- Acts 18:2
There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
Commentary on Acts 18:21 voice
"Because Claudius had commanded." Under Nero, Paul reached perfection, and under Claudius a war was kindled against the Jews, and they, as dangerous people, were expelled from Rome. Therefore Providence arranged that he was brought there as a prisoner, so that he would not be …
Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic
- Romans 1:7
To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentary on Romans 1:71 voice
You see, then, that we are told that the grace of the Father and the Son is one, and the peace of the Father and the Son is one, but this grace and peace is the fruit of the Spirit, as the Apostle taught us himself, saying: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience."
Ambrose of Milan· On the Holy Spirit, Book 1, Chapter 12, 397Patristic
- Romans 1:15
That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Commentary on Romans 1:151 voice
And most gracefully he added in what follows: "So, as much as in me lies, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also." He testifies that he is ready, who also says elsewhere: "If I do this willingly, I have a reward." For one is ready to speak to the prudent. But concerning the unwise, we must understand that which he says: "But if unwillingly, a dispensation is entrusted to me"; and: "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel."
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 1:16
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
Commentary on Romans 1:161 voice
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. Many reproaches indeed arose against the Gospel at the beginning of its preaching; but Paul had learned patience from the prophets, who say: Do not be overcome by their reproaches, and do not give way before their revilings; and he knew that he preached the Gospel not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the power of the Spirit.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 1:18–32
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
Commentary on Romans 1:18–321 voice
And just as then, those who led vicious lives, and put other people astray, were condemned and cast out, so also even now the offending eye is plucked out, and the foot and the hand, lest the rest of the body perish in like manner. And we have the precept: "If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such an one no not to eat."
Irenaeus· Irenaeus Against Heresies Book 4, 202Patristic
- Romans 2:1
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Commentary on Romans 2:11 voice
That we must not rashly judge of another. In the Gospel according to Luke: "Judge not, that ye be not judged: condemn not, that ye be not condemned." Of this same subject to the Romans: "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. But he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand." And again: "Wherefore thou art without excuse, O every man that judgest: for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou doest the same things which thou judgest.
Cyprian· Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews, 258Patristic
- Romans 2:6
God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”
Commentary on Romans 2:61 voice
Now let us inquire concerning the just judgment of God, in which he will render to each one according to his works. And first indeed let the heretics be excluded, who speak of good or evil natures of souls; and let them hear that God will render to each one not according to nature, but according to his works. In the second place let the faithful be built up, lest they suppose that this alone can suffice for them, that they believe; but let them know that the just judgment of God renders to each one according to his works.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 3:1
What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
Commentary on Romans 3:12 voices
After showing that Judaism, which involved receiving the law and circumcision, is not sufficient for salvation without the law's observance, through which the gentile without external Judaism and circumcision obtains the fruit of each, he now objects to his own doctrine: first, he presents the …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Romans, 1274Patristic
What advantage then hath the Jew?.... If he is not properly a Jew, who is born of Jewish parents, and brought up in the customs, rites, and religion of the Jewish nation, but anyone of whatsoever nation, that is born again of water, and of the Spirit; where is the superior excellency of the Jew to the Gentile?
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Romans 3:24
and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Commentary on Romans 3:241 voice
Therefore the righteousness of God, coming through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe, whether they be Jews or Greeks, justifies them once cleansed of their former crimes, and makes them capable of the glory of God: and this he does not from their merits, nor for their works, but freely bestows glory upon those who believe. "Through the redemption," he says, "which is in Christ Jesus." Let us consider more attentively what is meant by the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 4:1
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
Commentary on Romans 4:12 voices
These things having thus been explained according to our ability, it also seems by no means to be passed over that he named Abraham "our father according to the flesh." For Abraham is seen to be the father of the Gentiles according to faith, not according to the flesh.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
What shall we say then,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Commentary on Romans 5:12 voices
"Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God." By this he most plainly invites the one who has understood what it is to be justified by faith and not by works to that peace of God which surpasses every mind, in which also the summit of perfection consists.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
Therefore being justified by faith,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Romans 5:7
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
Commentary on Romans 5:71 voice
In what sense should we take what we read in the Epistle to the Romans: for scarcely for a righteous man will one die; for peradventure for the good man some would even dare to die. (Rom. 5:7) For two heretics, because they do not understand this testimony, being in different errors indeed, but with equal impiety, blaspheme.
Jerome· Letter 121, Chapter 7, 420Patristic
- Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Commentary on Romans 8:11 voice
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath freed me from the law of sin and of death." What difference there is among those who, placed as it were in a kind of contest, live with the mind according to the law of God but are driven by the desires of the flesh into the law of sin, he taught in the preceding passages.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 9:1
I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
Commentary on Romans 9:11 voice
Paul, seeing that if, according to those things which he set forth above, he could be separated from the love of Christ by no power, whether heavenly or earthly, present or future, opposing him, it would seem contrary and incredible—what he was now proposing to say: that he wished to become anathema from that Christ whom he loved so inseparably, that is, to be made a stranger to him—lest he should seem to incur the mark of a lie, he sends ahead a satisfaction, so that his word may in no way be doubted, and he says: "I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit."
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 10:1
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
Commentary on Romans 10:11 voice
Both from the beginning, and as the text of the Epistle proceeds, we have said that Paul at one time speaks on behalf of the Gentiles, at another also on behalf of Israel.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS, 253Patristic
- Romans 11:1
I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Commentary on Romans 11:11 voice
Wisely, Paul does not make the plight of Israel appear worse than it is. Even though he says that the nation is struggling in its blindness, he manages to say something positive at this point.
Cyril of Alexandria· EXPLANATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS, 444Patristic
