John Calvin Commentary
"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame." — Romans 10:11 (ASV)
For the Scripture saith, etc. Having stated the reasons why God had justly repudiated the Jews, he returns to prove the calling of the Gentiles, which is the other part of the question he is discussing. As he had then explained the way by which men obtain salvation—a way that is common and open to the Gentiles no less than to the Jews—he now, after first hoisting a universal banner, extends it expressly to the Gentiles and then invites them by name to it. And he repeats the testimony which he had previously cited from Isaiah, so that what he said might have more authority, and that it might also be evident how well the prophecies concerning Christ harmonize with the law.
