Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 10:18

_ _ But I say, Have they not heard? — “Did they not hear?” Can Israel, through any region of his dispersion, plead ignorance of these glad tidings?

_ _ Yes, verily, their sound went — “their voice went out”

_ _ into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world — These beautiful words are from Psalms 19:4. Whether the apostle quoted them as in their primary intention applicable to his subject (as Olshausen, Alford, etc.), or only “used scriptural language to express his own ideas, as is done involuntarily almost by every preacher in every sermon” [Hodge], expositors are not agreed. But though the latter may seem the more natural since “the rising of the Sun of righteousness upon the world” (Malachi 4:2), “the Dayspring from on high visiting us, giving light to them that sat in darkness, and guiding our feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:78, Luke 1:79), must have been familiar and delightful to the apostle’s ear, we cannot doubt that the irradiation of the world with the beams of a better Sun by the universal diffusion of the Gospel of Christ, must have a mode of speaking quite natural, and to him scarcely figurative.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 10:12-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 10:18

But their unbelief was not owing to the want of hearing For they have heard. Yes verily — So many nations have already heard the preachers of the gospel, that I may in some sense say of them as David did of the lights of heaven. Psalms 29:4

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 10:18

(12) But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

(12) An objection: if calling is a testimony of election, were not the Jews called? Why should I not grant that, says the apostle, seeing that there is no nation which has not been called? Much less can I say that the Jews were not called.
