L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 10:1-21

Contrast Between Israel's Law and Their Need of Grace In Romans 9:1-33 we have seen God's sovereign title maintained in having an elect people according to grace. Now inRomans 10:1-21; Romans 10:1-21 the contrast between law and grace is dwelt upon - law with its cold, formal demands, grace with its warm yearning for the blessing of man, exemplified in Paul's desire for his brethren according to flesh, and in the beautiful feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things - a message law... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

PARENTHESIS CONCERNING ISRAEL These chapters carry us back to chapter 3, where Paul proved the lost condition of the Jew as well as the Gentiles. But if this were so it might be charged that the Old Testament promises to Israel had failed, which he now shows is not the case. This line of argument is threefold: first, some of Israel were already saved (chap. 9); secondly, all of Israel might be saved but for unbelief (chap. 10); thirdly, all of Israel would be saved ultimately (chap. 11).... read more

Joseph Parker

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

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 10:19

A people whom you have always despised, as not being worthy to be numbered amongst mankind, I will make my beloved people. I will enrich with my graces those whom you have contemned; I will give them the grace of adoption, thus to stir you up to jealousy and rage. And in effect, what greater rage ever was there, than that of the Jews against the converted Gentiles? In persecution, the Jews were always most busy. Thus were the Jews plainly informed of the truth of the gospel, by the Gentiles... 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
