Romans 10:12-14

Whosoever shall call; Joe 2:32. The apostle quotes from a prophecy relating to the times of the gospel. See the context, Joe 2:28-31. How then shall they call; the quotation from Joel gives the apostle occasion to magnify the office of the gospel preacher, and show the propriety, the wisdom, and goodness of preaching the gospel to the heathen, as had been done by Paul and others, and as had been foretold by the prophets.

1 Corinthians 1:2

Corinth; the capital of Achaia, the south part of Greece.

Sanctified in Christ; Christians.

Call upon the name of Jesus Christ; pray to him. This was the practice of Christians, and distinguished them from other people. The great peculiarity of Christians, that which distinguishes them from all others, is union to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith. This union leads them to love him, pray to him, and delight to honor him by obeying his commands. It leads them also to love one another, and seek for each other, of the Father and the Son, all needed good.

2 Timothy 2:22

Men must not only believe on Christ, but live pure and holy lives, in order to be saved.
