Romans 10:1

Verse 1

7. The Jew has Failed by preferring Birth-and-work conditions to that of Faith , Romans 10:1-11 .

1. Brethren The rebuking Who art thou, O man, is now softened down, and the apostle recognises, as in Romans 9:1-6, that the rebellious Jew is his dear brother. Still he firmly proceeds to maintain the charge that Israel’s downfall is his own fault. God’s willing as he pleased to have mercy was all conditioned on Israel’s faith, and Israel was fatally faithless. This whole chapter is a conclusive denial of the Calvinistic interpretation of chapter 9.
