Romans 10:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 10:9

7 or, ^a“ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

8 But what does it say? ^a“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

9 that ^aif you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the Scripture says, ^a“Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

12 For ^athere is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for ^bthe same Lord over all ^cis rich to all who call upon Him.

13 For ^a“whoever calls ^bon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear ^awithout a preacher?
