Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Much more then, being--"having been"
now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Much more, then - It is much more reasonable to expect it. There are fewer obstacles in the way. If, when we were enemies, he overcame all that was in the way of our salvation; much more have we reason to expect that he will afford us protection now that we are his friends. This is one ground of the hope expressed in Rom 5:5.
Being now justified - Pardoned; accepted as his friends.
By his blood - By his death; Note, Rom 3:25. The fact that we are purchased by his blood, and sanctified by it, renders us sacred in the eye of God; bestows a value on us proportionate to the worth of the price of our redemption; and is a pledge that he will keep what has been so dearly bought.
Saved from wrath - From hell; from the punishment due to sin; Note, Rom 2:8. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Wrath (τῆς ὀργῆς)
Rev., better, "the wrath of God." the article specifying. See on Rom 12:19. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| By his blood - By his bloodshedding. We shall be saved from wrath through him - That is, from all the effects of the wrath of God. But is there then wrath in God? Is not wrath a human passion? And how can this human passion be in God? We may answer this by another question: Is not love a human passion? And how can this human passion be in God? But to answer directly: wrath in man, and so love in man, is a human passion. But wrath in God is not a human passion; nor is love, as it is in God. Therefore the inspired writers ascribe both the one and the other to God only in an analogical sense. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Much more then, being now justified - If Jesus Christ, in his endless comparison towards us gave his life for ours, while we were yet enemies; being now justified by his blood - by his death on the cross, and thus reconciled to God, we shall be saved from wrath - from punishment for past transgression, through him - by what he has thus suffered for us. |
8 But [1161] unto them that are contentious [1537] [2052], and [2532] do not obey [544] [3303] the truth [225], but [1161] obey [3982] unrighteousness [93], indignation [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709],
25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316];
5 And [1161] hope [1680] maketh [2617] not [3756] ashamed [2617]; because [3754] the love [26] of God [2316] is shed abroad [1632] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588] by [1223] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] which [3588] is given [1325] unto us [2254].
19 Dearly beloved [27], avenge [1556] not [3361] yourselves [1438], but [235] rather give [1325] place [5117] unto wrath [3709]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Vengeance [1557] is mine [1698]; I [1473] will repay [467], saith [3004] the Lord [2962].
