* *
*D. 10:1-11:12 **ISRAEL**'S REJECTION OF JESUS: OPENED DOOR TO GENTILES*
*1. 10:1-15 MOSES' DECLARATION: JUSTIFICATION IS BY FAITH*
*a. 10:1 SALVATION FOR JEWS: PAUL'S HEART-DESIRE*
A-delPHOI, h*e* men eu-doKIa [2107] t*e*s eM*E*S karDIas kai h*e* DE*e*sis
[1162]
* Brothers, the desire of my :heart and
:supplication*
pros ton TheON huPER auT*O*N eis s*o*-t*e*RIan [4991].
* unto :God is for their
salvation.*
* *
*b. 10:2 ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE: THE STATE OF **JEWS***
mar-tuR*O* [3140] gar auTOIS HOti Z*E*lon [2205] TheOU Echou-sin,
* For I bear them witness that they have a
zeal for God,*
all' ou kat' ePIGn*o*-sin [1922].
* but not according to
knowledge.***
* *
*c. 10:3 MAN'S RIGHTEOUSNESS DISPLACED GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS*
ag-noOUNtes [50] gar t*e*n tou TheOU di-kai-oSUn*e*n,
* For being ignorant of the righteousness
of God,*
kai t*e*n iDIan z*e*TOUNtes ST*E*sai [2476],
* and seeking to establish
their own,*
t*e* di-kai-oSUn*e* tou TheOU ouch hu-peTAg*e*-san [5293].
* they did not submit to the
righteousness of :God.***
* *
*d. 10:4 CHRIST ENDS ROLE OF LAW OVER BELIEVERS*
TElos [5056] gar NOmou ChrisTOS eis di-kai-oSUn*e

M*o*-uS*E*S gar GRAphei HOti t*e*n di-kai-oSUn*e*n t*e*n ek NOmou
* For Moses writes that the man that does the
righteousness*
ho poi*E*sas ANthr*o*-pos Z*E*se-tai [2198] en auT*E*.
* which is of law shall
live thereby.***
* *
*f. 10:6-7 THE MESSAGE OF FAITH CONCERNING THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*
h*e* de ek PISte-*o*s [4102] di-kai-oSUn*e* HOUt*o*s LEgei,
*But the righteousness which is from faith says thus,*
M*e* EIp*e*s en t*e* karDIa sou, Tis a-naB*E*se-tai [305] eis ton ou-raNON
[3772]?
* Say not in your :heart, Who shall ascend into the
hearen?*
(tout' EStin, ChrisTON ka-ta-gaGEIN [2609]:)**
* (that is, to bring
Christ down:)*
*e*, Tis ka-taB*E*se-tai [2597] eis t*e*n Abus-son [12]?
* **7** or, Who shall descend into
the abyss?*
(tout' EStin, ChrisTON ek nekR*O*N [3498] a-na-gaGEIN [321].)
* (that is, to bring Christ up from
the dead.)***
* *
*g. 10:8a WHAT IS THE WORD OF FAITH?*
alLA ti LEgei?
* But what does it
say?** *
* *
*h. 10:8b-10 CONFESSION OF A "LIVING WORD": THE WAY OF SALVATION*
EgGUS sou to HR*E*-MA [4487] es-tin, en t*o* STOmaTI [4750] sou, kai

* The word is nigh you, in your :mouth, and in
your :heart:*
tout' EStin, to HR*E*ma t*e*s PISte-*o*s, ho k
*e*RUSso-men [2784]:
* that is, the word of the faith, which we
preach:*
HOti eAN ho-mo-loG*E*s*e*s [3670] to HR*E*ma en t*o* STOmaTI sou
* **9** because if you shall confess the word
with your :mouth*

