Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 15:30
Now I beseech you brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.Paul was well aware of the dangers and difficulties that lay ahead, especially in Jerusalem; and this is an earnest plea for the prayers of his fellow Christians. Only God could protect Paul from those enemies whose vigorous hatred made Jerusalem a place of extreme hazard for him. Paul was especially warned by the Holy Spirit through Agabus (Acts... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 15:32
That I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest. Now the peace of God be with you all. Amen.That I may come unto you in joy ... refers to the projected acceptance on the part of the poor Christians in Jerusalem of the bounty provided by the Gentiles. If they accepted it (which they did), Paul would be relieved of anxiety on that score and would come "with joy." Hodge's discerning words on this passage are:Paul seemed to look forward to his interview with... 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
