SCRIPTURE

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:" — Romans 10:12 (ASV)

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:

In this matter of salvation there is no difference between them.

For the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him.

Jews or Gentiles, they must come to Christ, and come to him by the same simple way of trusting him; and if they do so, they shall be saved.

For the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him.

Someone said to me, "I think that the Roman Catholic Church cannot be the Church of Christ. I do not think that the Church of England is the Church of Christ. Do you think the Baptists are the Church of Christ?" And my answer was, "The Church of Christ is to be found mixed up in all churches, and no churches at all."

It is a people that God has chosen from among humanity, and they are to be found here and there and everywhere, a spiritual seed that God has marked out to be his own. They are known by this—that they call upon the Lord, and the same Lord over all is rich to all that call upon him.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

If there are great numbers to be saved at one time, Christ will not have to do as we do when we have too many guests at a feast, namely, cut the portion of each one smaller. Oh, no! for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:

What a blessed word that is – "There is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile"! There are some who want to keep up that difference. They say that we are Israel, or something of the kind. I do not care what we are. There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.
