bulletFrom Martin Luther's Bible Commentary (1545).
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"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."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"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."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"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."
bulletThe Righteousness of Faith (Rom 10:5-8). Sermon by John Wesley.
bullet"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."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"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."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"...the law itself is against the law as a way of securing righteousness."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:
bullet "First Thoughts on Passages on Year C Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Lent 1, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"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."
bullet Kairos CoMotion Lectionary Discussion, Romans 10:8b-13, Wesley White. "A place of conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
bullet"It might be helpful here to simply focus on the last line with a different translation. 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be found whole.'"
bullet "The Christian Confession of Faith," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
bullet"What does it mean to have the law of God written on our heart?"
bullet "The Righteousness of Faith," Expository Essay, Romans 10:5-13, Dr. William R. Long.
bullet"What ultimately concerns him is the importance of confessing Christ with the lips and believing in him in the heart, which leads to justification. This is the central point of Paul's Gospel."
bullet"The Only Road to Righteousness (Romans 10:1-13)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"You may be ignorant of the Scriptures when you reject that which is clear and compelling, but choose to focus on that which is unrevealed, obscure, or trivial."
bullet"Without Excuse (Romans 10:14-21)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"When I preached on this passage, I asked the congregation to share some of the poorest excuses they had heard."
bullet "Calling on the Lord," analysis and reflection by Michael Hoy in Sabbatheology by The Crossing Community of St Louis.
bullet"This drive to "do in order to live" ends with the discovery that we do not get to live for all our doings."
bullet "First Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Pentecost 12, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"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."

bullet"A nuanced 'oral' reading of Romans 10 suggests that Paul, by employing the written medium (Deut 30:12-14) within an oral performance, was intent on playing to the utopian dreams and desires of the first century."
