Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:6

‘Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom, The Lord will not in any way (ou me) reckon sin.’ He then proceeds to amplify his argument with reference to David’s words in Psalms 32:1-2. David speaks on behalf of those who had come to God, calling on Him to ‘reckon them as righteous apart from works’, purely on the basis of His... read more

Romans 4:1-1 Kings : a . The Example of Abraham. Romans 4:1 . The Jewish objector once more: “ What about Abraham then?” ( mg.) ; if the circumcised Israelite is justified on no more favourable terms than the Gentile outsider, how was it with “ our” great “ forefather” ? Abraham’ s case was the instantia probans for Jewish theology. Romans 4:2 f. “ If Abraham had been justified by works,” Paul replies, “ he has ground of glorying; but” however great his glory amongst men, “ he has none... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 4:6

To the example of Abraham taken from Moses, he adjoins the testimony of David, that so he might more fully prove what he had asserted, Romans 3:21; both the one and the other were of great authority amongst the Jews. Here it may be objected, that David no where says, that he is blessed unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. Answer. Though the words be no where extant in David, yet the sense is, as appears in what follows. {see Romans 4:7} read more

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 4:1.—Alford, following Meyer, says κατὰ σάρκα is in contrast to κατὰ πνεῦμα, and refers to that part of our being from which spring works in contrast with that which is the exercise of faith. κατὰ σάρκα in respect to efforts by one’s own natural powers, or efforts made in one’s own strength.Romans 4:2. ἐξ ἔργων.—Talmud maintains that Abraham was justified by works.Romans 4:3.—Jewish Rabbis viewed Abraham’s faith as so much merit. “As the reward of his faith our father... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 4:1-25

Romans 3:31 ; Romans 4:0 A Crucial Case. I. It was by his faith Abraham was justified, not by his works of obedience. Paul's proof of this is very simple. He finds a remarkable proof-text ready to his hand in Genesis 15:16 . On God's side there was simply a word announcing the promises of His grace; on the man's side simply a devout and childlike reliance upon that word. God asked no more; and the man had no more to give. His mere trust in God the Promiser was held to be adequate as a ground... read more

DISCOURSE: 1836JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONERomans 4:1-8. What shall we then say that Abraham, our father as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is... read more

Chapter 4Now what shall we say concerning Abraham the father, as pertaining to the flesh, what did he find? For if Abraham were justified by his works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God ( Romans 4:1-2 ).If it was Abraham's works that brought him justification, then Abraham could boast in his works. He could say, "I left my home, I left my family on the other side of the Euphrates River, and I journeyed not even knowing where I was going, just waiting for God to show me. And I was... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 4:1-25

Romans 4:1 . What shall we say then that Abraham, our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? How was he a sinner, an idolater, justified? Was it by the flesh, as indicated by the word father? Was it by works in submitting to circumcision, on which ye jews lay the major emphasis? If so, he has the glory of boasting over the disobedient, but not before God, in whose eyes the brightest acts of human obedience are but defective duties. When God has promised, even believing can... read more

Romans 4:1-25What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? Lessons from the case of AbrahamI. However much the most perfect of the species may have to glory of in the eye of his fellows, he has nothing to glory of before God. The apostle affirms this of Abraham, whose virtues had canonised him in the hearts of all his descendants, and who still stands forth as the embodiment of all the virtues of the older dispensation. But of his piety we have no... read more
