The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:18-19

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought through me unto the obedience of the Gentiles (meaning, I will not dare to speak, of any mere doings of my own, but only of those in which the power of Christ working through my ministry has been displayed) by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders ( i.e. displays of miraculous power. It is noteworthy how St. Paul alludes incidentally in his letters to such "signs and wonders" having accompanied his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:18

For I will not dare to speak - I should be restrained; I should be afraid to speak, if the thing were not as I have stated. I should be afraid to set up a claim beyond what is strictly in accordance with the truth.Which Christ hath not wrought by me - I confine myself “strictly” to what I have done. I do not arrogate to myself what Christ has done by others. I do not exaggerate my own success, or claim what others have accomplished.To make the Gentiles obedient - To bring them to obey God in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 15:18-19

Romans 15:18-19 . For I will not dare to speak, &c. I will not glory of more than is true and has been really done by my ministry; to make the Gentiles obedient To bring them to the faith, and to the worship and service of the true God; by word and deed By preaching and miracles. The apostle would not speak of what Christ had not wrought by him, but by his disciples, for making the Gentiles obedient; though he might have claimed some praise also from their success. But he would... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 15:14-33

15:14-16:27 PLANS, GREETINGS AND FAREWELLMission to Gentiles and Jews (15:14-33)Paul has not written to the Roman believers because he doubts their ability to understand or teach the truth. He has written because he wants to give them added assurance in the principles of the gospel that they have already received. This is because, as apostle to the Gentiles, he wishes that the work among the Gentiles everywhere, including Rome, be acceptable to God (14-16). Paul has good reason to be pleased as... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:18

18-22. For I will not dare to speak of any—"to speak aught" of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me—a modest, though somewhat obscure form of expression, meaning, "I will not dare to go beyond what Christ hath wrought by me"—in which form accordingly the rest of the passage is expressed. Observe here how Paul ascribes all the success of his labors to the activity of the living Redeemer, working in and by him. by word and deed—by preaching and working; which latter he explains in the... read more

1. Past labors 15:14-21Paul had been somewhat critical of the strong and the weak in the Roman church (Romans 14:1 to Romans 15:13). He now balanced those comments by pointing out other strengths in the church beside the faith of his Roman brethren (Romans 1:8). read more

VII. CONCLUSION 15:14-16:27The conclusion of the epistle corresponds to its introduction (Romans 1:1-17; cf. Romans 15:14 and Romans 1:8; Romans 15:15-21 and Romans 1:3; Romans 1:13; Romans 15:22 and Romans 1:13 a; Romans 15:27 and Romans 1:14; Romans 15:29 and Romans 1:11-12; and Romans 15:30-32 and Romans 1:9-10).

A. Paul’s ministry 15:14-33The apostle first gave information concerning his past labors (Romans 15:14-21). Then he explained his present program (Romans 15:22-29). Finally he shared his future plans (Romans 15:30-33). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 15:17-18

Paul had grounds to boast because Gentiles had come to Jesus Christ through his ministry. Notwithstanding he gave all the credit for what had happened to Jesus Christ. He had worked through His servant to bring the Gentiles to obey God in word and deed. Obedience in this context involved coming to Christ (cf. Romans 1:5; Romans 16:26; Acts 17:30; 1 Peter 1:2) read more
