Commentaries on Romans 11:36

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 36For of him, etc. - This is so far from being the case, for , of him, as the original designer and author; and ', By him, as the prime and efficient cause; and , To him, as the ultimate end for the manifestation of his eternal glory and goodness, are all things in universal nature, through the whole compass of time and eternity. The Emperor Marcus Antoninus ( ̔, lib. iv.) has a saying very much like this of St. Paul, which it is very probable he borrowed…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 36For of him - ̓͂ ex autoucompare 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 8:6. This expression doubtless means that he is the original source and fountain of all blessings. He is the Creator of all, the rich “fountain from which all streams of existence take their rise. The design of this verse is to show that no creature has any claim on God. Jews and Gentiles must alike receive salvation on the ground of his mercy. So far from having a claim on God, the apostle…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-36Verses 33-36 The apostle Paul knew the mysteries of the kingdom of God as well as ever any man; yet he confesses himself at a loss; and despairing to find the bottom, he humbly sits down at the brink, and adores the depth.

The Divine counsels are complete; they have not…Read the comment

Paul sometimes used language and ideas from the Greco-Roman world to explain and clarify the truth about God and what God is doing. Paul does this in other places as well, such as in his speech in Acts 17:24–29.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3636. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom--"to Him" be glory for ever. Amen--Thus worthily--with a brevity only equalled by its sublimity--does the apostle here sum up this whole matter. "Of Him are all things," as their eternal Source: "THROUGH Him are all things," inasmuch as He brings all to pass which in His eternal counsels He purposed: "To Him are all things," as being His own last End; the manifestation of the glory of…Read the comment
