Context of Romans 10:10
8But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 9that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved. For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation. 11For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed. 12For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10For with the heart man believeth, etc. - And be sincere in this: for with the heart, duly affected with a sense of guilt, and of the sufficiency of the sacrifice which Christ has offered, man believeth unto righteousness, believeth to receive justification; for this is the proper meaning of the term here, and in many other parts of this epistle; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. He who believes aright in Christ Jesus will receive such…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10For with the heart - Not with the understanding merely, but with such a faith as shall be sincere, and shall influence the life. There can be no other genuine faith than what influences the whole mind. Believeth unto righteousness - Believes so that justification is obtained. (Stuart.)

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-11Verses 5-11 The self-condemned sinner need not perplex himself how this righteousness may be found. When we speak of looking upon Christ, and receiving, and feeding upon him, it is not Christ in heaven, nor Christ in the deep, that we mean; but Christ in the promise, Christ offered in the word. Justification by faith in Christ is a plain doctrine. It is brought before the mind and heart of every one, thus leaving him without excuse for unbelief. If a man…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-21n this section, Paul addresses a serious question. Many Jews did not believe in Jesus. If God had promised salvation to Israel, how could Jesus truly fulfill God’s plan when so few Jews believed (9:1–5)? In response, Paul uses the Old Testament to show that God always planned to save only a remnant, that is, a smaller group within Israel (9:6–29). Paul also explains that many Jews did not accept Christ because they refused to trust in him (9:30–10:21)…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 5-105-10. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man that doeth--"hath done" those things--which it commands. shall live in them--(Le 18:5). This is the one way of justification and life--by "the righteousness which is of (or, by our own obedience to) the law."Read the comment
