Misunderstanding, Nationalism, or Legalism. Richard Wellons Winston
Romans, 276; Longenecker, Romans, 831; Stuhlmacher, Romans, 152; Toews, “Law,” 106. Other commentators such as Dodd, Fitzmyer, and Wilckens view 9:30–33 as transitional to the main argument in 10:1–13 (Romans, 160; Romans, 576; and Römer, 2:211, respectively). However, two factors warrant against this. First, since 9:30–33 contains the same contrast one finds in 10:1–13, one would expect the latter paragraphs to develop what is stated in the first. Second, the occurrence of μὲν without other particles indicates that μὲν functions in 10:1 as a marker of continuation (BDAG, 630). Paul begins his argument in 9:30–33 and continues it in 10:1–13. The content of 9:30–33 is foundational and essential, not just transitional.
24. As argued by Barth, People of God, 39–40; Gaston, Paul and the Torah, 99, 142; Wright, Paul, 1166; Wright, Romans, 646–47. For the argument that the theme of gentile inclusion receives equal emphasis with the explanation of Israel’s failure, see Kaylor, Paul’s Covenant Community, 166; Mohrmann, “Semantic Collisions,” 268; Toews, Romans, 257; Watson, Beyond the New Perspective, 322–33.

26. While we are confining our inquiry to Rom 9:30–10:21, Longenecker notes that Paul uses more OT quotations, biblical allusions, and proverbial materials based on OT Scripture in Rom 9:30—10:21 than he does in 9:6–29 (Romans, 830).
27. Moo, Epistle to the Romans, 618. Pattee observes, “looking at the wider parameters of Romans 9 and 10, the influence of the OT is clearly discernable at almost every juncture” (“Stumbling Stone,” 155).
