F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 4:1-99

Romans 4 THE FOURTH CHAPTER is practically a parenthesis. In verse 28 of chapter 4 the conclusion is reached that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. To exactly the same point are we brought back in Rom_5:1 , and then but not till then does the Apostle carry us on further into the blessings of the Gospel. In chapter 4 he develops at considerable length certain Old Testament scriptures which support his thesis, that before God a man is justified by faith alone. When, in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 4:1-5

The Righteousness of God Demonstrated from History. The justification of Abraham: v. 1. What shall we say, then, that Abraham, our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? v. 2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. v. 3. For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. v. 4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. v. 5. But to him that worketh... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 4:6-8

A proof from the Psalms: v. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, v. 7. saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. v. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. The apostle here introduces a new witness to the truth of the comforting doctrine which he is teaching. Genesis 15:6 agrees exactly with Psalms 32:1-Exodus :. Just as also David expresses,... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 4:1-25

Eighth Section.—Second proof of the righteousness of faith: from the Scriptures, and particularly from the history of the faith of Abraham, the ancestor of the Jews. Abraham is the father of faith to the Gentiles as well as the Jews, because he was justified in uncircumcision as a Gentile, and because he received circumcision as the seal of the righteousness of faith. David is also a witness of the righteousness of faith. (He is particularly so, since his justification was that of a great... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 4:1-8

Blessedness Follows Faith Romans 4:1-8 In this chapter the doctrine of justification by faith is illustrated from the life of Abraham. It is evident that he was not justified because of his good works. Nothing is said of them, though he had crossed the desert in obedience to the divine command. No; he believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness, Romans 4:3 . The life of God in the soul of man is one and the same in every age. The measure of light may vary from the twilight... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 4:1-25

The apostle now dealt with another difficulty that might arise in the mind of the Jew, showing that the method of grace, namely, imputing righteousness in response to faith, is in harmony with the whole history of Israel. As an illustration of this the apostle took the case of Abraham, father and founder of the nation, and showed how he was accepted and rewarded through faith, and not through works, both by his personal acceptance by God, and by his position as recipient of the promise of a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 4:1-5

Abraham an Exemplar of Faith Romans 4:1-5 , Romans 4:13-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In our verses there are several things relative to the faith of Abraham that are worthy of note: 1. What did Abraham find according to the flesh? The query is one of a far vista, for it deeply concerns every one of us. (1) If Abraham were justified by the flesh he might have had whereof to glory, but not before God. He could have gloried before men, because men look at the outward appearances. Men delight to boast... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:1-8

The Way Of Justification Through Faith Illustrated In Abraham And Announced By David (4:1-8). Paul now demonstrates that Abraham’s acceptability with God was by faith, not works, something which is then further confirmed by David. This thus confirms that Abraham was not justified by his works. This went totally contrary to contemporary Jewish teaching which was that Abraham was justified by his works which were pleasing to God. And Paul stresses that it is on the basis of Scripture. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:1-25

God Has Provided A Way By Which Men Can Be Accounted As In The Right Before God (3:21-4:25). Paul has spent a considerable time, from Romans 1:18 onwards, in demonstrating that all are under sin (weighed down under it and condemned by it). And he has shown that this includes the common herd of idolaters (Romans 1:18-27); the generality of people (Romans 1:28-32); those who for one reason or another see themselves as above the norm (philosophers, judges, Rabbis, Jews - Romans 2:1-16); and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 4:4-5

‘Now to him who works, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt, but to him that who does not work, but believe on him who reckons as in the right the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.’ Paul now brings out the significance of that Scripture in respect of the matter they are dealing with. When it comes to man being rewarded for his works, the reward is not looked on as ‘of grace’ (freely given as an undeserved favour), but as of debt (it has been duly earned and the... read more
