Romanos 1:3 NVT

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:2-4

The characterization of "the gospel of God," to which Paul was separated. The awfulness of a commission of doom. Jonah. But to herald forth God's good tidings to a sorrowing world! This is the crown of all Christian ministry. The angels might well sing and be glad when ushering this gospel into the world ( Luke 2:9-14 ); and Paul is rejoiced that he can strike this note of gladness. There might well be preludes to this burst of joy: so the words, "which he promised afore," etc. For all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:2-7

The Church at Rome. We have already got some conception of the author of this Epistle, of his origin, training, conversion, and subsequent career. And now we advance to the second natural inquiry—Who were the people composing the Church at Rome? Let us fancy, then a great city with we shall suppose, about half the population of London—two millions of people crowded, of course, into much smaller space than in the modern city. Of these, the half were slaves, the other half citizens. But the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:3

Which was made ; or, was born. But the word in itself, γενομένου , need only mean that he became a Man of the seed of David; implying, it would seem, a pre-existence of him who so became. This, however, is more evident from other passages, in which ὢν , or ὑπάρχων , is opposed to γενόμενος (cf. John 1:1 , John 1:14 ; Philippians 2:6 , Philippians 2:7 ; cf. also Galatians 4:4 , ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τοῦ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικὸς ) . Of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:3-4

The theme of the gospel. Observe how the apostle's mind is burdened with the one great subject of his ministry. He has proceeded only a very few words with his Epistle, and behold! already he is introducing, by the force of an overmastering impulse, a full statement of the main facts and doctrines regarding the Lord Jesus Christ. I. We have here a complete and concise DESIGNATION OF THE BEING who was the theme of the gospel which Paul preached. The human name, "Jesus," "the ... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:3

Concerning his Son - This is connected with the first verse, with the word “gospel.” The gospel of God concerning his Son. The design of the gospel was to make a communication relative to his Son Jesus Christ. This is the whole of it. There is no “good news” to man respecting salvation except what comes by Jesus Christ.Which was made - The word translated “was made” means usually “to be,” or “to become.” It is used, however, in the sense of being born. Thus, Galatians 4:4, “God sent forth his... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 1:3-6

Romans 1:3-6. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ The gospel is good news from God, concerning the coming of his Son to save the world. The Son of God, therefore, is the subject of the gospel, as well as its author: who was made Gr. του γενομενου , who was, or, who was born, as the word also properly signifies; of the seed of David according to the flesh That is, with regard to his human nature. Both the natures of our Lord are here mentioned; but the human is mentioned first, because... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 1:1-17

1:1-17 PAUL INTRODUCES HIMSELF AND HIS SUBJECTIn keeping with the practice of the time, Paul introduces himself at the beginning of his letter. He is a servant and apostle of God, called to preach the gospel. This gospel, or good news, was promised in the Old Testament writings and became a reality through Jesus Christ. As to his humanity, Jesus was a descendant of David, but as to his deity, he is the Son of God, a fact shown clearly and powerfully by his resurrection (1:1-4). This Jesus is... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 1:3

Concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.Having already announced the origin of the gospel in God himself (Romans 1:1), Paul immediately introduced God's Son as the central fact of the good news, the gospel having but one center and that in Christ, Christ alone is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, the embodiment of all Jewish hopes, the willing sacrifice, the sin-bearer, and the atonement. He, and he alone, is the architect of the crucifixion, the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:3

Romans 1:3. According to the flesh— That is, with regard to his human nature. Both the natures of our Saviour are mentioned in this and the following verse. This too regards the Jew, and puts him in mind that Jesus, whom Paul preached, was of the royal stock, whence they expected the Messiah would spring. See Taylor and Locke read more
