Romans 10:10
Compare all
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.”  

Israel Rejects the Gospel

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?  
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
a“How beautiful are the feet of those who1 preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”  
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, a“Lord, who has believed our report?”  
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
a“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”  
19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:
a“I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a bfoolish nation.”

Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth, etc. - And be sincere in this: for with the heart, duly affected with a sense of guilt, and of the sufficiency of the sacrifice which Christ has offered, man believeth unto righteousness, believeth to receive justification; for this is the proper meaning of the term here, and in many other parts of this epistle; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. He who believes aright in Christ Jesus will receive such a full conviction of the truth, and such an evidence of his redemption, that his mouth will boldly confess his obligation to his Redeemer, and the blessed persuasion he has of the remission of all his sins through the blood of the cross. One grand object of the apostle is to show the simplicity of the Gospel scheme of salvation; and at the same time, its great efficacy, it is simple, and very unlike the law, which was full of rites, ordinances, ceremonies, etc., each of which required to be perfectly fulfilled: and yet, after all, even those who had the utmost zeal for God, and, as conscientiously as possible, observed all the precepts of the law, had not attained to justification nor peace of conscience. Whereas both Jews and Gentiles, who had believed on the Lord Jesus according to the simple declarations of the Gospel, were freely justified from all things from which they could not be justified by the law of Moses: and they had the witness in themselves that they were passed from death to life.
