Romans 15:33 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 15:30-33

Here we have, I. St. Paul's desire of a share in the prayers of the Romans for him, expressed very earnestly, Rom. 15:30-32. Though Paul was a great apostle, yet he begged the prayers of the meanest Christians, not here only, but in several other of the epistles. He had prayed much for them, and this he desires as the return of his kindness. Interchanging prayers is an excellent token of the interchanging of loves. Paul speaks like one that knew himself, and would hereby teach us how to value... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Romans 15:30-33

15:30-33 Brothers, I call upon you by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive along with me in prayer to God for me; for I need your prayers that I may be rescued from those in Jerusalem who do not believe, and that the help that I am bringing to Jerusalem may prove acceptable to God's dedicated people there. I want you to pray that by God's will I may come to you with joy, and enjoy a time of rest with you. The God of peace be with you all. Amen. We came to the end... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:33

Now the God of peace be with you all, Amen. As God is in this chapter before styled the God of patience, Romans 15:5 , and the God of hope, Romans 15:13 , because of his concern in these graces; so he is here styled "the God of peace", because of his concern in that peace which is made between him and his people, by the blood of Christ. This peace was first upon his thoughts, which are therefore called thoughts of peace; a council of peace was held between him and his Son upon this head;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:33

The God of peace be with you - The whole object of the epistle is to establish peace between the believing Jews and Gentiles, and to show them their mutual obligations, and the infinite mercy of God to both; and now he concludes with praying that the God of peace - he from whom it comes, and by whom it is preserved - may be for ever with them. The word Amen, at the end, does not appear to have been written by the apostle: it is wanting in some of the most ancient MSS. In the preceding... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:5-33

The Divine character in relation to the human. "The God of patience and consolation;" "the God of hope;" "the God of peace." The great object of Christ's coming into the world was to save sinners. He does this by revealing God. He is Emmanuel, "God with us." "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." Christ reveals the Divine character. He reveals it in his teaching—the Divine holiness. He reveals it in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:14-33

Farewell words. The apostle in these verses touches, as at the first (see Romans 1:1-15 ), on his personal relations to the Church at Rome. And he reintroduces the subject with much delicate courtesy. He may have seemed to be speaking somewhat boldly, to have assumed a knowledge and goodness superior to theirs: not so! They, he was sure, were "full of goodness, filled with all knowledge," and therefore "able to admonish one another." But he might at least remind them of what they knew;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:14-33

The apostle's programme. The didactic and hortatory portions of the Epistle are now over, and a few personal explanations and salutations are all that remain. They need not detain us long. And here we have— I. PAUL 'S REASONS FOR WRITING TO THE ROMANS . ( Romans 15:14-21 .) It is not because the Church at Rome is deficient in either knowledge or preaching power. The list in last chapter shows how many able men and women composed the Church. But the reason is: 1. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 15:30-33

Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; that I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints. Here he seems to imply a possibility of even the Jewish Christians not receiving him, with the alms he brought them, kindly. In 2 Oct. Romans 8:18 , seq ., he had shown signs of being anxious to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 15:33

Now the God of peace - God, the author or promoter of peace and union. In Romans 15:13, he is called the God of hope. Here the apostle desires that the God who gives peace would impart to them union of sentiment and feeling, particularly between the Jewish and Gentile Christians - the great object for which he labored in his journey to Judea, and which he had been endeavoring to promote throughout this Epistle; see 1 Corinthians 14:33; Hebrews 13:20.This is the close of the doctrinal and... read more
