The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:1-13

The Christ-like duty of pleasing our neighbour. Having just counselled the strong to defer as far as possible to the consciences of the weak, the apostle continues the subject in the thirteen verses now before us. He urges as the principle of the Christian life, not self-pleasing, but neighbour-pleasing. He limits this, of course, by the condition of edification. In short, a Christian is to be a public character, regulating his life by the spiritual interests of all around him. In this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:5-33

The Divine character in relation to the human. "The God of patience and consolation;" "the God of hope;" "the God of peace." The great object of Christ's coming into the world was to save sinners. He does this by revealing God. He is Emmanuel, "God with us." "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." Christ reveals the Divine character. He reveals it in his teaching—the Divine holiness. He reveals it in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:7-27

The mutual relationship of Jews and Gentiles. The apostle tries further to heal any existing differences between the various sections of the Christian community at Rome, and still further to enforce the duties of charity, self-denial, and mutual helpfulness, by reminding them of how much they have in common. This is the true method of uniting Christians. Some Christians think they will succeed in bringing others to their view of the truth by exposing the errors of those who differ from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:8-9

For (the reading γὰρ is much better supported than δὲ . The essential meaning, however, of λέγω γὰρ is the same as of λέγω δὲ ) I say ( i.e. what I mean to say is this; cf. 1 Corinthians 1:12 ; Galatians 4:1 : Galatians 5:16 ) that Jesus Christ was (rather, has been made, γεγενῆσθαι being the more probable reading than γενέσθαι ) a minister of the circumcision ( i.e. of the Jews) for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:10-13

And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye peoples. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust (rather, hope— ἐλπιοῦσι —which is the word in the LXX .; thus brining back the thought of the hope spoken of in Romans 15:4 , with a prayer for the abundance of which to his readers, as the result of peace in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:13

The office of the Holy Spirit. Paul was not one of those upon whom the Spirit fell on the Day of Pentecost. He was at that time a scholar; living probably in Jerusalem, and certainly studying the Law and the traditions of his nation, with all the energy of an ardent, zealous, and persevering mind. He may have known at the time of the remarkable events which occurred; but if he did, they made no great impression on him. For only two or three years afterwards, when Stephen was stoned, Saul... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:13

Hope. Perhaps ordinary and even Christian moralists would not assign to hope the place which it occupies in the teaching of the apostle. But Paul had good reason for extolling and enjoining this beautiful and most inspiring and influential virtue. In this verse he sets forth— I. THE SOURCE OF HOPE . His language is a prayer, and the prayer is addressed to "the God of hope." He is so called because there can be no true, well-founded, far-reaching hope which is not fixed on God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:13

Hopefulness prayed for. The sense of a passage is clearer if the connection with the context be ascertained. The Revised Version, by translating the same root-word in the same manner, enables the reader to take up the thread of thought from the twelfth verse. Guests introduced to the same host are placed on terms of fellowship with each other. So Jew and Gentile had been received by Jesus Christ, in whom the veracity of God towards the Jews had been confirmed, and his mercy displayed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:8

Now I say - I affirm, or maintain. I, a “Jew,” admit that his work had reference to the Jews; I affirm also that it had reference to the Gentiles.That Jesus Christ - That “the Messiah.” The force of the apostle’s reasoning would often be more striking if he would retain the word “Messiah,” and not regard the word “Christ” as a mere surname. It is the name of his “office;” and to “a Jew” the name “Messiah” would convey much more than the idea of a mere proper name.Was a minister of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:9

And that the Gentiles ... - The benefits of the gospel were not to be confined to “the Jews;” and as God “designed” that those benefits should be extended to the “Gentiles,” so the Jewish converts ought to be willing to admit them and treat them as brethren. That God “did” design this, the apostle proceeds to show.Might glorify God - Might “praise,” or give thanks to God. This implies that the favor shown to them was a “great” favor.For his mercy - Greek, On account of the mercy shown to... read more
