Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:17

Romans 1:17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed, &c.— The term Δικαιοσυνη Θεου plainly signifies here, and in several other passages of this epistle, not the essential righteousness of God's nature, but the manner of becoming righteous which God has appointed and exhibited in the Gospel (compare chap. 3: 21, 22 Romans 10:3.Philippians 3:9; Philippians 3:9. Matthew 6:33.); and the phrase may perhaps have the same sense in many passages of the Old Testament. See Isaiah 46:13;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Romans 1:18

Romans 1:18. For— "There is no other way of obtaining life and salvation." Having laid down his proposition, the Apostle now enters upon the proof of it. His first argument is, "The law condemns all men, as being under sin; none therefore are justified by the works of the law." This is treated of to chap. Romans 3:20. And hence he infers, "therefore justification is by faith." The wrath of God signifies the vengeance of God, the destruction and punishment which he will inflict upon sinners.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:17

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed—that is (as the whole argument of the Epistle shows), GOD'S JUSTIFYING RIGHTEOUSNESS. from faith to faith—a difficult clause. Most interpreters (judging from the sense of such phrases elsewhere) take it to mean, "from one degree of faith to another." But this agrees ill with the apostle's design, which has nothing to do with the progressive stages of faith, but solely with faith itself as the appointed way of receiving God's "righteousness."... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:18

18. who hold—rather, "hold down," "hinder," or "keep back." the truth in unrighteousness—The apostle, though he began this verse with a comprehensive proposition regarding men in general, takes up in the end of it only one of the two great divisions of mankind, to whom he meant to apply it; thus gently sliding into his argument. But before enumerating their actual iniquities, he goes back to the origin of them all, their stifling the light which still remained to them. As darkness overspreads... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:1-17

I. INTRODUCTION 1:1-17This great epistle begins with a broad perspective. It looks at the promise of a Savior in the Old Testament, reviews Paul’s ministry to date, and surveys the religious history of the Gentile world."The main body of Romans is a treatise on Paul’s gospel, bracketed by an epistolary opening (Romans 1:1-17) and conclusion (Romans 15:14 to Romans 16:27). These opening and concluding statements have many similarities, not the least of which is the emphasis on the gospel. (Eight... read more

C. Theme 1:16-17If anyone thought Paul had not visited Rome because he doubted the power of his gospel to work in that sophisticated environment, the apostle now clarified his reason. These verses conclude the epistolary introduction and transition into the body of the letter by stating Paul’s theme. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:17

In this verse Paul explained what he meant when he said that when a person believes the gospel he or she is saved (Romans 1:16). What makes the gospel powerful is its content. The salvation that God has provided and offers is in keeping with His righteous character (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21).What did Paul mean by "the righteousness of God?" With the exception of 2 Corinthians 5:21, Paul used this phrase only in Romans, where it appears eight times (Romans 1:17; Romans 3:5;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:18

1. The reason for human guilt 1:18In this verse Paul began to explain why Gentiles need to hear the gospel and experience salvation. Whereas this verse gives one reason, it also serves as a general statement that summarizes human guilt.God has revealed His wrath as well as His righteousness (Romans 1:17) from heaven in the gospel. [Note: Cranfield, 1:109-10. See René A. López, "Do Believers Experience the Wrath of God?" Journal of the Grace Evangelical Society 15:29 (Autumn 2002):45-66.] As... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:18-20

II. THE NEED FOR GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS 1:18-3:20Paul began his explanation of the gospel by demonstrating that there is a universal need for it. Every human being needs to trust in Jesus Christ because everyone lacks the righteousness that God requires before He will accept us."Paul implicitly acknowledges that Romans 1:18 to Romans 3:20 is an interruption in his exposition of the righteousness of God by reprising Romans 1:17 in Romans 3:21 . . . Some think that the ’revelation of God’s wrath’ is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 1:18-32

A. The need of all people 1:18-32Perhaps Paul began by showing all people’s need for God’s righteousness first because he was the apostle to the Gentiles and his Roman readers were primarily Gentiles. His argument in Romans 1:18 to Romans 3:20 moves inward through a series of concentric circles of humanity."God never condemns without just cause. Here three bases are stated for His judgment of the pagan world. For suppressing God’s truth (Romans 1:18) For ignoring God’s revelation (Romans... read more
