Classis Scholars, what do you make of the passives in Romans 10:10 ESV: "For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Puritan Thomas Goodwin suggested in his sermon on 1 Timothy 1 that the the passive of this same verb should be translated as "Befaithed." Then further study shows that the passive of "confess" is "to be introduced." Then we note the accusative cases following "eis" and conclude that Romans 10:10 seemingly could read. "For the heart is befaithed into righteousness/justification, and with the mouth one is introduced into salvation." And how does the heart come to such a befaithing? What does this say about the usual application of this text? Couldn't this be further support with Romans 4:16 that faith is a gift? Is that how contemporary Christianity sees faith?
