Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 1:1-7

Chapter 2THE WRITER AND HIS READERSRomans 1:1-7PAUL, a bondservant of Jesus Christ. So the man opens his Lord’s message with his own name. We may, if we please, leave it and pass on, for to the letter writer of that day it was as much a matter of course to prefix the personal name to the letter as it is to us to append it. But then, as now, the name was not a mere word of routine; certainly not in the communications of a religious leader. It avowed responsibility; it put in evidence a person.... read more

Chapter 3GOOD REPORT OF THE ROMAN CHURCH: PAUL NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPELRomans 1:8-17HE has blessed the Roman Christians in the name of the Lord. Now he hastens to tell them how he blesses God for them, and how full his heart is of them. The Gospel is warm all through with life and love; this great message of doctrine and precept is poured from a fountain full of personal affection.Now first I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, about you all. It is his delight to give thanks for all the good... read more

Chapter 4NEED FOR THE GOSPEL: GOD’S ANGER AND MAN’S SINRomans 1:18-23WE have as it were touched the heart of the Apostle as he weighs the prospect of his Roman visit, and feels, almost in one sensation, the tender and powerful attraction, the solemn duty, and the strange solicitation to shrink from the deliverance of his message. Now his lifted forehead, just lighted up by the radiant truth of Righteousness by Faith, is shadowed suddenly. He is not ashamed of the Gospel; he will speak it out,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Romans 1:24-32

Chapter 5MAN GIVEN UP TO HIS OWN WAY: THE HEATHENRomans 1:24-32WHEREFORE God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, so as to dishonour their bodies among themselves.There is a dark sequence in the logic of facts, between unworthy thoughts of God and the development of the basest forms of human wrong. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God:-they are corrupt and have done abominable works". {Psalms 14:1} And the folly which does not indeed deny God, but degrades... read more

1:3 {3} Concerning his {d} Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was {e} made of the seed of David {f} according to the flesh;(3) By declaring the sum of the doctrine of the Gospel, he stirs up the Romans to consider well the matter about which he is entreating them: so then he shows that Christ (who is the very substance and sum of the gospel) is the only Son of God the Father, who with regard to his humanity is born of the seed of David, but with regard to his divine and spiritual nature, by which... read more
