Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 12:4-8

Romans 12:4-8. For as we have many members The apostle proceeds to illustrate his advice by a comparison taken from the members of the human body. All members have not the same office But different members are appointed to different purposes. So we Several believers, having different gifts and offices; are one body All make up one body under Christ the head; and members one of another Closely connected together, and nearly related to one another, and so bound to be helpful to one... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 12:1-21

12:1-15:13 CHRISTIAN FAITH IN PRACTICEResponsibilities and relationships (12:1-21)For eleven chapters Paul has been explaining what God in his mercy has done, and will yet do, for repentant sinners. Now he reminds those who have experienced this mercy that the most fitting act of worship by which they can show their thanks is to offer themselves as living sacrifices to God. No longer are they to think and act like non-Christians. Their minds must be changed so that they see issues from a... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:7

7. Or ministry, let us wait on—"be occupied with." our ministering—The word here used imports any kind of service, from the dispensing of the word of life (Acts 6:4) to the administering of the temporal affairs of the Church (Acts 6:4- :). The latter seems intended here, being distinguished from "prophesying," "teaching," and "exhorting." or he that teacheth—Teachers are expressly distinguished from prophets, and put after them, as exercising a lower function (Acts 13:1; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 1... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 12:1-13

VI. THE PRACTICE OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS 12:1-15:13In contrasting chapters 1-11 with chapters 12-16 of Romans, perhaps the most important distinction is that the first part deals primarily with God’s actions for humanity, and the last part deals with people’s actions in response to God’s. This is an oversimplification of the book, but the distinction is a valid one. God’s provision contrasts with man’s responsibility to behave in a manner consistent with what God has done, is doing, and will do... read more

B. Conduct within the church 12:3-21Every Christian has the same duty toward God, namely, dedication (Romans 12:1-2). Nevertheless the will of God for one Christian will differ from His will for another concerning life and ministry within the body of Christ (Romans 12:3-21). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 12:7-8

All the gifts Paul mentioned in Romans 12:6-8 need exercising within the body of Christ for its members’ mutual benefit (cf. Romans 12:5). Obviously other gifts have other purposes. However, Paul was stressing here the need to recognize that the members of the body contribute to the common welfare. In each case he spoke of the way we use these gifts."Service" or "serving" (Romans 12:7, Gr. diakonia) probably refers to ministering to the material needs of other believers.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 12:1-21

The Conseceated Life. The Law of LoveThe doctrinal part of the Epistle being finished, St. Paul now turns to practical exhortation. God’s mercy, shown in the gospel set forth in the previous chapters, calls for the sacrifice of ourselves to do His will (Romans 12:1-2), by the humble and devoted use of God’s spiritual gifts (Romans 12:3-8), and in love (Romans 12:9-21).1-21. Paraphrase. ’(1) God’s redeeming love should be answered by the true sacrifice and spiritual ritual service of a life of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:7

(7) Ministry.—The word used is the technical term for the discharge of the office of deacon. The institution of this office is described in Acts 6:1-5. Its object was to provide for the practical business as opposed to the spiritual ministrations of the Church. It included more especially the distribution of alms and the care of the poor, the sick, widows, etc. The functions of the diaconate are called “serving tables” (i.e., in the literal sense, “providing food” for those who needed it) in... read more
