Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 15:31

That I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judea, and that my ministration which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints.Paul had a double concern, not merely his own safety, but the attitude of the church members themselves. Would they be willing to accept the collection which he had gathered through the expenditure of so vast a measure of time and energy? If they did trot, it would jeopardize the unity of the church and possibility destroy the Gentile missions he... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 15:30

Romans 15:30. And for the love of the Spirit— "By that love, which is the genuine fruit of the Spirit." Some would explain this of the love which the Spirit of God bears to us, or the affection which we owe to that gracious Person. The words rendered strive together with me, signify, "That you join your utmost strength and fervency with mine; as those who fight and struggle together in the public games, or in the field of battle." See Elsner's Observat. vol. 2: p. 65. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 15:31

Romans 15:31. That I may be delivered, &c.— How extreme their bigotry and rage were, appears from their behavior to him at the very time here referred to, Acts, xxi-xxiv. It was from a sense of the great importance of his life to the cause of Christianity, that he is thus urgent; else we may be assured, that he would gladly have given it up. See Philippians 1:21. Inferences.—With what tenderness and self-denial should we behave towards our brethren in Christ! We should bear with the... read more

30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit—or, "by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit"—not the love which the Spirit bears to us, but that love which He kindles in the hearts of believers towards each other; that is "By that Saviour whose name is alike dear to all of us and whose unsearchable riches I live only to proclaim, and by that love one to another which the blessed Spirit diffuses through all the brotherhood,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:31

31. That I may be delivered from them that do not believe—"that do not obey," that is, the truth, by believing it; as in :-. in Judea—He saw the storm that was gathering over him in Judea, which, if at all, would certainly burst upon his head when he reached the capital; and the event too clearly showed the correctness of these apprehensions. and that my service which I have for Jerusalem—(See on :-). may be accepted of—"prove acceptable to" the saints—Nor was he without apprehension lest the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 15:30

Paul drew attention to the great need he felt for his readers’ prayers by using the same term he did when appealing for them to dedicate themselves to God (Romans 12:1). He exhorted them on the basis of their relationship with Jesus Christ and the love that the Holy Spirit inspires. He realized that in view of the spiritual forces antagonistic to his ministry energetic praying was necessary (cf. Ephesians 6:18-20; 2 Corinthians 1:10-11).". . . our praying must not be a casual experience that... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 15:31

Paul identified two immediate prayer requests. One was safety from the opposition of hostile unbelieving Jews (cf. Acts 9:29-30) and the distrust of Jewish Christians. The other was that the Jewish Christians would receive the monetary gift of their Gentile brethren. If they did not, the unity of the body would be in jeopardy. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:1-33

Jew and Gentile alike the Object of God’s Love. The Apostle’s Plans1-13. The subject of Romans 14 is continued. ’Strength’ should be displayed in helping the ’weak’ after Christ’s example (Romans 15:1-4). Let both sections be united in God’s praise, welcoming one another as Christ welcomed them (Romans 15:5-7). As the divergence of views originated in the difference between Jew and Gentile, let both remember that Christ became a Jew for the salvation of both (Romans 15:8-13).Paraphrase. ’(1)... read more
