Romans 3:16-4:17 NIV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 3:9-18

The Scriptural Proof for the Universal Guilt of Mankind. Scripture includes all men under sin: v. 9. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise; for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles that they are all under sin; v. 10. as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; v. 11. there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. v. 12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no,... read more

Romans 3:1-201What advantage then hath [What, then, is the advantage of] the Jew? or what profit is there [what is the benefit] of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, [First, indeed,]1 because that unto them were committed [they 3—i.e., the Jews—were entrusted with, ἐπιστεύθησαν] the oracles of God. For what [What, then,]2 if some did not believe [were faithless]? shall their unbelief [faithlessness, or, unfaithfulness] make the faith of God without effect4[destroy, or, nullify the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 3:9-20

All Justly under Judgment Romans 3:9-20 A number of quotations are advanced-mostly from the Septuagint or Greek version of the Old Testament-establishing the hopeless evil of man’s condition. These apply, in the first place, to God’s peculiar people, the Jews; but if true of them, how terrible must be the condition of the great heathen world! Every mouth will be stopped and all the world brought in guilty before God, Romans 3:19 . Various organs of the body are enumerated, and in each ease... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 3:1-31

Paul here turned to a brief discussion of certain objections. First, "What advantage, then, hath the Jew?" He replied, "Much, every way." He then mentioned only one, which he spoke of as being "first of all," meaning of supreme importance, "that they were entrusted with the oracles of God." Therein lay the supreme advantage of the Jew. Then arises a new question. If man's faith fails, will God be unfaithful? To this the apostle replied that is it impossible for God to be unfaithful. The... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 3:9-25

Sin and Salvation Romans 3:9-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Word of God never belittles sin. Sin, to God, is heinous. It is black, without one ray of white. Sin to God is exceeding sinful. There is nothing in it but sorrow and shame and suffering. There are some who try to excuse their sin, inasmuch as they were born in sin, and therefore inherited a sinful nature. This is wrong. We dare have no pity toward that which would wreck and ruin us. Sin may be painted in the brightest of colors; it may... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:9-20

Both Jew And Gentile Are In The Same Position. All Are Under Sin (3:9-20). Paul does not want any of his readers to think therefore that this puts them in a better position than the Jews, for as he has already demonstrated they are all ‘under sin’. So he continues to underline that fact by the citing of a miscellany of their own Scriptures, coming finally to the conclusion that the whole world is under judgment, and therefore guilty in the eyes of God. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:10-18

‘As it is written, There is none righteous, No, not one, There is none who understands, There is none who seeks after God, They have all turned aside, They are together become unprofitable, There is none who does good, No, not, so much as one. (Psalms 14:1 b, Psalms 14:2-3) Their throat is an open sepulchre, With their tongues they have used deceit, (Psalms 5:9) The poison of asps is under their lips (Psalms 140:3), Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, (Psalms 10:7) Their feet are... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 3:13-18

All Men Have Committed Particular Sins (3:13-18). He then goes on to demonstrate this with regard to particular sins. It will be noted that the first four lines are related to sins of speech, and the next three to sins of violence, whilst the list ends up with the claim that there is no fear of God before their eyes, for if there was they would not commit such sins. Their throat is an open sepulchre, With their tongues they have used deceit, (Psalms 5:9 LXX) The poison of asps is under their... read more

Romans 3:9-Proverbs : . sums up the impeachment of mankind. Romans 3:9 . Paul has beaten down Jewish counter-pleas; he and his fellow-believers (“ we” ) might be supposed to have some apology in reserve: “ What then? do we make any defence?” ( mg.). “ Not in the least! for we have already charged Jews and Greeks alike with being all under the power of sin.” Romans 3:10-Job : . The universal accusation is restated by a string of OT sentences (p. 805 ) gathered, with the exception of Romans... read more
