Romans 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 10:11

For the Scripture saith
Of this form of expression, or mode of speaking, (See Gill on Romans 9:17). The passage referred to is ( Isaiah 28:16 ) , cited before in ( Romans 9:33 ) ; the view with which it is produced is to prove the certain connection between faith and righteousness, and confession and salvation; or in other words, to observe that such who cordially believe in Christ, and make a sincere profession of their faith in him, shall be saved. There are some things somewhat different from, though agreeing in sense with, the words as they stand in the prophet; there it is indefinitely said, "he that believeth", here an universal is made use of,

whosoever,
or "everyone"

that believeth:
which phrases are equipollent, and a certain truth it is, that whosoever believes in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, be he who he will, shall surely be saved: here the object believed in, is expressed

in him,
which is there implied, and may easily be understood of the stone laid in Zion for a foundation, which is Christ; for other foundation can no man lay, and whoever by faith builds on this foundation is safe:

and shall not be ashamed;
neither in this world, nor in that to come; in the Hebrew text it is, "shall not make haste"; how this may be reconciled, (See Gill on Romans 9:2), (See Gill on Romans 9:3).

Romans 10:11 In-Context

9 quia si confitearis in ore tuo Dominum Iesum et in corde tuo credideris quod Deus illum excitavit ex mortuis salvus eris

10 corde enim creditur ad iustitiam ore autem confessio fit in salutem

11 dicit enim scriptura omnis qui credit in illum non confundetur

12 non enim est distinctio Iudaei et Graeci nam idem Dominus omnium dives in omnes qui invocant illum

13 omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit
