Romans 10 is the tenth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is authored by Paul the Apostle, while he was in Corinth in the mid-50s AD,[1] with the help of an amanuensis (secretary), Tertius, who adds his own greeting in Romans 16:22.[2] Paul continues his discussion of Israel's rejection of God's purpose which he had commenced in chapter 9: despite his "anguish over Israel"[3] it remains his "heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites that they may be saved".[4]

Text

[edit]

The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 21 verses.

Old Testament references

[edit]

New Testament references

[edit]

Zeal for God not based on knowledge

[edit]

Paul asserts that those Jews who have not believedinJesus Christ are "zealous for God", but their zeal is not based on knowledge (Romans 10:2);[7] or, in the International Children's Bible, "They really try to follow God. But they do not know the right way."

Righteousness according to Moses

[edit]

Verse 5

[edit]

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

— Romans 10:5, New King James Version[8]

The quotation in Romans 10:5 is from Leviticus 18:5.[9][10]

Verse 8

[edit]

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

— Romans 10:8, New King James Version[11]

The quotation in Romans 10:8 is from Deuteronomy 30:14.[12][13]

Verse 9

[edit]

If 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.

— Romans 10:9, New King James Version[14]

Verse 13

[edit]

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

— Romans 10:13, King James Version[17]

The quotation in Romans 10:13 is from Joel 2:32.[18] "The Lord", which originally refers to 'Yahweh', is assigned to Jesusinverse 9.[16]

Hearing and obeying the gospel

[edit]

Using a series of prophetic quotations from Moses, Isaiah and Joel, Paul argues that faith comes through hearing and the gospel must be preached if it is to be heard and obeyed, but also that it was indeed made known to the people of Israel, who have refused to believe, and their disobedience and stubbornness[19] was itself foretold in prophecy (Romans 10:14–21).[20]

Verse 15

[edit]

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good things!"

— Romans 10:15, Modern English Version[21]

Romans 10:15 cites Isaiah 52:7.[22]

Uses

[edit]

Music

[edit]

The King James Version of verses 15 and 18 from this chapter is cited as texts in the English-language oratorio "Messiah" by George Frideric Handel (HWV 56).[23]
