Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 13:8-14

A New Year Message Romans 13:8-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As one faces the New Year there are usually two dominant things that confront the thoughtful: 1. What about the year that has passed? 2. What about the New Year that is about to dawn? Let us think on these for just a few moments. 1. Are we satisfied with the year gone by? Perhaps all would answer, "No" not altogether satisfied. There are none of us but wish we might have done more for God, and also for men. Yet, granting all this, are we... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:1-7

The Christian’s Attitude Towards The State (13:1-7). Having called on Christians ‘not to be conformed to this world’ (Romans 12:2), and having indicated that vengeance for wrongdoing lay in God’s hands (Romans 12:19 - notice the use of ‘the wrath’ in Romans 12:19 and Romans 13:5), and that Christians should be concerned to be at peace with all men (Romans 12:18), Paul now feels constrained both to affirm the need to conform with the systems of justice that were in place (as he had never... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:1-14

A Call To Make Real In The Church And In The World The Righteousness Which They Have Received (12:1-15:33). This section moves from the indicative to the imperative. Having outlined the ways of God in salvation: · in applying to His people the righteousness of Christ (Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25), · in uniting them with Christ in His death and resurrection (Romans 6:1-11), · in making them righteous within by His Spirit (Romans 8:1-18), · and in having demonstrated God’s sovereign activity in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:7

‘Render to all their dues; taxes to whom taxes (are due), tolls to whom tolls (are due), fear to whom fear (is due), honour to whom honour (is due).’ In words which echo those of Jesus in respect of paying tribute money, ‘render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s’ (Matthew 22:21), Paul calls on the Romans to ‘render their taxes (tribute) and tolls (customs duties)’. Christians should pay their taxes without complaint, recognising that they are in effect paying them to God. And they should... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:8

‘Owe no man anything, except to love one another, for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.’ Having spoken of the Christian’s debt to the state Paul now turns to the question of the Christian’s debt to all men. ‘Owe no man anything’ is not saying that we should not enter into debt on a considered basis, but rather that we should pay our dues. We are not to be dilatory in fulfilling our obligations. But he then points out that there is one debt which we are to owe and which is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:8-10

The Christian’s Responsibility To Love (13:8-10). Paul now turns his attention from the Christian’s duty to the authorities, to the Christian’s duty towards the outer world. Jesus Himself stated that the two greatest commandments in the Law (Matthew 22:35-40) were to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5) and to love our neighbours as ourselves (Leviticus 19:18), and in the context of Leviticus the latter included loving those who came to live among us (Leviticus... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:1-7

Romans 13:1-Judges : . Order and Loyalty.— On the turbulence of Roman Jews, see Introd. § 3 . Romans 13:1 f. “ Let every soul be subordinate to superior authorities,” a general maxim, with two reasons given: that “ authority is of Divine institution” ( cf. John 19:11, Psalms 82:6, etc.), and that “ the existing authorities” (of the Empire) “ are ordained by God, so that he who is insubordinate resists the ordinance of God and resisters will incur judgment.” There is a play on the idea of ... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 13:8-10

Romans 13:8-2 Samuel : . The All-comprising Law. Romans 13:8 . Taxes are debts, and the Christian must “ owe nothing to anybody”— except the infinite “ debt of love!” “ Whoso loves his neighbour, has fulfilled law” ( mg.) , meeting the supreme and comprehensive obligation; see Matthew 22:39 f. Romans 13:9 f. proves this in detail: “ every command is summed up in” the well-known law of Jesus. “ Love is law’ s fulfilment” : the stress lies on fulfilment; nothing is so dutiful as love. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 13:7

This verse concludes his discourse about the civil powers. When he saith: Render to all their dues, he doth not mean all men, but all magistrates, whatever they be for quality, either good or bad; or whatever they be for degree, either supreme or subordinate. Render to them their dues; i.e. whatever of right belongs to them: see Matthew 22:21. There are two things that more especially belong to rulers, and are due from those that are under them: the one is maintenance; the other is reverence.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 13:8

Having treated of special duties belonging to superiors, he now comes to that which is more general, and belongs to all. Owe no man any thing; neither your superiors, nor your equals and inferiors; render and pay to every person what is due to him, let his rank and quality be what it will. But to love one another: q.d. Only there is one debt that yon can never fully discharge; that you must be ever paying, yet ever owing; and that is love. For he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law: this... read more
