9:26. And it shalt be in the place where it was said unto them: you are
not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
9:27. And Isaias cried out concerning Israel: If the number of the
children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.
A remnant... That is, a small number only of the children of Israel
shall be converted and saved. How perversely is this text quoted for the
salvation of men of all religions, when it speaks only of the converts
of the children of Israel!
9:28. For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because
a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.
9:29. And Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabbath had left us a
seed, we had been made as Sodom and we had been like unto Gomorrha.
9:30. What then shall we say? That the Gentiles who followed not after
justice have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.
9:31. But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come
unto the law of justice.
9:32. Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of
works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.
9:33. As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and a
rock of scandal. And whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.
Romans Chapter 10
The end of the law is faith in Christ. which the Jews refusing to submit
to, cannot be justified.
10:1. Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for
them unto salvation.
10:2. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not
according to knowledge.
10:3. For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish
their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.
The justice of God... That is, the justice which God giveth us through
Christ; as on the other hand, the Jews' own justice is, that which they
pretended to by their own strength, or by the observance of the law,
without faith in Christ.
10:4. For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that
believeth.
10:5. For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that
shall do it shall live by it.
10:6. But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy
heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down;
10:7. Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ
again from the dead.
10:8. But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy
mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.
10:9. For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
Thou shalt be saved... To confess the Lord Jesus, and to call upon the
name of the Lord (ver. 13) is not barely the professing a belief in the
person of Christ; but moreover, implies a belief of his whole doctrine,
and an obedience to his law; without which, the calling him Lord will
save no man. St. Matt. 7.21.
10:10. For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the
mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
10:11. For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be
confounded.
10:12. For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the
same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.
