Romanos 1:11-13 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 1:8-15

We may here observe, I. His thanksgivings for them (Rom. 1:8): First, I thank my God. It is good to begin every thing with blessing God, to make that the alpha and omega of every song, in every thing to give thanks.?My God. He speaks this with delight and triumph. In all our thanksgivings, it is good for us to eye God as our God; this makes every mercy sweet, when we can say of God, ?He is mine in covenant.??Through Jesus Christ. All our duties and performances are pleasing to God only through... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Romans 1:8-15

1:8-15 To begin with, I thank my God for you all through Jesus Christ. I thank him that the story of your faith is told throughout the whole world. God, whom I serve in my spirit in the work of spreading the good news of his Son, is my witness that I continually talk to him about you. In my prayers I am always asking that somehow, soon, at last, I may by God's will succeed in finding a way to come to you. For I yearn to see you, that I may give you a share of some gift which the Spirit gives,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 1:11

For I long to see you ,.... Not the city of Rome, which was one of Austin's three wishes to have seen in its glory; nor the emperor of it, nor the senate in it, nor its populous inhabitants, fine buildings, riches and grandeur; but the poor saints there, which were the excellent men of the earth, of the whole Roman empire, and in whom was his delight: his desire to see them was not to gratify his curiosity, nor to spend his time in idle chat with them, nor with a view to enrich himself by... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 1:12

That is, that I may be comforted together with you ,.... This is a further explanation of his view, in being desirous of coming to them, and preaching: the Gospel among them; for what makes for establishment, makes for comfort; and what makes for comfort, makes for establishment; and when souls are established, ministers are comforted as well as they; and whilst ministers are imparting their spiritual gifts for the use of others, they themselves are sometimes comforted of God in their work,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 1:13

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren ,.... The apostle calls them brethren, because many of them were Jews, his brethren and kinsmen according to the flesh, and all of them were his brethren in a spiritual relation; and this he does to express his affection to them, and engage their attention and credit to him, and particularly to this matter which he now acquaints them with, being unwilling they should be ignorant of it; that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you : it was not a... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:11

Some spiritual gift - This probably means some of the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit, which, being given to them, might tend greatly to establish their faith in the Gospel of Christ; and it is very likely that such gifts were only conferred by means of apostles; and as the apostle had not yet been at Rome, consequently the Roman Christians had not yet received any of these miraculous gifts, and thus they differed widely from all the other Churches which had been raised by the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:12

That I may be comforted together with you - He here, with great address, intimates that he longs for this opportunity, as well on his own account as on theirs, and to show them that he arrogates nothing to himself; for he intimates that it will require the conjoint action of their faith as well as his own, to be the means of receiving those blessings from God to which he refers. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:13

But was let hitherto - The word let, from the Anglo-Saxon to hinder , signifies impediment or hinderance of any kind: but it is likely that the original word, εκωλυθην , I was forbidden, refers to a Divine prohibition: - he would have visited them long before, but God did not see right to permit him. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:11

Verse 11 11.For I greatly desire to see you He might, indeed, while absent, have confirmed their faith by his doctrine; but as advice is better taken from one present, he had a desire to be with them. But he explains what his object was, and shows that he wished to undertake the toil of a journey, not for his own, but for their advantage. — Spiritual gifts (34) he calls those which he possessed, being either those of doctrine, or of exhortation, or of prophesy which he knew had come to him... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:12

Verse 12 12.Being not satisfied with this modest statement, he qualifies it, and shows, that he did not so occupy the place of a teacher, but that he wished to learn also from them; as though he said, “I desire so to confirm you according to the measure of grace conferred on me, that your example may also add courage (alacritatem — alacrity) to my faith, and that we may thus mutually benefit one another.” See to what degree of modesty his pious heart submitted itself, so that he disdained not... read more
