John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:1-33

The Rejection of Israel no Disparagement or Disproof of the GospelThe Apostle sorrows over the exclusion of Israel (Romans 9:1-5), but their exclusion does not involve any breach of God’s promises, for He always made a selection, even among the members of the chosen family (Romans 9:6-13). This cannot be unjust, for God has stated it to be His method (Romans 9:14-18). We should have no right to cavil, even if God seemed to use us sternly (Romans 9:19-21). But He has acted with mercy (Romans... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:1-36

It was obvious that the Church of Christ was coming to be almost entirely a Gentile Church, and that the Jews as a whole were refusing to accept Jesus as their Messiah. The Jew argued from this fact that Christianity could not be true. For if the Christian Church were really the fulfilment of the promised Messianic kingdom, and if the Jews were shut out from it, then God’s promises to the Jews in the OT. would have been broken, which could not be imagined.In Romans 9-11, St. Paul grapples with... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 9:1

(1) I say the truth in Christ.—The meaning of this expression seems to be, “From the bottom of my soul, in the most sacred part of my being, as a Christian man united to Christ, I make this solemn asseveration.”My conscience.—Here, as in Romans 2:15, very much in the modern sense of the word, the introspective faculty which sits in judgment upon actions, and assigns to them their moral qualities of praise or blame. “This conscience of mine being also overshadowed with the Holy Spirit, and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Romans 9:1-5

(1-5) My heart bleeds for Israel, my country, that highly-privileged people. I could fain have changed places with them, and been myself cut off from Christ, if only they might have been saved. read more

I Caught Myself Wishing Romans 9:3 'I caught myself wishing praying that I were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.' Nothing brings us nearer the heart of St. Paul than that. His wish, it has been finely said, was a spark from the fire of Christ's substitutionary love. Moses was willing to perish with his people. 'If not I pray Thee blot me out of Thy book.' The Apostle caught himself wishing that he might die for them, if need were, the eternal death. I.... read more

Chapter 20THE SORROWFUL PROBLEM: JEWISH UNBELIEF; DIVINE SOVEREIGNTYRomans 9:1-33WE may well think that again there was silence awhile in that Corinthian chamber, when Tertius had duly inscribed the last words we have studied. A "silence in heaven" follows, in the Apocalypse, {Revelation 8:1} the vision of the white hosts of the redeemed, gathered at last, in their eternal jubilation, before the throne of the Lamb. A silence in the soul is the fittest immediate sequel to such a revelation of... read more

9:1 I say {1} the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,(1) The third part of this epistle, which goes to the twelfth chapter, in which Paul ascends to the higher causes of faith: and first of all, because he purposed to speak much of the casting off of the Jews, he uses a declaration, saying by a double or triple oath, and by witnessing of his great desire towards their salvation, his singular love towards them, and in addition granting to them all... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 9:1-33

What of God's Promises to Israel? Now, such being the case - that God had purposed in eternal counsel the blessing of Gentiles on an equal basis with Jews, as it is this day - what is to become of the special promises to Israel? Did the apostle utterly ignore these in his zeal for the conversion of Gentiles? Far be the thought! Such accusations which were bound to be hurled against him, are utterly denied and proven false in his most admirable discussion, in chapters 9, 10 and 11, of Israel's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 9:1-33

PARENTHESIS CONCERNING ISRAEL These chapters carry us back to chapter 3, where Paul proved the lost condition of the Jew as well as the Gentiles. But if this were so it might be charged that the Old Testament promises to Israel had failed, which he now shows is not the case. This line of argument is threefold: first, some of Israel were already saved (chap. 9); secondly, all of Israel might be saved but for unbelief (chap. 10); thirdly, all of Israel would be saved ultimately (chap. 11).... read more
