Commentaries on Romans 1:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Ye are the called - Ye Romans are all invited to believe in Christ Jesus, for the salvation of your souls; and to you, with the rest, my apostolical mission extends. This appears to be the most obvious sense of the word called in this place - to be called by the Gospel is to be invited to believe in Christ Jesus, and become his disciples. The word sometimes means constituted, or made, as in Romans 1:1.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6Among whom - That is, among the Gentiles who had become obedient to the Christian faith in accordance with the design of the gospel, Romans 1:8. This proves that the church at Rome was made up partly at least, if not mainly, of Gentiles or pagans. This is fully proved in the xvith. chapter by the names of the persons whom Paul salutes.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-17These verses include typical features of New Testament letter introductions: identifying the writer or speaker (1:1–6), identifying the audience (1:7), a section of giving thanks (1:8–15), and the theme of the letter (1:16–17).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. Among whom are ye also--that is, along with others; for the apostle ascribes nothing special to the Church of Rome (compare 1Co 14:36) [Bengel]. the called--(See on Ro 8:30). of Christ Jesus--that is, either called "by Him" (Joh 5:25), or the called "belonging to Him"; "Christ's called ones." Perhaps this latter sense is best supported, but one hardly knows which to prefer.Read the comment
