Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:25-26

‘Now to him who is able (tow dunamenow - to him that is of power) to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept in silence through times eternal, but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known to all the nations unto obedience of faith,’ The letter concludes with this final doxology which ties in closely with the opening... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:27

‘To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.’ ‘To the only wise God -- to whom be glory for ever and ever’. Paul finishes with praise to the One Who is the only God, the One Who is supremely wise (compare Romans 11:32-34), as he considers the wonder of His way of salvation. And this wisdom of God has especially been revealed in His way of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. As he says in 1 Corinthians 1:30, ‘Christ is made to us wisdom from God, even... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:3-16

Romans 16:3-Nehemiah : . Personal Greetings.— Beside the two household groups of Romans 16:10 f., the catalogue contains twenty-six names, eight being those of women. Many of the names appearing were commonly borne by slaves. In language, seven are Latin, one is Hebrew, the remainder Greek: Rome at this date swarmed with Greeks, and the Roman Church remained of Greek speech till the third century. The distribution seems to indicate different centres of meeting in this immense city. 14 and 15... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:17-20

Romans 16:17-Proverbs : . A Postscript of Admonition. Romans 16:17 . Supposing the paragraph in its right place (see Introd. § 4 ), it would seem that Paul, in glancing over his letter and thinking of the troubles of other churches ( Romans 16:16), feels that he has not written strongly enough about “ those that are causing divisions” and appends a warning postscript, somewhat in the fashion of Galatians 6:11-Nehemiah :. Romans 16:18-Psalms : a. Such as these are bondmen to their own... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:21-23

Romans 16:21-Isaiah : . Greeting from Paul’ s Friends in Corinth. Romans 16:21 . “ Timothy” was by Paul’ s side during this period (see Acts 19:22; Acts 20:4, 2 Corinthians 1:1. Of the Jewish “ Lucius, Jason, Sosipatros,” the first may or may not have been Paul’ s old Antiochene colleague of Acts 13:1; Lucius was a familiar Latin name— certainly not identical with Luke (Lucas=Lucanus). The second (often a Greek alias for Jesus) was, not improbably, Jason of Thessalonica ( Acts 17:5-1... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:25-27

Romans 16:25-Daniel : . The Closing Doxology.— As to the place of this passage, see Introd. § 4 . At first sight, it looks like a paragraph strayed from Ephesians, Colossians, or the Pastorals (see the Revised parallel references); close examination shows it relevant enough to this epistle. Romans 16:25 f. Paul renders praise “ to him that is able” ( cf. Ephesians 3:20) “ to establish you”— his own earnest longing ( Romans 1:11; cf. Romans 14:4)—“ according to my gospel (as in Romans... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 16:7

Salute Andronicus and Junia; it may be rendered Junius. Some think this Junia was a woman, and the wife of Andronicus; others take them both for men. My kinsmen; so he calls them, either because they were Jews, Romans 9:3; or because they were of the same tribe; or because they were more nearly related to him by consanguinity and affinity. My fellow prisoners; i.e. they had been imprisoned for the gospel, as well as he: the apostle had been often in prison himself, 2 Corinthians 11:23. We read,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 16:8

Some translations call him Ampliatus; it is a Roman name. My beloved in the Lord; this is added, to show that he did not love him for his riches, or any outward respect, but for the Lord’s sake; for the grace of Christ, which appeared in him. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 16:9

Urbane; this also is a Roman name; it was coveted afterwards by many bishops of Rome. Our helper in Christ; the same that was said of Aquila and Priscilla, Romans 16:3. Possibly he might be one of their teachers. Stachys my beloved; this is a Greek name, which signifieth an ear of corn. Some have reported, he was the first bishop of Constantinople: he was doubtless a person eminent in grace and gifts, or else the apostle would never have dignified him with this additional commendation, that he... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 16:10

Origen supposeth this Apelles to be Apollos, of whom you read, Acts 18:24, and in other places. Epiphanius saith, he was teacher in the churches of Smyrna, before Polycarpus. Approved in Christ; one who hath showed himself a faithful and sincere Christian, who hath given many proofs of his sincerity, zeal, and constancy. This is a high encomium; to be in Christ is much, to be approved in Christ is more: tried gold is most precious. In a time of trial, to stand fast, and hold his own, is a... read more
