Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 12:9-16

9-16 The professed love of Christians to each other should be sincere, free from deceit, and unmeaning and deceitful compliments. Depending on Divine grace, they must detest and dread all evil, and love and delight in whatever is kind and useful. We must not only do that which is good, but we must cleave to it. All our duty towards one another is summed up in one word, love. This denotes the love of parents to their children; which is more tender and natural than any other; unforced,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 12:1-99

Romans 12 THUS Romans 11.0 ends very much as Romans 8.0 ended. In both we have the purpose of God and His electing mercy. Small wonder then that chapter 12 opens with an appeal based upon the mercies of God. In this way we commence the hortatory and practical section of the epistle. There is only one thing to do in response to the abounding compassion which has reached us in the Gospel we present our bodies to God as a sacrifice livingly devoted to Him. This is reasonable, or intelligent,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Romans 12:13-15

Romans STILL ANOTHER TRIPLET Rom_12:13 - Rom_12:15 . In these verses we pass from the innermost region of communion with God into the wide field of duties in relation to men. The solitary secrecies of rejoicing hope, endurance, and prayer unbroken, are exchanged for the publicities of benevolence and sympathy. In the former verses the Christian soul is in ‘the secret place of the Most High’; in those of our text he comes forth with the light of God on his face, and hands laden with... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Romans 12:9-21

Living as a Christian Romans 12:9-21 In this section the Apostle shows how the great principle of consecration must affect the details of conduct. It is most necessary to insist on these practical issues. At some impressive religious convention, where the vision of a surrendered and transfigured life is presented, sensitive souls are led to make the vows and claim the plane of life which have been presented; but on their return to the commonplaces, there is no perceptible improvement in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Romans 12:1-21

The word "therefore" links all that is now to be said with everything that has gone before. Because of the grace of God, the believer is called to certain attitudes and actions. The very first of these is personal abandonment to God. In what sense is it possible to present the body to God? The true ideal is to use it in all its powers according to the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The spirit is evidently God's. The body, therefore, is presented to God. The mind is thus renewed... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 12:1-21

A Call To Make Real In The Church And In The World The Righteousness Which They Have Received (12:1-15:33). This section moves from the indicative to the imperative. Having outlined the ways of God in salvation: · in applying to His people the righteousness of Christ (Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25), · in uniting them with Christ in His death and resurrection (Romans 6:1-11), · in making them righteous within by His Spirit (Romans 8:1-18), · and in having demonstrated God’s sovereign activity in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 12:9-21

A Call To Fulfil The Law Of Christ And Of The Scriptures. The Working Out Of Love (12:9-21). Having dealt with what was necessary for the edifying and upbuilding of the body of Christ, Paul now turns to what is required of Christians as they live ‘in newness of life’ (Romans 6:3-4). In the terms of chapter 6 we are to be ‘slaves of righteousness’ (Romans 6:18). The injunctions appear in one sense to be a miscellany, but they cover various aspects of daily experience, and they present us with a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 12:14-18

Commands To Love All (12:14-18). Having looked at the needs of believers, Paul now turns his attention to the need for those who have experienced the mercies of God to demonstrate love towards all men, including, of course, believers. These injunctions commence with the requirement that we love even our enemies who persecute us (Romans 12:14), and they end with the need to be seen as honourable in the sight of ‘all men’, and with a desire that believers might be at peace with ‘all men’. They... read more
