Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 1:4

Romans THE WITNESS OF THE RESURRECTION Rom_1:4 . It is a great mistake to treat Paul’s writings, and especially this Epistle, as mere theology. They are the transcript of his life’s experience. As has been well said, the gospel of Paul is an interpretation of the significance of the life and work of Jesus based upon the revelation to him of Jesus as the risen Christ. He believed that he had seen Jesus on the road to Damascus, and it was that appearance which revolutionised his life, turned... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 1:7

Romans PRIVILEGE AND OBLIGATION Rom_1:7 . This is the address of the Epistle. The first thing to be noticed about it, by way of introduction, is the universality of this designation of Christians. Paul had never been in Rome, and knew very little about the religious stature of the converts there. But he has no hesitation in declaring that they are all ‘beloved of God’ and ‘saints.’ There were plenty of imperfect Christians amongst them; many things to rebuke; much deadness, coldness,... read more

Romans PAUL’S LONGING 1 Rom_1:11 - Rom_1:12 . I am not wont to indulge in personal references in the pulpit, but I cannot but yield to the impulse to make an exception now, and to let our happy circumstances mould my remarks. I speak mainly to mine own people, and I must trust that other friends who may hear or read my words will forgive my doing so. In taking such a text as this, I desire to shelter myself behind Paul, and in expounding his feelings to express my own, and to draw such... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 1:14

Romans DEBTORS TO ALL MEN Rom_1:14 . No doubt Paul is here referring to the special obligation laid upon him by his divine call to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. He was entrusted with the Gospel as a steward, and was therefore bound to carry it to all sorts and conditions of men. But the principle underlying the statement applies to all Christians. The indebtedness referred to is no peculiarity of the Apostolic order, but attaches to every believer. Every servant of Jesus Christ, who has... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 1:1-12

the Apostle’s Burning Desire Romans 1:1-12 Upon the threshold of his greatest Epistle, Paul describes himself as a bond-servant. Such humility as his qualified him to be the medium of God’s wondrous revelations. How great must be the Master who has the absolute devotion of such a man! Paul was called to be an Apostle; we are all called of Jesus Christ, and called to be saints, Romans 1:1 ; Romans 1:6-7 . Note that emphatic reference to our Lord’s dual nature, Romans 1:3-4 . Long before... read more

the only Power of Salvation Romans 1:13-23 We owe everything to our Lord, but since we can make Him no direct return, He has made men His residuary legatees. We are to think of others as having a claim upon us for His dear sake. In helping them, we repay Him. But note the Apostle’s humility- as much as in me is, Romans 1:15 . Paul was not indifferent to the claims of intellectual culture. He had been thoroughly trained in Hebrew and Greek literature. The high culture of the Roman world... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 1:1-32

Bringing the first and seventh verses together, we find the called apostle writing to the called saints. As for himself, Paul declared, first, that he was debtor, because a gift had been bestowed on him for the Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the foolish. In verses Rom 1:16-17 we have a statement in brief of the whole argument of the epistle, and a declaration of the Gospel deposit which made Paul a debtor. It is a Gospel of power, that is, one which is equal to the accomplishment of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 1:1-19

The Gospel of God Romans 1:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The opening statement of the first chapter of Romans gives us sufficient basis for our introductory word. The statement reads thus: "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God." There are three things here plainly stated. 1. Paul was a servant of Jesus Christ. The word means nothing less than a bond slave. It does not carry with it the thought of service for pay. It is the service rendered... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:1

‘A SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST’‘A servant of Jesus Christ.’Romans 1:1It is the highest title that is known in earth or heaven—‘a servant of Jesus Christ.’Service is based on love. Can you help to love Him Who has done all for you?—to love Him dearly? and, loving Him, must you not wish to prove your love? must not your first thought be, ‘What can I do for Him?’ I. Service is a willing surrender of the whole man; and you are at once the most perfectly free and the most absolutely bound. In the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Romans 1:7

OUR CALLING‘Called to be saints.’ Romans 1:7 St. Paul is not writing to great, well-known people. The Church of Christ in Rome did not number many of the high and mighty in the world. Most of its members were of the low and despised class, many even slaves, but whether high or low, slave or free, St. Paul addresses them all alike as ‘beloved of God, called to be saints.’ I. Our calling.—We are not called to be great; we are called to be saints. And what do we mean by saints? The word in the... read more
