Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 3:28

(28) Therefore. . . .—There is a remarkable division of some of the best authorities in this verse between “therefore” and “for.” The weight of authority seems somewhat in favour of “for,” which also makes the best sense. That boasting is excluded is much rather the consequence than the cause of the principle that man is justified by faith. This principle the Apostle regards as sufficiently proved by his previous argument.We conclude.—This conveys too much the idea of an inference; the... read more

Romans 3:1-3 'The Jews,' says Heine, 'might well console themselves for the loss of Jerusalem and the Temple, and the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred jewels of the high priest, and the golden vases of Solomon. Such a loss is trifling compared with the Bible that indestructible treasure which they saved.' References. III. 1. H. S. Holland, Vital Values, p. 211. III. 1-8.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 3:21-31

Chapter 9THE ONE WAY OF DIVINE ACCEPTANCERomans 3:21-31So then "there is silence" upon earth, that man may hear the "still, small voice," "the sound of stillness," {1 Kings 19:12} from the heavens. "The Law" has spoken, with its heart-shaking thunder. It has driven in upon the soul of man, from many sides, that one fact-guilt; the eternity of the claim of righteousness, the absoluteness of the holy Will of God, and, in contrast, the failure of man, of the race, to meet that claim and do that... read more

3. The Righteousness of God Revealed. Justification, what it is and what it Includes. Chapter 3:21-5:11. CHAPTER 3:21-31 1. The Righteousness of God Manifested. (Romans 3:21-22 .) 2. Just and Justifier. (Romans 3:23-26 .) 3. Not of Works but of Faith. (Romans 3:27-31 .) Romans 3:21-22 And now God comes forward and manifests His righteousness. Romans 3:21 must be connected with Romans 1:17 . As previously stated chapter 1:18-3.20 is a parenthesis proving all the world destitute of... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 3:24

3:24 {9} Being justified {u} freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:(9) Therefore this righteousness which we gain is altogether freely given, for its foundation is upon those things which we have not done ourselves, but rather those things which Christ has suffered for our sakes, to deliver us from sin.(u) By his free gift, and liberality. read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 3:25

3:25 {10} Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his {x} blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that {y} are past, through the {z} forbearance of God;(10) God then is the author of that free justification, because it pleased him: and Christ is he who suffered punishment for our sins, and in whom we have remission of them: and the means by which we apprehend Christ is faith. In short, the result is the setting forth of the goodness of God, that by... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 3:26

3:26 To declare, [I say], {a} at this time his righteousness: that he might be {b} just, and the {c} justifier of him which {d} believeth in Jesus.(a) That is, when Paul wrote this.(b) That he might be found exceedingly truth and faithful.(c) Making him just and without blame, but putting Christ’s righteousness to him.(d) Of the number of those who by faith lay hold upon Christ: contrary to whom are those who seek to be saved by circumcision, that is by the law. read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 3:27

3:27 {11} Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what {e} law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.(11) An argument to prove this conclusion, that we are justified by faith without works, taken from the result of justification. The result of justification is the glory of God alone: therefore we are justified by faith without works: for if we were justified either by our own works alone, or partly by faith and partly by works, the glory of this justification would not be wholly given to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:1-31

What Advantage Has the Jew? Since God requires subjection of heart from the Jew, and at the same time honors a like subjection of heart in the Gentiles, the question arises, "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?" What value is there in the very institution of the system of Judaism - instituted, in fact, by God Himself? It is answered plainly, "Much every way: chiefly that unto them were committed the oracles of God." There is no argument here that this... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 3:21-31

THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS If a righteousness were not obtainable by the words of the law as we saw in our last lesson, then a Jew especially might well ask in surprise how it were obtainable. To which the apostle replies, that “now apart from the law a righteousness of God is manifested,” (Romans 3:21 RV), i.e., a righteousness which may become man’s without the keeping of the law. This righteousness he describes as: “Witnessed by the law and the prophets,” in other words, taught in the Old... read more
