Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
For there is no difference—or "distinction"
between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord over all—that is, not God (as CALVIN, GROTIUS, OLSHAUSEN, HODGE), but Christ, as will be seen, we think, by comparing Romans 10:9, Romans 10:12-13 and observing the apostle's usual style on such subjects. (So CHRYSOSTOM, MELVILLE, BENGEL, MEYER, DE WETTE, FRITZSCHE, THOLUCK, STUART, ALFORD, PHILIPPI).
is rich—a favorite Pauline term to express the exuberance of that saving grace which is in Christ Jesus.
unto all that call upon him—This confirms the application of the preceding words to Christ; since to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus is a customary expression. (See Acts 7:59-60; Acts 9:14, Acts 9:21; Acts 22:16; I Corinthians 1:2; II Timothy 2:22).
For the scripture saith—in Isaiah 28:16, a glorious Messianic passage.
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed—Here, as in Romans 9:33, the quotation is from the Septuagint, which renders those words of the original, "shall not make haste" (that is, fly for escape, as from conscious danger), "shall not be put to shame," which comes to the same thing.
