ローマ人への手紙 13:13-14 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

A startling summons. The admonition of this passage is especially addressed to Christians; yet to Christians who stand peculiarly in need of a rousing appeal and summons, to call them to a more spiritual and a more watchful life. I. THE CRISIS OF LIFE . 1. The night is well-nigh gone. Between our Lord's first and second comings stretches the dawn of the world. Behind his first coming lay the night of humanity. Beyond his second advent the daylight beams, with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

Night and day. Christian motives are brought forward to incite to moral duties. We are called upon to do right, not only by the voices of expediency and of authority, but by the voice of revelation. Christians are addressed as those who know the seasons, who discern the signs of the times, who regard the present as a period of probation, of discipline, of education, and whose gaze is ever forwards, whose hope is in their Lord's return to judge and to save. I. THE RETROSPECT OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

Awake and arm! It is strange that, at the very commencement of a new dispensation, the prospect of its close should be so often presented to the view. No sooner had Christ's first coming ended, than his people were taught to anticipate his second coming. Thus the thoughts and affections of Christians are clustered around their Lord, and the revelation of the past suggests the approaching epiphany. The contrasts of this passage are very striking. When carefully analyzed, they appear— I. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

The Christian's duty in the present age. The Christian is not to be insensible to the movements of the world. "Knowing the time," says the apostle ( Romans 13:11 ). Mr. Spurgeon says he reads the newspapers to see how God is governing the world. It is well for us to know what are the current beliefs and motives of our fellow-men. I. THE CHRISTIAN 'S CONFIDENCE . 1. " The night is far spent. " 2. " The day is at hand. " The day of our Saviour's coming is rapidly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

The day breaketh! "And this"—the work of progressive sanctification, in all its aspects and relations—this surely claims our strong attention now, when the day of God is nigh unto dawning! For, visibly to us, the shadows pass and the morning breaks. It is the night-watch still, but the day is at hand. We have here to consider—the nearness of the day of God; our full awaking. I. THE DAY OF GOD . In and through all the declarations of the Scriptures there mingles this warning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:11-14

The approach of day. Sin has been defined as "an act or state inconsistent with the relations" in which we stand. To act as our position demands is to act rightly. The apostle appeals to Christians as reasonable individuals desiring to behave as befits their condition. Incongruities excite ridicule, as when the sailor walks on land as if he had to steady himself against the tossing of his ship. Who has not dreamed of being found in daylight in the street attired in the garments of sleep,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 13:13-14

As in the day, let us walk honestly , and of the things done in secret of which it is a shame to speak; cf. Ephesians 5:11 , Ephesians 5:12 ); not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying ( rather, jealousy, denoting jealous wrath, cf. Acts 13:45 ). But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ . The figure of a new investment being renewed from Ephesians 5:12 , it is here Christ himself who is to be put on. So also Galatians 3:27 ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 13:13

Let us walk - To “walk” is an expression denoting “to live;” let us “live,” or “conduct,” etc.Honestly - The word used here means rather in a “decent’ or “becoming” manner; in a manner “appropriate” to those who are the children of light.As in the day - As if all our actions were seen and known. People by day, or in open light, live decently; their foul and wicked deeds are done in the night. The apostle exhorts Christians to live as if all their conduct were seen, and they had nothing which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 13:14

But put ye on - Compare Galatians 3:17. The word rendered “put ye on” is the same used in Romans 13:12, and is commonly employed in reference to “clothing” or “apparel.” The phrase to “put on” a person, which seems a harsh expression in our language, was one not infrequently used by Greek writers, and means to imbibe his principles, to imitate his example, to copy his spirit, to become like him. Thus, in Dionysius Halicarnassus the expression occurs, “having put on or clothed themselves with... read more

Romans 13:13. Let us walk honestly Greek, ευσχημονως , decently, or in a manner becoming those to whom the glorious light of the gospel has appeared: as in the day Namely, of gospel light, already shining about us, which requires that we conduct ourselves with great wisdom, and exemplary holiness; not in rioting Greek, κωμοις , a word derived from Comos, the god of feasting and revelling; that is, feasting with lascivious songs, accompanied with music. “These revellings among the... read more
