The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 1:1-32

Rom 1:1-7 1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle [a called apostle] separated [set apart unto] the Gospel of God. 2. (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy Scriptures,) 3. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4. And declared lo be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead [ read, of the dead]: 5. By whom we have received [ rather,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 1:18-32

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified not as God,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 1:24

Wherefore God gave them [4] up, &c. That is, as St. John Chrysostom says, permitted them, in punishment of their wilful blindness, to fall into the foulest, most shameful, and unnatural sins of uncleanness here described.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:18-25

18-25 The apostle begins to show that all mankind need the salvation of the gospel, because none could obtain the favour of God, or escape his wrath by their own works. For no man can plead that he has fulfilled all his obligations to God and to his neighbour; nor can any truly say that he has fully acted up to the light afforded him. The sinfulness of man is described as ungodliness against the laws of the first table, and unrighteousness against those of the second. The cause of that... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 1:1-99

Romans 1 IT IS VERY fitting therefore that the opening words of the epistle should give us a brief summary of the Gospel. Jesus the Christ, who is God’s Son, and our Lord, is the great theme of it, and it particularly concerns Him as the One who is risen from the dead. He truly came here as a real Man, so that He was David’s seed on that side; yet He was not merely that, for there was another side, not what He was “according to the flesh,” but “according to the Spirit of holiness.” He was the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 1:22-25

The result of deliberate folly: v. 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, v. 23. and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God in to an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. v. 24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves; v. 25. who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 1:24-32

from Gross Sins of the Flesh Romans 1:24-32 Few men knew as much as did Paul of the unutterableness of human need. In terrible words he enumerates its various aspects. Truth would enter human hearts from God’s work in nature and from conscience, yet men pull down the blind and close the curtain. It is not that they do not know, but that they refuse to have God in their knowledge. They shun the thought of God, Psalms 10:4 . They will not lift their happy faces toward Him with filial... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:1-32

Bringing the first and seventh verses together, we find the called apostle writing to the called saints. As for himself, Paul declared, first, that he was debtor, because a gift had been bestowed on him for the Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the foolish. In verses Rom 1:16-17 we have a statement in brief of the whole argument of the epistle, and a declaration of the Gospel deposit which made Paul a debtor. It is a Gospel of power, that is, one which is equal to the accomplishment of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:21-25

Man’s Rebellion Against God Comes To Its Inevitable Fruition (1:21-25). Paul now demonstrates how man’s refusal to know God results in man’s fall into gross sin. We have already been told about the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men in Romans 1:18. Paul now expands on that, dealing firstly with man’s ungodliness as manifested by his turning to idols, with its inevitable consequences, in Romans 1:21-27. He will then move on to deal with man’s unrighteousness as manifested by a list of gross... read more
