Romans 8:1 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 8:1-9

I. The apostle here beings with one signal privilege of true Christians, and describes the character of those to whom it belongs: There is therefore now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus, Rom. 8:1. This is his triumph after that melancholy complaint and conflict in the foregoing chapter?sin remaining, disturbing, vexing, but, blessed be God, not ruining. The complaint he takes to himself, but humbly transfers the comfort with himself to all true believers, who are all... read more

William Barclay

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Romans 8:1-4

8:1-4 There is, therefore, now no condemnation against those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law which comes from the Spirit and leads to life has in Christ Jesus set me free from the law which begets sin and leads to death. As for the impotency of the law, that weakness of the law which resulted from the effects of our sinful human nature--God sent his own Son as a sin offering with that very same human nature which in us had sinned; and thereby, while he existed in the same human nature as... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1

There is therefore now, no condemnation ,.... The apostle having discoursed largely in the preceding chapter, concerning the struggle and combat believers feel within themselves, and opened the true causes and reasons of the saints' grievances and complaints, and what gives them the greatest uneasiness in this life, proceeds in this to take notice of the solid ground and foundation they have of spiritual peace and joy; which arise from their justification and adoption, the purposes and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:1

There is, therefore, now no condemnation - To do justice to St. Paul's reasoning, this chapter must be read in the closest connection with the preceding. There we have seen the unavailing struggles of an awakened Jew, who sought pardon and holiness from that law which he was conscious he had broken; and in which he could find no provision for pardon, and no power to sanctify. This conviction having brought him to the very brink of despair, and, being on the point of giving up all hope, he... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:1

Verse 1 1.There is then, etc. After having described the contest which the godly have perpetually with their own flesh, he returns to the consolation, which was very needful for them, and which he had before mentioned; and it was this, — That though they were still beset by sin, they were yet exempt fiom the power of death, and from every curse, provided they lived not in the flesh but in the Spirit: for he joins together these three things, — the imperfection under which the faithful always... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus . (The additional words of this verse in the Textus Receptus have but slight support, having probably been supplied from Romans 8:4 . They are out of place here.) "Nunc venit ad liberationem et libertatem. Non autem ponit adversativam δὲ , autem, sed conclusivam a!ra, ergo; quia jam in fine capitis 7. confinia hujus status attigit. Nunc etiam plane ex diverticulo eximio in viam redit quae habetur cap. Romans 7:6... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:1

"No condemnation." In reading this chapter, it cannot but be felt that there was, in the mind of the apostle, a very vivid sense of the contrast between the character, the position, and the prospects of the true Christian, and those of unbelievers, whether Jews or Gentiles. This contrast is kept up, either verbally or implicitly, from the beginning to the close of what is felt to be one of the most encouraging and precious portions of the apostle's writings. I. THE CHRISTIAN 'S ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:1-4

"No condemnation." This is a glorious beginning to a glorious chapter. As in some great musical work, we can tell its character from the opening bars. The apostle, having been treating some of the darkest human problems, delights to emerge into the brightness of the new condition achieved for our fallen humanity by Christ Jesus. I. HOW CLOSE IS THE UNION BETWEEN CHRIST AND HIS PEOPLE ! The preposition "in" denotes an altered state, men no longer reckoning themselves... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 8:1-5

What the Law could not do. The perpetual conscience-cry that rings through all the struggles of Romans 7:1-25 . is, "Condemnation!" But "to them that are in Christ Jesus"? "No condemnation now!" The heavens smile, the earth is glad. All things are made new. Such is the opening note of this eighth chapter; a sweet song of joy in place of the old cry of despair. And we have here following—God's work in Christ; Christ's work in us. I. GOD 'S WORK IN CHRIST . The great work... read more
