Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Romans 16:27

As the only God, He is the God of both Jews and Gentiles (cf. Romans 3:29-30). As the wise God, He is the author of the plan of salvation for all mankind that Paul had expounded (cf. Romans 11:33). God is worthy of all glory because of who He is and what He has done. Our access to Him is through His Son, Jesus Christ.This doxology is similar to the others in Romans 8:31-39 and Romans 11:33-36. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 16:1-27

Greetings and Warnings1-16. Commendation and greetings.Observe the number of women to whom the Apostle sends greeting. The fact is indicative of the change wrought in the position of women by the gospel, and of the honourable place taken by them in the Christian Church. Observe also the difference of nationality indicated by the names. St. Paul, a Hebrew, sends salutation to Greeks, Romans, and perhaps Asiatics, many of them probably slaves—marking the universality of the gospel: cp. Galatians... read more
