Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:18

8:18 {20} For I {t} reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.(20) Thirdly, that this glory which we look for surpasses a thousand times the misery of our afflictions.(t) All being well considered, I gather. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:19

8:19 {21} For the earnest expectation of the {u} creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.(21) Fourthly, he plainly teaches us that we will certainly be renewed from that confusion and horrible deformation of the whole world, which cannot be continual, as it was not this way at the beginning: but as it had a beginning by the sin of man, for whom it was made by the ordinance of God, so will it at length be restored with the elect.(u) All this world. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:20

8:20 For the creature was made subject to {x} vanity, not {y} willingly, but by reason {z} of him who hath subjected [the same] in {a} hope,(x) Is subject to a vanishing and disappearing state.(y) Not by their natural inclination.(z) That they should obey the Creator’s commandment, whom it pleased to show by their sickly state, how greatly he was displeased with man.(a) God would not make the world subject to be cursed forever because of the sin of man, but gave it hope that it would be... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:21

8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the {b} bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.(b) From the corruption which they are now subject to, they will be delivered and changed into the blessed state of incorruption, which will be revealed when the sons of God will be advanced to glory. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:22

8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and {c} travaileth in pain together until now.(c) By this word is meant not only exceeding sorrow, but also the fruit that follows from it. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:23

8:23 {22} And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within {d} ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], {e} the redemption of our body.(22) Fifthly, if the rest of the world looks for a restoring, groaning as it were for it and that not in vain, let us also sigh, indeed, let us be more certainly persuaded of our redemption to come, for we already have the first fruits of the Spirit.(d) Even from the bottom of our hearts.(e)... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:24

8:24 {23} For we are saved by hope: but {f} hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?(23) Sixthly, hope is necessarily joined with faith: seeing then that we believe those things which we are not yet in possession of, and hope does not refer to the thing that is present, we must therefore hope and patiently wait for that which we believe will come to pass.(f) This is spoken by the figure of speech metonymy, that is, "hope", which stands for that which is... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Romans 8:26

8:26 {24} Likewise the Spirit also {g} helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh {h} intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.(24) Seventhly, there is no reason why we should faint under the burden of afflictions, seeing that prayers minister to us a most sure help: which cannot be frustrated, seeing that they proceed from the Spirit of God who dwells in us.(g) Bears our burden, as it were, so that we do not... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:1-39

Deliverance Simply by God's Truth We come now, in the first four verses here, to the deliverance itself. Is this to be by means of experience? A mere glance at the verses will show us it is decidedly not so. Experience does not, and cannot produce liberty. Liberty, on the other hand, when known, is in itself an experience. But the means of finding liberty experimentally, rests altogether upon the testimony of God. What can be more striking than that here we have but a few pointed, absolute... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-35

VICTORY AND SECURITY That part of chapter 7 on which we now enter is biographical, giving Paul’s experience at a period when, though, regenerated, he was still living under the law and in ignorance of the deliverance to be had in Christ. It is a revelation that the believer possesses two natures that of the first Adam received at his physical birth, and that of the second Adam received in regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith. The man here described has been baptized into Jesus... read more
