    • "Faith is said to justify, and furthermore seeing the confession of the mouth is an effect of faith, and confession in the way to come to salvation, it follows that faith is also said to save."
  • From Matthew Henry's Commentary.
    • "When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, Christ offered in the word."
  • From Wesley's Notes.
    • "For Moses describeth the only righteousness which is attainable by the law, when he saith, The man who doeth these things shall live by them - that is, he that perfectly keeps all these precepts in every point, he alone may claim life and salvation by them. But this way of justification is impossible to any who have ever transgressed any one law in any point."
  • The Righteousness of Faith (Rom 10:5-8). Sermon by John Wesley.
    • "Again, if there be anything good in sincerity, why dost thou expect it before thou hast faith? -- seeing faith itself is the only root of whatever is really good and holy."
  • From the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
    • "This confession of Christ's name, especially in times of persecution, and whenever obloquy is attached to the Christian profession, is an indispensable test of discipleship."

    • "...the law itself is against the law as a way of securing righteousness."

  • "First Thoughts on Passages on Year C Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Lent 1, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
    • "Paul seeks to work out a theology which is consistently informed by the being and nature of God as caring. Where it poses problems, even for the new Christianity, Paul refuses to surrender it as a starting point."
  • Commentary, Romans 10:5-15, Paul S. Berge, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
    • "This is the word of salvation that God has ordained from before time. Jesus Christ is the word in whom all are called to rejoice, Jew and Gentile. This is the word that calls for heralds of God's promise today."
  • "First Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Pentecost 13, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
    • "The new initiative spells the end of following the biblical Law as a way of being liberated. Back in Roman 7 he has explained why: it does not work."

    • "Paul tells us that we preach because people still need to hear about the God who is generous to all. We preach because people still need to hear there is a God worth believing in. We preach because it is the opportunity for someone to hear some good news."
