branches; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation So as to obtain eternal salvation. For if we so believe in Christ as to become truly righteous, and manifest that we are so by confessing him to be the Messiah, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, when such a confession might deprive us of our property,... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 10:9

Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.First, it should be noted that this verse contains "doctrine of the gospel" as stated in the foregoing verse. Significantly, it is a pairing of CONFESSION and FAITH as coordinates among the conditions of salvation, that is primary salvation, or pardon from "old sins" (2 Peter 1:9), such as takes place in conversion to Christ. If this passage stood... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.Some of the modern translations have obscured and altered the meaning of God's word in this verse. Thus Phillips has:For it is believing in the heart that makes a man righteous before God, and it is stating his belief by his own mouth that confirms his salvation.This so-called translation changes the meaning of the word of God by making a difference in the FUNCTIONS of faith and of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 10:8

Romans 10:8. The word is nigh thee— The original 'Ρημα, often signifies word, but sometimes affair, business; and so does דבר deber in the Hebrew,—the word used by Moses, Deuteronomy 30:14. In this place the meaning seems to be, the affair is nigh thee, (that is, is rendered easy and feasible,) even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the affair of faith, which we preach. See Matthew 18:16. Luke 1:37; Luke 2:15. 2Co 12:4; 2 Corinthians 13:1. read more
