Romans 1:9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son.Paul’s appeal to GodI. Its ground is the consciousness of entire consecration to the service of that God whom he had found in the revelation of His Son.1. These are the two thoughts which are stamped on the whole of this introduction, and which everywhere else are prominent.(1) Before he knew Christ his God was always the object of his fear and devotion. But how different was that God and his knowledge of... read more

Romans 1:10-12Making request, if by any means … I might have a prosperous journey.Prosperous journeyWhat is necessary to render a journey, or a voyage, prosperous in the estimation of a real Christian? Is he satisfied if by it his temporal interests are advanced, if he enjoys worldly pleasure, if he meets with kind friends, if he be preserved from calamity, and return home with invigorated health? These are blessings which require his grateful acknowledgments to God. With these he ought to be... read more

Romans 1:13Oftentimes I purposed to come unto you. Paul’s purposeI. Its history. “Oftentimes.” The project doubtless early formed. What more natural than that so distinguished a Christian citizen should desire to see the gospel firmly planted in the centre of the empire. This would be strongly opened by the conviction that from Rome the gospel would perforce radiate more powerfully. A Christianised Rome would mean a Christianised world. The purpose was originated or confirmed by Divine... read more

Romans 1:14-16I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians.I am debtorThe text raises a question on points which, in mercantile phraseology, would be designated--I. The business.1. A merchant, embarked in an extensive foreign trade, has fallen into the habit of doing a good deal of petty business at home on which the profit is small; but it is near, and therefore occupies time out of all proportion to its worth. In the meantime rumours are rife that in one foreign market prices had... read more

Romans 1:17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith.Righteousness revealedI. The gospel is a revelation of God’s righteousness.1. Righteousness is a regard to what is right.2. God is essentially a righteous Being. He knows what is due from each to the rest, and from all to Himself, and also sees and acknowledges what is due from Him to them. The foundation and standard of all righteousness are to be found in His nature and character. He has no desire, and can have no... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 1:1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Ver. 1. Paul ] A little man, it should seem by his name (such as was James the Less, Mar 15:40 ): but as the Church of Philadelphia (discommended for nothing), though she had but a little strength, yet had a great door set open; and as Bethlehem was the least, and yet not the least among the princes of Judah; so was this apostle the last,1 Corinthians 15:8; 1 Corinthians 15:8 ; (and perhaps the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 1:2

2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Ver. 2. Promised ] Foreshowed and foreshadowed in the types of the ceremonial law (which was their gospel, it was Christ in figure), and in the writings of the prophets; only by degrees and piecemeal, πολυμερως . God spake of old to our fathers, by his servants the prophets, Hebrews 1:1 . All was in riddles to what it is now; and that saying took place, Et latet, et lucet. It is close, and yet clear. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Romans 1:3

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Ver. 3. Concerning his Son ] Here is a lofty and lively description of Christ’s sacred person. The whole Epistle being the confession of our Churches, as Melancthon calleth it, who therefore went over it ten different times in his ordinary lectures (Scultet. Annal.): the Epistle being such, as never can any man possibly think, speak, or write sufficiently of its worth and excellency. Mr... read more
