Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:9

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy - As the Jews were to glorify God for his truth, so the Gentiles were to glorify God for his mercy. The Jews received the blessings of the Gospel by right of promise, which promise God had most punctually and circumstantially fulfilled. The Gentiles had received the same Gospel as an effect of God's mere mercy, having no right in consequence of any promise or engagement made with any of their ancestors, though they were originally... read more

Now the God of hope, etc. - Ὁ δε Θεος της ελπιδος , May the God of this hope - that God who caused both Jews and Gentiles to hope that the gracious promises which he made to them should be fulfilled; and who, accordingly, has fulfilled them in the most punctual and circumstantial manner; Fill you with all joy - Give you true spiritual happiness; peace in your own hearts, and unity among yourselves; in believing not only the promises which he has given you, but believing in Christ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:8

Verse 8 8.Now I say, that Jesus Christ, etc. He now shows that Christ has embraced us all, so that he leaves no difference between the Jews and the Gentiles, except that in the first place he was promised to the Jewish nation, and was in a manner peculiarly destined for them, before he was revealed to the Gentiles. But he shows, that with respect to that which was the seed of all contentions, there was no difference between them; for he had gathered them both from a miserable dispersion, and... read more

Verse 9 9.The Gentiles also, (446) etc. This is the second point, on proving which he dwells longer, because it was not so evident. The first testimony he quotes is taken from Psalms 18:0; which psalm is recorded also in 2 Samuel 22:0, where no doubt a prophecy is mentioned concerning the kingdom of Christ; and from it Paul proves the calling of the Gentiles, because it is there promised, that a confession to the glory of God should be made among the Gentiles; for we cannot really make God... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:10

Verse 10 10Exult, ye Gentiles, with his people This verse is commonly considered as if it was taken from the song of Moses; but with this I cannot agree; for Moses’ design there was to terrify the adversaries of Israel by setting forth his greatness, rather than to invite them to a common joy. I hence think that this is quoted from Psalms 47:5, where it is written, “Exult and rejoice let the Gentiles, because thou judgest the nations in equity, and the Gentiles on the earth thou guidest.” And... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:11

Verse 11 11.Praise God, all ye Gentiles, etc. This passage is not inaptly applied; for how can they, who know not God’s greatness, praise him? They could no more do this than to call on his name, when unknown. It is then a prophecy most suitable to prove the calling of the Gentiles; and this appears still more evident from the reason which is there added; for he bids them to give thanks for God’s truth and mercy. (Psalms 117:1.) read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:12

Verse 12 12.And again, Isaiah, etc., This prophecy is the most illustrious of them all: for in that passage, the Prophet, when things were almost past hope, comforted the small remnant of the faithful, even by this, — that there would arise a shoot from the dry and the dying trunk of David’s family, and that a branch would flourish from his despised root, which would restore to God’s people their pristine glory. It is clear from the account there given, that this shoot was Christ, the Redeemer... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:13

Verse 13 13.And may the God, etc. He now concludes the passage, as before, with prayer; in which he desires the Lord to give them whatever he had commanded. It hence appears, that the Lord does in no degree measure his precepts according to our strength or the power of free-will; and that he does not command what we ought to do, that we, relying on our own power, may gird up ourselves to render obedience; but that he commands those things which require the aid of his grace, that he may... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:1-13

Union in God. Here, as Godet says, "the particular question treated in Romans 14:1-23 . broadens; the point of view rises, and the tone is gradually heightened even to the elevation of a hymn, as at the end of all the great parts preceding ( Romans 5:12 , et seq.; Romans 8:31 , et seq.; Romans 11:33 , et seq. ) . Paul first exhorts, by the example of Christ, to mutual condescension ( Romans 14:1-3 ); he points out ( Romans 14:4-7 ), as an end to be reached, the common... read more
