Romans 11:12-36 KJV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:33

‘O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!’ As Paul considers the amazing nature of God’s plan, to leave the Jews in unbelief so that the way might be opened to the Gentiles, and then sees how this in turn will result in the Gentiles going to the Jews with the Gospel, he cries out in amazement. How deep are the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments, how... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:33-36

Paul Marvels At The Amazing Wisdom And Knowledge Of God As He Considers God’s Way Of Working As Revealed In What He Himself Has Said (11:33-36). Paul now marvels at the wisdom and knowledge that God has demonstrated in what He has done in using the unbelief of the Jews to bring about the evangelisation of the Gentiles, and then using the Gentiles to evangelise the Jews. It may also have in mind wonder at God’s method of salvation in chapters 1-8. But his verdict is that God’s judgments are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:34-35

‘For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counsellor? or who has first given to him, and it will be recompensed to him again?’ For who can possibly fathom the mind of the Lord? And who could possibly counsel Him? And who could first give something to God, so that God has to recompense him? All the giving is initially done by God. It is He Who acts towards us in the first place, not we who act towards Him. It is He Who offers salvation, and we who then receive. We owe... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:36

‘For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.’ And the reason why what he has just declared is true is because everything, apart from sin which is an act of man, is of God. He is the source of all things (‘out of Him’), He is the controller of all things (‘through Him’), He is the goal of all things (‘to Him’). To Him therefore be the glory. Amen (this is sure). Excursus. Is The Church The True Israel In God’s Eyes? Is The Church the True Israel?... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-12

Romans 11:1-2 Kings : . The Elect Remnant.— Paul comes to the third part of his proof that “ God’ s word” to Israel “ has not fallen through,” despite the national rejection of Jesus Christ. Romans 11:1 . Romans 11:2 a. That “ God has not cast away His people” ( cf. 1 Samuel 12:22, Psalms 94:14, etc.), the “ Israelite” Paul is a living proof— God’ s people, that is, “ whom He foreknew” ( cf. Romans 8:29 *, 1 Peter 1:2). Romans 11:2 b – Romans 11:4 . One remembers how “ Elijah” mourned... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:13-24

Romans 11:13-Jeremiah : . The Ingrafting of the Gentiles.— From Romans 9:1 onwards, Paul has written as a Jew to Jews; here he turns to the other half of the Church (see Introd. § 3 ). Romans 11:13 . “ But to you Gentiles I say.” Paul’ s labour in their evangelisation has an ulterior object; he would fain “ somehow stir to jealousy his own flesh and blood,” etc. ( cf. Romans 10:19; also 1 Corinthians 9:20-Song of Solomon :). “ I glorify my ministry,” make it renowned ( cf. Romans... read more

Romans 11:25-Zephaniah : . The Mystery of Israel’ s Future. Romans 11:25-Ezekiel : a . It may save Gentile believers from a dangerous “ self-conceit” ( cf. Romans 12:16) to learn “ the secret that the hardening” (see Romans 11:7) which “ has partially befallen Israel” (the remnant is exempt; Romans 11:5; Romans 11:7), will last only “ until the full complement of the nations enters” into God’ s kingdom; “ then all Israel will be saved.” A mystery is a secret truth concerning God’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 11:12

Another anticipation. The apostle having showed, that the falling away of the Jews was an occasion of the coming in of the Gentiles, it might be objected, that the conversion of the Jews might likewise be an occasion of the falling away of the Gentiles. To this he answers negatively, and confirms his answer by an argument from the less to the greater; that if their fall and diminution were the riches of the Gentiles, their calling again would be so much more: q.d. If God hath made use of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 11:13

i.e. I speak to you of being rich in the faith above the Jews, because I challenge a special interest in you, inasmuch as I am appointed to be the apostle of the Gentiles, and am sent chiefly unto them: see Romans 15:16; Acts 9:15; Acts 13:2; Acts 22:21; Acts 26:17; Galatians 1:16; Galatians 2:7; Ephesians 3:8; 2 Timothy 1:11. And therefore, in thus setting forth your privileges and blessings: I magnify mine office. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 11:14

q.d. And I thus extol God’s favour and mercy to you, that it may be a means (if God please) to provoke the Jews, that are my own flesh and blood, to a holy emulation or jealousy, {see Romans 11:11} when they shall see the Gentiles possess what was promised to them. Question. How doth he say, that he may save some of them? Is not God the author of salvation? Answer. Yes; but he hath given his ministers to be instruments therein, and called them fellow workers with himself, 1 Corinthians 6:1; see... read more
