Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 1:11

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;That I may impart to you — Face to face, by laying on of hands, prayer, preaching the gospel, private conversation.Some spiritual gift — With such gifts the Corinthians, who had enjoyed the presence of St. Paul, abounded, 1 Corinthians 1:7; 12:1; 14:1. So did the Galatians likewise, Galatians 3:5; and, indeed, all those churches which had had the presence of any of the apostles had peculiar... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 1:12

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.That is, I long to be comforted by the mutual faith both of you and me - He not only associates the Romans with, but even prefers them before, himself. How different is this style of the apostle from that of the modern court of Rome! read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 1:13

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.Brethren — A frequent, holy, simple, sweet, and yet grand, appellation. The apostles but rarely address persons by their names; 'O ye Corinthians," "O Timotheus." St. Paul generally uses this appellation, " Brethren;" sometimes in exhortation, " My beloved," or, " My beloved brethren;" St. James, "Brethren,"... read more

I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.To the Greeks and the barbarians — He includes the Romans under the Greeks; so that this division comprises all nations.Both to the wise, and the unwise — For there were unwise even among the Greeks, and wise even among the barbarians.I am a debtor to all — I am bound by my divine mission to preach the gospel to them. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.For I am not ashamed of the gospel — To the world, indeed, it is folly and weakness, 1 Corinthians 1:18; therefore, in the judgment of the world, he ought to be ashamed of it; especially at Rome, the head and theatre of the world. But Paul is not ashamed, knowing it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth - The great... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 1:17

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.The righteousness of God — This expression sometimes means God's eternal, essential righteousness, which includes both justice and mercy, and is eminently shown in condemning sin, and yet justifying the sinner. Sometimes it means that righteousness by which a man, through the gift of God, is made and is righteous; and that, both by receiving Christ through faith, and by a... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:1

Exordium and Thesis , Romans 1:1-17 . The Exordium consists of three parts: the superscription, (Romans 1:1-7,) the direct address, (Romans 1:8-17,) closing with the introduction of the thesis. 1. Paul The superscription (Romans 1:1-7) is one magnificently rounded sentence, worthy the chief apostle addressing the imperial city. This too consists of three parts: the personal style of the writer, (Romans 1:1,) the surpassing nature of his topic, (Romans 1:2-5,) and the direction of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:2

2. Promised This Gospel is new and yet old. Old, as being really folded up in the Old Testament and concealed in its precious promises; new, as unfolded and unfurled in a fresh form and promulgation. The apostle here and in this whole epistle develops what he had maintained in all his arguments with the Jews in their synagogues in their various cities, and in his defences in their various arraignments, that new Christianity was but the real continuity of old Israelitism, and that modern... read more

3. Concerning his Son Depending on Gospel the Gospel concerning his Son. The good news about the Messiah, for it should never be forgotten that, whereas Jesus is a name, Christ is a title. (See notes on Matthew 1:1, and John 4:25.) Seed of David (See note on Matthew 1:1.) read more
