Romanos 3:10-19 NVT

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 3:16

Destruction and misery are in their ways. This passage also is to be found in Isaiah 59:7 , and may be understood either actively thus: all the ways they take, and methods they pursue, are to make their fellow creatures miserable, to ruin and destroy them; or passively, that by their sinful ways and vicious course of life, they themselves are brought to destruction and misery: the way they are walking in is, "the broad way, that leadeth to destruction", Matthew 7:13 ; the end of it, what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 3:17

And the way of peace have they not known. This is a citation front Isaiah 59:8 , and expresses the ignorance of mankind, with regard to true peace, and the way unto it: men are naturally ignorant of the way of peace with God; of the first step which God took towards it; of the council and covenant of peace, in which the scheme of it was drawn, and the method fixed; of Christ the peacemaker, and of the way in which he has made it; and of the Gospel, which reveals and publishes it. They are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 3:18

There is no fear of God before their eyes. The place referred to is Psalm 36:1 , by the "fear of God", is not meant a fear of God's wrath, of hell and damnation; nor a fearful distrust of his presence, power, providence, and grace; much less an hypocritical fear; but a reverential affection for God, and which is peculiar to the children of God, which springs from a sense of divine goodness, is attended with holiness of heart and life, is consistent with faith, even full assurance of it,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 3:19

Now we know that what things soever the law saith ,.... By "the law" is meant, not the law of nature, nor the civil law of nations, nor the ceremonial law of the Jews, nor barely the five books of Moses, nor the book of Psalms, of the Prophets, or the writings of the whole Old Testament; but the moral law, as it appears in the whole word of God, which every man is bound to observe, of which all are transgressors, by which is the knowledge of sin, which no man can be justified by, and which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:10

As it is written - See Psalm 14:1-3 ; from which this and the two following verses are taken. There is none righteous - This is true, not only of the Jews, but of the Gentiles; of every soul of man, considered in his natural and practical state, previously to his receiving the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no righteous principle in them, and, consequently, no righteous act can be expected from them; see on Romans 3:12 ; (note). God himself is represented as looking down... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:12

They are all gone out of the way - παντες εξεκλιναν , they have all diverged from the right way, they have either abandoned or corrupted the worship of God: the Jews, in forsaking the law and the prophets, and the Gentiles, in acting contrary to the law which God had written on their hearts. And the departure of both from the truth proves the evil propensity of human nature in general. They are together become unprofitable - ηχρειωθησαν . They are useless, good for nothing; or, as... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:13

Their throat is an open sepulchre - This and all the following verses to the end of the 18th are found in the Septuagint, but not in the Hebrew text; and it is most evident that it was from this version that the apostle quoted, as the verses cannot be found in any other place with so near an approximation to the apostle's meaning and words. The verses in question, however, are not found in the Alexandrian MS. But they exist in the Vulgate, the Ethiopic, and the Arabic. As the most ancient... read more
