Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 10:5-10

_ _ 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 — (Leviticus 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.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 10:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 10:5

For Moses describeth the only righteousness which is attainable by the law, when he saith, The man who doeth these things shall live by them — that is, he that perfectly keeps all these precepts in every point, he alone may claim life and salvation by them. But this way of justification is impossible to any who have ever transgressed any one law in any point. Leviticus 18:5

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 10:5

(4) For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

(4) That the law is points to Christ and is inclined to him is manifestly proved, because it propounds such a condition as can be and is fulfilled, by none but Christ alone: which being imputed to us by faith, our conscience is quieted, so that now no man can ask, "Who can ascend up into heaven, or bring us from hell?", seeing that the gospel teaches that both of these is done by Christ and that for their sake's, who with true faith embrace him who calls them.
