Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 15:7-12

The apostle here returns to his exhortation to Christians. What he says here (Rom. 15:7) is to the same purport with the former; but the repetition shows how much the apostle's heart was upon it. ?Receive one another into your affection, into your communion, and into your common conversation, as there is occasion.? He had exhorted the strong to receive the weak (Rom. 14:1), here, Receive one another; for sometimes the prejudices of the weak Christian make him shy of the strong, as much as the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 15:13

Here is another prayer directed to God, as the God of hope; and it is, as the former (Rom. 15:5), for spiritual blessings: these are the blest blessings, and to be first and chiefly prayed for. I. Observe how he addresses himself to God, as the God of hope. It is good in prayer to fasten upon those names, titles, and attributes of God, which are most suitable to the errand we come upon, and will best serve to encourage our faith concerning it. Every word in the prayer should be a plea. Thus... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Romans 15:7-13

15:7-13 So, then, welcome one another as Christ welcomed you, that God may be praised. What I mean is this--Christ became a servant of the Jewish race and way of life for the sake of God's truth, not only to guarantee the promises which the fathers received, but also that the Gentiles should praise God for his mercy. As it stands written: "Therefore I will offer praise to God among the Gentiles and I will sing to your name." And, again it says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles with his people." And,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:11

And again ,.... It is written in Psalm 117:1 , praise the Lord all ye Gentiles, and laud him all ye people ; that is, praise him both Jews and Gentiles, for his merciful kindness and truth, as in Romans 15:2 ; the Gentiles for his mercy in choosing, redeeming, and calling them, as before; and the Jews for his truth and faithfulness in the fulfilment of his praises. R. David Kimchi on this psalm observes, that "it consists of two verses only, and that it belongs לימות המשיח ,... read more

And again Esaias saith ,.... In Isaiah 11:10 ; there shall be a root of Jesse . This prophecy is applied to the Messiah by the Jews F25 Zohar in Exod. fol. 71. 1. Vid. R. Aben Ezra & R. David Kimchi in loc. , who say, "that when the King Messiah is revealed, there shall be gathered to him all the nations of the world, so that that Scripture shall be fulfilled which is written, "there shall be a root of Jesse", &c.;' This character, "the root of Jesse", may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:13

Now the God of hope ,.... This character is taken from the latter part of Romans 15:12 , and is occasioned by it, "in him shall the Gentiles trust", or "hope"; and is proper to God as he is the author and giver of this grace; for naturally men are without it; that which is a good hope is the gift of God, and through his grace, and is wrought in the heart in regeneration; for to this are the children of God begotten again. Moreover, God is the object of it; not wealth and riches, nor works... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:13

Now the God of hope, etc. - Ὁ δε Θεος της ελπιδος , May the God of this hope - that God who caused both Jews and Gentiles to hope that the gracious promises which he made to them should be fulfilled; and who, accordingly, has fulfilled them in the most punctual and circumstantial manner; Fill you with all joy - Give you true spiritual happiness; peace in your own hearts, and unity among yourselves; in believing not only the promises which he has given you, but believing in Christ... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:11

Verse 11 11.Praise God, all ye Gentiles, etc. This passage is not inaptly applied; for how can they, who know not God’s greatness, praise him? They could no more do this than to call on his name, when unknown. It is then a prophecy most suitable to prove the calling of the Gentiles; and this appears still more evident from the reason which is there added; for he bids them to give thanks for God’s truth and mercy. (Psalms 117:1.) read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:12

Verse 12 12.And again, Isaiah, etc., This prophecy is the most illustrious of them all: for in that passage, the Prophet, when things were almost past hope, comforted the small remnant of the faithful, even by this, — that there would arise a shoot from the dry and the dying trunk of David’s family, and that a branch would flourish from his despised root, which would restore to God’s people their pristine glory. It is clear from the account there given, that this shoot was Christ, the Redeemer... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:13

Verse 13 13.And may the God, etc. He now concludes the passage, as before, with prayer; in which he desires the Lord to give them whatever he had commanded. It hence appears, that the Lord does in no degree measure his precepts according to our strength or the power of free-will; and that he does not command what we ought to do, that we, relying on our own power, may gird up ourselves to render obedience; but that he commands those things which require the aid of his grace, that he may... read more
