The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 3:21-31

Justification by Faith. The righteousness of God revealed: v. 21. But now the righteousness of God without the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the prophets; v. 22. even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference, v. 23. for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; v. 24. being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; v. 25. whom God... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 3:1-20

Romans 3:1-201What advantage then hath [What, then, is the advantage of] the Jew? or what profit is there [what is the benefit] of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, [First, indeed,]1 because that unto them were committed [they 3—i.e., the Jews—were entrusted with, ἐπιστεύθησαν] the oracles of God. For what [What, then,]2 if some did not believe [were faithless]? shall their unbelief [faithlessness, or, unfaithfulness] make the faith of God without effect4[destroy, or, nullify the... read more

Sixth Section.—The revelation of God’s righteousness without the law by faith in Christ for all sinners without distinction, by the representation of Christ as the Propitiator (“mercy-seat”).

Justification by faith without the deeds of the law. First proof: from experience: God is the God of the Gentiles as well as of the Jews—proved... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 3:19-21

Romans WORLD-WIDE SIN AND WORLD-WIDE REDEMPTION Rom_3:19 - Rom_3:26 . Let us note in general terms the large truths which this passage contains. We may mass these under four heads: I. Paul’s view of the purpose of the law. He has been quoting a mosaic of Old Testament passages from the Psalms and Isaiah. He regards these as part of ‘the law,’ which term, therefore, in his view, here includes the whole previous revelation, considered as making known God’s will as to man’s conduct. Every... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 3:22

Romans WORLD-WIDE SIN AND WORLD-WIDE REDEMPTION NO DIFFERENCE Rom_3:22 . The things in which all men are alike are far more important than those in which they differ. The diversities are superficial, the identities are deep as life. Physical processes and wants are the same for everybody. All men, be they kings or beggars, civilised or savage, rich or poor, wise or foolish, cultured or illiterate, breathe the same breath, hunger and thirst, eat and drink, sleep, are smitten by the same... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 3:1-8

God Faithful Though Men Be Faithless Romans 3:1-8 The Jewish people had a great treasure entrusted to them for the benefit of the whole world. This position as stewards for mankind conferred upon them very special privileges, but also exposed them to searching discipline, if they should prove faithless. Some of these advantages are enumerated in Romans 9:4-5 . But our failures cannot cancel God’s faithfulness to His covenant promises, 2 Timothy 2:13 . We may always reckon confidently upon... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 3:9-20

All Justly under Judgment Romans 3:9-20 A number of quotations are advanced-mostly from the Septuagint or Greek version of the Old Testament-establishing the hopeless evil of man’s condition. These apply, in the first place, to God’s peculiar people, the Jews; but if true of them, how terrible must be the condition of the great heathen world! Every mouth will be stopped and all the world brought in guilty before God, Romans 3:19 . Various organs of the body are enumerated, and in each ease... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 3:21-31

All Freely Justified by Grace Romans 3:21-31 From the universal need the Apostle turns to the all-sufficient remedy. The Law and the Prophets hinted dimly at justification by faith, but did not unveil it. God’s way of justification is to impute righteousness to the believer. He places us in that position in law, before proceeding by the Holy Spirit to bring us into the condition of holiness. The perfect day is imputed to the dawn, the perfect flower to the seed, the finished picture to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 3:1-31

Paul here turned to a brief discussion of certain objections. First, "What advantage, then, hath the Jew?" He replied, "Much, every way." He then mentioned only one, which he spoke of as being "first of all," meaning of supreme importance, "that they were entrusted with the oracles of God." Therein lay the supreme advantage of the Jew. Then arises a new question. If man's faith fails, will God be unfaithful? To this the apostle replied that is it impossible for God to be unfaithful. The... read more
