Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:4

(4) Members in one body.—This figure of the body and the members is worked out more fully in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:4-5

(4, 5) In the church there must be a graduation, a hierarchy, a division of labour, every one doing that for which he is best fitted, just as in the body one member has one office assigned to it, and another another. All Christians, viewed collectively, make up one body, the unity of which is supplied by their relation to Christ. Viewed individually, they stand to each other in the same sort of relation as the different limbs and organs of the natural body, as foot and hand, or hand and eye. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:5

(5) In Christ.—Christ is the unifying principle in the Church, just as the personality or will is the unifying principle in man.Every one.—A somewhat peculiar phrase in the Greek, not found in this form in classical writers, meaning “as individuals.”Members one of another.—Strictly speaking, the members are called members in their relation to the body, and not in their relation to each other. We should say, rather, “fellow-members with one another.” read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:6

(6) Gifts differing according to the grace.—The English loses a point here. The word translated “gifts” means specially “gifts of grace,” grace standing here for the operation of the Spirit. Different kinds of grace, with different forms of expression, are given to different individuals, and they are to be cherished and used accordingly.Prophecy.—The gift of prophecy is treated at length in 1 Corinthians 14:0. From the detailed description there given, we gather that it was a kind of powerful... read more

(7) Ministry.—The word used is the technical term for the discharge of the office of deacon. The institution of this office is described in Acts 6:1-5. Its object was to provide for the practical business as opposed to the spiritual ministrations of the Church. It included more especially the distribution of alms and the care of the poor, the sick, widows, etc. The functions of the diaconate are called “serving tables” (i.e., in the literal sense, “providing food” for those who needed it) in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 12:8

(8) He that exhorteth.—It will be observed that in the apostolic writings, the one idea of “preaching” is divided into its several branches, “speaking with tongues,” “prophesying” (which appears to have had reference to the more recondite portions or relations of the faith), “teaching,” “exhortation.” This last form of address, corresponding perhaps rather to our word “encouragement,” would be especially needed in the troubled circumstances of the early Church.He that giveth.—In this and the... read more

The Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1 I. The Sacrifice God Requires. 'That ye present your bodies.' Our bodies, that is, the life of our bodies; for if we give our bodies as an offering, we give all that belongs to the body. The sacrifice God requires is that of the life. He demands a life devoted to Him. (a) The life may be given to business, but this must be given to Him, and so the employment of our hands and minds made holy. (b) The life may be given to science, but it must not be a... read more

Chapter 25CHRISTIAN CONDUCT THE ISSUE OF CHRISTIAN TRUTHRomans 12:1-8AGAIN we may conjecture a pause, a long pause and deliberate, in the work of Paul and Tertius. We have reached the end, generally speaking, of the dogmatic and so to speak oracular contents of the Epistle. We have listened to the great argument of Righteousness, Sanctification, and final Redemption. We have followed the exposition of the mysterious unbelief and the destined restoration of the chosen nation; a theme which we... read more

Chapter 26CHRISTIAN DUTY: DETAILS OF PERSONAL CONDUCTRomans 12:8-21ST. PAUL has set before us the life of surrender, of the "giving over" of faculty to God, in one great preliminary aspect. The fair ideal (meant always for a watchful and hopeful realisation) has been held aloft. It is a life whose motive is the Lord’s "compassions"; whose law of freedom is His will; whose inmost aim is, without envy or interference towards our fellow servants, to "finish the work He hath given us to do." Now... read more

III. EXHORTATIONS AND THE CONCLUSION. Chapters 12-16. CHAPTER 12 1. The Body as a Willing Sacrifice. (Romans 12:1-2 .) 2. Service. (Romans 12:3-8 .) 3. The Daily Walk in Holiness. (Romans 12:9-21 .) Romans 12:1-2 . Grace calls for obedience. After God has made known the riches of His grace, the fulness of the Gospel, His Spirit shows how believers should walk in a world of sin and tribulation. The first thing is to present the body a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. This... read more
