Romans 12:6 KJV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:6

Having then gifts - All the endowments which Christians have are regarded by the apostle as gifts. God has conferred them; and this fact, when properly felt, tends much to prevent our thinking of ourselves more highly than we ought to think, Romans 12:3. For the use of the word rendered “gifts,” see Romans 1:11; Romans 5:15-16; Romans 6:23; Romans 11:29; 1Co 7:7; 1 Corinthians 12:4, 1 Corinthians 12:9,1 Corinthians 12:28, etc. It may refer to natural endowments as well as to the favors of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 12:4-8

Romans 12:4-8. For as we have many members The apostle proceeds to illustrate his advice by a comparison taken from the members of the human body. All members have not the same office But different members are appointed to different purposes. So we Several believers, having different gifts and offices; are one body All make up one body under Christ the head; and members one of another Closely connected together, and nearly related to one another, and so bound to be helpful to one... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 12:1-21

12:1-15:13 CHRISTIAN FAITH IN PRACTICEResponsibilities and relationships (12:1-21)For eleven chapters Paul has been explaining what God in his mercy has done, and will yet do, for repentant sinners. Now he reminds those who have experienced this mercy that the most fitting act of worship by which they can show their thanks is to offer themselves as living sacrifices to God. No longer are they to think and act like non-Christians. Their minds must be changed so that they see issues from a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 12:6

And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.In these verses, Paul enumerated, with appropriate admonitions, some of the various gifts of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 12:6

Romans 12:6. According to the proportion of faith— This proportion of faith, and the measure of faith, Rom 12:3 seem not to relate to the degree of any gift considered in itself, but rather to the relation and proportion which it bore to the gifts of others: for it is plain, that the Apostle is here exhorting every man to keep soberly withinhis own sphere. It is natural to suppose that the new converts might be puffed up with the several gifts which were bestowed upon them, and every one might... read more

6-8. Having then gifts differing according to the grace given to us—Here, let it be observed, all the gifts of believers alike are viewed as communications of mere grace. whether—we have the gift of prophecy—that is, of inspired teaching (as in :-). Anyone speaking with divine authority—whether with reference to the past, the present, or the future—was termed a prophet (Exodus 7:1). let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith—rather, "of our faith." Many Romish expositors and some... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 12:1-13

VI. THE PRACTICE OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS 12:1-15:13In contrasting chapters 1-11 with chapters 12-16 of Romans, perhaps the most important distinction is that the first part deals primarily with God’s actions for humanity, and the last part deals with people’s actions in response to God’s. This is an oversimplification of the book, but the distinction is a valid one. God’s provision contrasts with man’s responsibility to behave in a manner consistent with what God has done, is doing, and will do... read more

B. Conduct within the church 12:3-21Every Christian has the same duty toward God, namely, dedication (Romans 12:1-2). Nevertheless the will of God for one Christian will differ from His will for another concerning life and ministry within the body of Christ (Romans 12:3-21). read more