* that Jesus is Lord, and shall believe in
your :heart*
HOti ho TheOS auTON *E*gei-ren [1453] ek nekR*O*N, s*o*TH*E*s*e* [4982]:
* that :God raised him from the dead, you
shall be saved: *
karDIa gar pisTEUe-tai eis di-kai-oSUn*e*n;
* **10 **for with the heart one
believes unto righteousness;*
STOma-ti de ho-mo-loGEItai [3670] eis s*o*-t*e*RIan [4991].
* and with the mouth one confesses
unto salvation.***
* *
*i. 10:11 JUSTIFICATION: BASED ON BELIEF IN CHRIST*
LEgei gar h*e* graPH*E*, Pas ho pisTEU*o*n ep' auT*O* ou
ka-tai-schunTH*E*se-tai [2617].
*For the scripture says, Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame.*
**
* *
*j. 10:12-13 BOTH JEW AND GENTILE COME THIS SAME WAY*
ou gar es-tin di-a-stoL*E* [1293] I-ouDAIou te kai HELl*e*-nos:
* For there is no distinction between Jew
and Greek:*

*for he is the same Lord of all,*

*rich unto all that call upon him:*
Pas gar, hos an e-pi-kaLEs*e*-tai to Ono-ma Ku-RIou s*o*TH*E*se-tai [4982].
* **13 **for, Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.***
* *
*k. 10:14-15 THE PREACHER STARTS THIS CHAIN REACTION*
P*o*s oun e-pi-kaLEs*o*n-tai [1941] eis hon ouk ePISteu-san?
*How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?*
p*o*s de pisTEUs*o*-sin hou ouk *E*kou-san [191]?
* and how shall they believe whom they
have not heard?*
p*o*s de aKOUs*o*-sin ch*o*RIS k*e*RUSson-tos [2784]?
* and how shall they hear without
a preacher?*
p*o*s de k*e*RUx*o*-sin, eAN m*e* a-po-staL*O*sin [649]?
* **15** and how shall they preach, except

*How beautiful the feet of them that bring a gospel of good things!***
* *
*2. 10:16-21 GOD'S STRATEGY***
* a. 10:16a MAN'S CHOICE: TO LISTEN OR NOT***
All' ou PANtes huP*E*kou-san [5219] t*o* eu-ag-geLI*o* [2098].
* But they did not all hearken to the
gospel.***
* *
*b. 10:16b THE SAVING CHOICE: TO BELIEVE WHAT IS HEARD*
*E*-SAIas gar LEgei, KUri-e, tis ePISteu-sen t*e* a-ko*E* [189] h*e*M*O*N?

* The faith therefore is by hearing,** **and :hearing by
Christ's word. ***
* *
*d. 10:18a DID **ISRAEL** HEAR?*
alLA LEg*o*, m*e* ouk *E*kou-san?

inhabited earth.*
* *
*f. 10:19a DID **ISRAEL** KNOW?*

enrage you. *

* unto a disobedient and gainsaying
people.*

*NOTE:* This chapter represents God's Master Chess Game! With great and
infinite wisdom God has played off the Jews with the Church of the Gentiles.
The believing Messianic Jews are part of this, but they still do not see the
need of being grafted into the church, even as the Gentile believers need to
be grafted into Israel. Our Jewish Roots await the church to discover, and
the riches of God in Israel's daughter the church is for Israel to find a
place of grafting.
And – salvation of BOTH – is in the SAME MESSIAH – the Only-Begotten Son of
God, Jesus. The Word of Faith – the Word for BOTH to confess – is right in
our mouth. It was in the Spring of 1944 in Victoria, B.C. that I first
openly confessed Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and the One I had chosen to
represent according to His Word, instead of Communism. The moment I did so –
God CONFIRMED His Word, and I was IMMEDIATELY born from above by the Living
Word of God through the Spirit of God. The presence of God so completely
filled the room where I made my first confession, that my friend and I could
scarcely survive in His presence! It took 3 months for me to discover Romans
10:9-10, and realize that I had almost inadvertently fulfilled its
condition, and God in turn confirmed it.
When Jews see God's increasing blessing on the church as Christ's return
draws ever closer, and as the church takes on her high privilege and calling
of praying God's purposes to be fulfilled for Israel – THEN God's plan of
bringing Israel into jealousy will also be fulfilled, and a nation then will
be reached to be born in a day.
So – let us study and meditate upon this chapter, and resolve not to come
short of God's full purposes as revealed here by the Spirit of God through
the apostle Paul.
