Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:3

For I say - The word “for” shows that the apostle is about to introduce some additional considerations to enforce what he had just said, or to show how we may evince a mind that is not conformed to the world.Through the grace - Through the favor, or in virtue of the favor of the apostolic office. By the authority that is conferred on me to declare the will of God as an apostle; see the note at Romans 1:5; see also Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:15; Galatians 2:9; Ephesians 3:8; 1 Timothy 1:14.Not... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 12:3

Romans 12:3. For I say As if he had said, You must be renewed, in order that you may walk as it is your indispensable duty and great privilege to do. He proceeds to show what that will of God is, which he had just spoken of: through the grace which is given to me He chiefly means, given him as an inspired apostle, whereby he was qualified and authorized to direct the believers at Rome, in their duty in general, and in the exercise of their gifts, and the execution of their offices in... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think: but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.Even after Christ is enthroned in the heart, the old mental habits and value-judgments of the natural man are prone to reassert themselves, these being the most persistent and pernicious of human sins. The body is relatively easy to bring under control; but... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 12:3

Romans 12:3. For I say, &c.— "I say and give it in charge:" So λεγειν signifies, Acts 15:24. Instead of Not to think of himself more highly, Doddridge reads, after Raphelius, Not to arrogate to himself above what, &c. Instead of measure of faith, some copies have it of grace; but either of them expresses the same thing; that is, gifts of the Spirit. See the next note. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:3

3. For I say—authoritatively through the grace given unto me—as an apostle of Jesus Christ; thus exemplifying his own precept by modestly falling back on that office which both warranted and required such plainness towards all classes. to every man that is among you, not to think, &c.—It is impossible to convey in good English the emphatic play, so to speak, which each word here has upon another: "not to be high-minded above what he ought to be minded, but so to be minded as to be... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 12:3

Paul began this pericope with a reminder of his apostolic authority. He probably did so because what he was about to say required personal application that would affect the conduct of his readers. The Romans had not met Paul personally so he urged them to receive his teaching humbly. A humble attitude was also important as they evaluated and exercised the individual abilities that God had given each of them (cf. 1 Peter 4:10). Paul had had experiences with Christians, who were proud because of... read more
