Rom 10:9. Εἀν) if only-ὁμολογήσῃς, thou shalt confess) Confession in itself does not save; otherwise infants would not be saved: but only in as far as it includes faith.-Κύριον, the Lord) The summary of faith and salvation is found in this appellation. He who confesses that Jesus is Lord, does not now any longer [now for the first time ceases to] endeavour to bring Him down from heaven.-ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, hath raised Him from the dead) The special object of faith. He who believes the resurrection of Jesus does not now any longer endeavour to bring Him from the dead, Rom 10:7.
