  • Romans Study Notes—Chapter 10
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 10:15

      How beautiful are the feet: Paul is here quoting from Isa 52:7. The Scriptures commonly refer to parts of the human body as representing the whole person. Isaiah figuratively speaks as if the messenger were approaching Jerusalem from the nearby mountains of Judah. It would have been impossible to see the messenger’s feet from that distance, so the focus here is on the arrival of the messenger. “The feet” stand for the messenger and for the efforts he makes to proclaim good news. God viewed “the feet” of Jesus and his disciples as beautiful, or precious, because they fulfilled this prophecy and brought “good news of good things.”​—See study note on those who declare good news of good things in this verse.

      those who declare good news of good things: Paul is quoting Isa 52:7, which mentions “the one bringing good news” in singular. During Babylonian captivity, a messenger bearing news of deliverance must have been a welcome sight. However, Isaiah’s prophecy finds a greater fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the greatest proclaimer of good news. Paul expands the application of Isaiah’s statement still further by referring to “those [plural] who declare good news.” In imitation of Jesus, all Christians are messengers of the good news of peace.
