Context
The Word Brings Salvation
12For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?…

Romans 10
1. The difference between the righteousness of the law, and that of faith;
11. all who believe, both Jew and Gentile, shall not be shamed;
18. and that the Gentiles shall receive the word and believe.
19. Israel was not ignorant of these things.














for
This conjunction connects the preceding verses with the promise that follows. It serves as a bridge, indicating that what is about to be stated is a reason or explanation for the previous argument. In the context of Romans 10, Paul is discussing the righteousness that comes from faith, contrasting it with the law. The use of "for" here emphasizes the inclusivity and accessibility of salvation through faith.

Everyone
The Greek word used here is "πᾶς" (pas), meaning all or every. This term underscores the universality of the gospel message. It is a powerful declaration that salvation is not limited by ethnicity, social status, or past sins. In the historical context of the early church, this was a radical statement, breaking down barriers between Jews and Gentiles and opening the door for all humanity to receive God's grace.

who calls
The phrase "who calls" comes from the Greek "ἐπικαλέω" (epikaleō), which means to call upon or invoke. This implies an active, intentional action of reaching out to God. It is not a passive acknowledgment but a heartfelt plea for divine intervention. In the biblical context, calling on the Lord signifies a deep trust and reliance on God's power and mercy.

on the name of the Lord
The "name of the Lord" refers to the character and authority of God. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than just a label; it represented the essence of a person. Calling on the name of the Lord means recognizing and appealing to His sovereignty, holiness, and ability to save. This phrase echoes the Old Testament, where calling on God's name was an act of worship and dependence (e.g., Joel 2:32).

will be saved
The Greek word for "saved" is "σωθήσεται" (sōthēsetai), which means to be delivered or rescued. This salvation is comprehensive, encompassing deliverance from sin, death, and eternal separation from God. It is a promise of spiritual renewal and eternal life. Historically, this assurance of salvation was a cornerstone of early Christian preaching, offering hope and assurance to believers facing persecution and trials.

(13) Upon the name of the Lord.--Originally, as meaning "of Jehovah," but with especial reference to the Messianic Advent. Here, therefore, it is applied to our Lord.

Verse 13. - For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Joel 2:32). The text from Joel is in a passage which is distinctly Messianic; the same that is quoted by St. Peter (Acts 2:16) as fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. Hence, and from the fact of πᾶς ο{ς α}ν being emphatic in the original, it is well quoted by the apostle as supplementing the previous one from Isaiah, and as conclusive for his argument.
