Rom. 10
:1
10:1
Brothers, the good pleasure of my heart and my petition to God for them is for
their asalvation.
Rom. 10
:2
10:2
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full knowledge;
Rom. 10
:3
10:3
For because they were ignorant of God's righteousness and sought to
1establish their own righteousness, they were not subject to the
arighteousness of God.
5.
Through Christ
10:4-21
a.
Christ, the end of the law
v.4
Rom. 10
:4
10:4
For Christ is the
1aend of the law unto righteousness to everyone who believes.
b.
Christ, incarnated and resurrected
vv. 5-7
Rom. 10
:5
10:5
For Moses writes
concerning the righteousness which is out of the law:
a"The man who does them shall live by them.''
Rom. 10
:6
10:6
But the righteousness which is out of faith speaks in this way,
a"Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into
bheaven?'' that is, to
1bring Christ down;
Rom. 10
:7
10:7
Or,"Who will descend into the
1abyss?'' that is, to
2bring Christ up from the dead.
c.
Christ, who is near
v.8
Rom. 10
:8
10:8
But what does it say?
1a"The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,'' that is, the word of the faith which we proclaim,
d.
Christ, believed in and called upon
vv. 9-13
Rom. 10
:9
10:9
That if you
aconfess with your
1mouth bJesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has
2craised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom. 10
:10
10:10
For 1with the heart there is believing
2unto righteousness, and
1with the mouth there is confession
2unto salvation.
Rom. 10
:11
10:11
For the Scripture says,
a"Everyone who believes on Him shall not be put to shame.''
Rom. 10
:12
10:12
For there is no distinction between
aJew and Greek, for the same Lord
is bLord of all
and 1crich to all who
dcall upon Him;
Rom. 10
:13
10:13
For a"whoever
1calls upon the name of the Lord shall be
2bsaved.''
e.
Christ, proclaimed and heard
vv. 14-15
Rom. 10
:14
10:14
How then shall they call upon
Him into whom they have not
1believed? And how shall they believe
into Him of whom they have not
2heard? And how shall they hear without one who proclaims
Him?
Rom. 10
:15
10:15
And how shall they proclaim
Him unless they are sent? As it is written,
a"How beautiful are the
bfeet of those who announce the news of good things!''
f.
Christ, received or rejected
vv. 16-21
Rom. 10
:16
10:16
But not all have
1aobeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says,
b"Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?''
Rom. 10
:17
10:17
So faith
comes out of
ahearing, and hearing through the
bword of Christ.
Rom. 10
:18
10:18
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes surely:
a"Their voice has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth.''
Rom. 10
:19
10:19
But I say, Did Israel not know
this? First, Moses says,
a"I will
bprovoke you to jealousy by
them who are not a nation; by a nation without understanding I will anger you.''
Rom. 10
:20
10:20
And Isaiah is very bold and says,
a"I was found by those who did not seek Me; I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me.''
Rom. 10
:21
10:21
But with regard to Israel he says,
a"All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a people who disobey and contradict.''
