Commentaries on Romans 16:25

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Now to him - In the note at Romans 14:23; (note). I have shown that this and the following verses are by the most reputable MSS. and versions placed at the end of that chapter, which is supposed by most critics to be their proper place. Some of the arguments adduced in favor of this transposition may be found in the note above mentioned. I shall therefore refer to Griesbach, and proceed to make a few short remarks on the verses as they occur here. Of…Read the comment

Life and immortality are brought to light by the gospel, and the Sun of Righteousness is risen on the world. The…Read the comment

God has now made this plan known in the time of the New Testament. The Old Testament foretold that Gentiles would turn to God.
