INTRODUCTION TO Romans 10 In this chapter are contained an account of the two righteousnesses of faith and works, a summary of the Gospel of Christ, a description of the grace of faith, in the nature, use, and means of it, and several testimonies concerning the calling of the Gentiles; and whereas the apostle knew that this, as well as what he had said in the latter part of the preceding chapter,...

For. Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,.... In this, and some following verses, an account is given of the two righteousnesses before mentioned, called their own and the righteousness of God; and that chiefly in the words of Moses, which is wisely done by the apostle, he and his writings being in great esteem among the Jews. The description he gives of the righteousness of...
Matthew Henry
The dissolving of the peculiar church-state of the Jews, and the rejection of that polity by the repealing of their ceremonial law, the vacating of all the institutions of it, the abolishing of their priesthood, the burning of their temple, and the taking away of their place and nation, and in their room the substituting and erecting of a catholic church-state among the Gentile nations, though to...

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. That is the righteousness of the law. We are not under that covenant now. We shall never attain to righteousness that way.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Ah! that is a very different sort of thing. It does not speak about doing and living, “but the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses— The Holy Spirit wisely directed the apostle to quote from Moses, for he was the lawgiver, and was looked upon by the Jews as the great representative of the law.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend late heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee,—...
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth these things shall live by them. That is the message of the law: “Do, and live.” But the message of the gospel is, “Live, and do;” — a very different thing. The law says, “Work to obtain life.” The gospel says, “You have life freely given to you in Christ Jesus; now work for him because you live by him.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, — And he does it in very brief, concise, and satisfactory terms: — Rom_10:5. That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. That is the beginning and end of the law, “Do and live.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith- Is of quite another sort, for it —
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. And if any man did, or could keep the law, he would live by it, but no man has ever done so, or ever will. There is no hope of life by the law.
Charles H. Spurgeon
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, And being the one through whom the law was given, he knew how to describe it; and we may be sure that he made no mistake. This is his description of legal righteousness: — Rom_10:5. That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. That is it: “Do and live.” That is the law, and a very just law, too. Leave anything undone, or...
