Romans 10:16-19

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 10:19

Here he proves by three testimonies out of the Old Testament, that the Jews must needs have heard the sound of the gospel, together with the Gentiles; only they rejected it, when the other embraced it. And so he layeth the ground of what he was purposed to handle in the following chapter, concerning the receiving of the Gentiles, and the casting off, and after calling, of the Jews. Did not Israel know; here something must be supplied to make up the sense neither God, or the gospel, or the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:12-18

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:12.—A favourite Pauline expression declaring the exuberant grace of Christ.Romans 10:13.—Double argument for Christ’s divinity. He is called Jehovah, and is invoked.Romans 10:15.—The Midrash shir Hasschium upon these words, “the voice of truth,” etc., says, “This is the voice of King Messiah crying out, and saying, How beautiful upon the mountains,” etc. Those Gentiles who have never heard the gospel preached cannot be condemned for want of faith in Christ.Romans... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 10:18-21

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 10:20.—εὑρέθην, I was found; used of God when exciting men by His benefits to seek and worship Him.Romans 10:21.—Eben Ezra informs us that Moses Hacoben said Romans 10:20 is to be understood of the nations of the world, as if it had been said, I am found of nations which are not called by My name, but to My people have I stretched out My hands; and so the apostle interprets and applies the words here. ἀντιλέγοντα.—The very word used by the Jews at Rome to describe the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 10:1-21

Chapter 10Now Paul again reaffirms his love and desire for his brethren after the flesh.Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge ( Romans 10:1-2 ).They are zealous for God, yes. Some of those zealous ones beat up the mayor in Jerusalem just a day or so ago because of some of his rulings that they felt did not coincide with their desires. They wanted Jerusalem to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 10:1-21

Romans 10:1 . My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Chrysostom’s comment is, my “vehement desire” for their salvation. St. Paul having declared his mind, in the full and flowing language of all the prophets, concerning the equal rights of the gentiles to all the blessings of Abraham’s covenant, here declares his heart in all goodwill for the salvation of his countrymen. This was as balm to the wounds his words had inflicted. Judge then with what... read more

Romans 10:16But they have not all obeyed the gospel.For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? Obedience to the gospel1. Paul prevents an objection to that which was said concerning the preaching of the gospel to the Gentiles, that it was of God. As if some Jew should say, No, Paul, God never sent you to preach to them, for if He had He would have sent you first to us, and have blessed your labours; but the greater part obey you not, either of Jews or Gentiles. This Paul answers by a... read more

Romans 10:17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.How can I obtain faith?If I am thirsty, how shall I quench my thirst? By a draught of water. But in what way can I obtain water? It is enough to tell me to go to the tap or the fountain. There is no need to explain that the water is supplied by a reservoir, having been first drawn from the river, which received it from the clouds. To the thirsty all you want to say is, “There’s the water, drink.” A man is hungry, and he... read more

Romans 10:18-21But I say, Have they not heard?Yes, verily, their sound went into all the earth.Observe I. The original application of these words--voices in nature.II. The apostolic use of them--the multitude of the preachers.III. The analogy established between the natural and the spiritual--the universality of God’s revelation in nature is the promise of the universal spread of the gospel. (J. Lyth, D.D.)Apostolic labours an evidence of Christian truthThe general scope of the apostle is... read more
