ExplanationCommentary
Verse 9. Thou shalt be saved. To confess the Lord Jesus, and to call upon the name of the Lord, (verse 13) is not barely the professing of a belief in the person of Christ: but moreover implies a belief of his whole doctrine, and an obedience to his law; without which the calling of him Lord will save no man. S. Matthew 7:21. Challoner.—This passage must be understood like many others of this apostle, of a faith accompanied by a good-will ready to perform what faith says must be practised; as it is required in this very place, that what we believe in the heart, we should confess with our mouth. Estius.
