Romans 8:26

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-35

VICTORY AND SECURITY That part of chapter 7 on which we now enter is biographical, giving Paul’s experience at a period when, though, regenerated, he was still living under the law and in ignorance of the deliverance to be had in Christ. It is a revelation that the believer possesses two natures that of the first Adam received at his physical birth, and that of the second Adam received in regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith. The man here described has been baptized into Jesus... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Romans 8:1-39

The Spirit of Christ Rom 8:9 It must, then, be of infinite consequence to find out as nearly and completely as we may what that Spirit is. The sentence is marked by a striking tone of finality. It is a sentence complete in itself; it would seem to hold an entire Bible. It has upon the reader the effect of having seen the standard by which all life and thought must be judged not a standard in the sense of one of many, but the standard, the only standard; if a man fail there it is of no... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 8:18-30

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (19) For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (20) For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (21) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (22) For... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:26-27

26,27 Though the infirmities of Christians are many and great, so that they would be overpowered if left to themselves, yet the Holy Spirit supports them. The Spirit, as an enlightening Spirit, teaches us what to pray for; as a sanctifying Spirit, works and stirs up praying graces; as a comforting Spirit, silences our fears, and helps us over all discouragements. The Holy Spirit is the spring of all desires toward God, which are often more than words can utter. The Spirit who searches the... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 8:1-99

Romans 8 Bur now DOES this deliverance work? How is it accomplished? We find an answer to these questions when we commence to read chapter 8. At the end of chapter 7 the law of sin and death proved itself far more powerful than the law of the renewed mind. In the opening of chapter 8 the law of the Spirit, who is now given to the believer, proves itself far more powerful than the law of sin and death. The Apostle can exultingly say, It has “made me free.” Not only have we life in Christ Jesus... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 8:23-27

The sighing hope of the Christians and the Spirit's intercession: v. 23. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. v. 24. For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? v. 25. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. v. 26. Likewise the Spirit also... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 8:26

Romans THE INTERCEDING SPIRIT Rom_8:26 . Pentecost was a transitory sign of a perpetual gift. The tongues of fire and the rushing mighty wind, which were at first the most conspicuous results of the gifts of the Spirit, tongues, and prophecies, and gifts of healing, which were to the early Church itself and to onlookers palpable demonstrations of an indwelling power, were little more lasting than the fire and the wind. Does anything remain? This whole great chapter is Paul’s triumphant... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 8:18-30

Hoping for the Completed Redemption Romans 8:18-30 Creation groans for freedom from the serpent’s trail. Like a captive maiden she sighs to be delivered from the curse which sin has brought upon her. The saints groan for the resurrection of the body and their full admission into the complete enjoyment of redemption. The Spirit also groans for the speedy accomplishment of God’s purposes-the salvation of the lost, the unity of the Church, and the advent of the Father’s kingdom. His yearnings... read more
