Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 9:1-33

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

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 9:1

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

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 9:3

9:3 For I could wish that myself were {a} accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the {b} flesh:(a) The apostle loved his brethren so completely that if it had been possible he would have been ready to have redeemed the castaways of the Israelites with the loss of his own soul forever: for this word "accursed" signifies as much in this place.(b) Being brethren by flesh, as from one nation and country. read more

L.M. Grant

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

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
