Romans 15:11

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:11

And again - Psalms 117:1. The object in this quotation is the same as before. The apostle accumulates quotations to show that it was the common language of the Old Testament, and that he was not depending on a single expression for the truth of his doctrine.All ye Gentiles - In the psalm, “all ye nations;” but the original is the same.And laud him - “Praise” him. The psalm is directly in point. It is a call on “all” nations to praise God; the very point in the discussion of the apostle. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 15:8-12

Romans 15:8-12. Now To show more fully what I mean in saying Christ received us, I observe, that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision Or vouchsafed to be a servant of the Jews, in preaching the gospel among them; for the truth of God To demonstrate his faithfulness in fulfilling the promises made unto the fathers Of sending them the Messiah; and therefore, 1st, The believing Jews, though weak, ought not to be despised by the believing Gentiles, though stronger. And, 2d, It... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 15:1-13

The use of Christian liberty (14:1-15:13)Although Christians are free from religious rules and regulations such as those found in Moses’ law, some have difficulty living with such freedom. Because their faith is not strong, they have their own laws which they feel bound to keep. Other Christians should accept such people warmly into their fellowship and not argue with them about personal opinions (14:1).Some of the Jewish Christians in the church in Rome had grown little in their faith and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 15:1-13

D. Conduct within Christian liberty 14:1-15:13In Romans 14:1 to Romans 15:13, Paul gave special attention to the problem of knowing how to live in Christian freedom. This section of Romans deals with Christian conduct when God does not specify exactly what we should do in every situation (cf. 1 Corinthians 8). In such cases some Christians will do one thing and others another, both within God’s will. How to handle these situations is the focus of this section.Paul moved on to discuss a problem... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 15:11-12

Two more quotations picture the Gentiles praising God alone apart from participation in Israel (Psalms 117:1; Isaiah 11:10). Perhaps Paul cited them to help his Jewish readers remember that their Gentile brethren did not need to come to God through Jews or Judaism. They did not need to practice some of the things that Jewish Christians did as a part of their cultural heritage. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:1-33

Jew and Gentile alike the Object of God’s Love. The Apostle’s Plans1-13. The subject of Romans 14 is continued. ’Strength’ should be displayed in helping the ’weak’ after Christ’s example (Romans 15:1-4). Let both sections be united in God’s praise, welcoming one another as Christ welcomed them (Romans 15:5-7). As the divergence of views originated in the difference between Jew and Gentile, let both remember that Christ became a Jew for the salvation of both (Romans 15:8-13).Paraphrase. ’(1)... read more
