Commentaries on Romans 16:27
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27To God only wise - This comes in with great propriety. He alone who is the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, had all this mystery in himself; and he alone who knew the times, places, persons, and circumstances, could reveal the whole; and he has revealed all in such a way as not only to manifest his unsearchable wisdom, but also his infinite goodness: therefore, to him be glory for his wisdom in devising this most admirable plan; and his goodness in…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27To God only wise - The apostle here resumes the doxology which had been interrupted by the parenthesis. The attribute of “wisdom” is here brought into view, because it had been particularly displayed in this plan which was now revealed. It evinced, in an eminent degree, the “wisdom” of God. That wisdom was evinced in devising the plan; in adapting it to the renewing of the heart; the justification of the sinner; his preservation, guidance, and…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 25-27Verses 25-27 That which establishes souls, is, the plain preaching of Jesus Christ. Our redemption and salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, are, without controversy, a great mystery of godliness. And yet, blessed be God, there is as much of this mystery made plain as will bring us to heaven, if we do not wilfully neglect so great salvation. Life and immortality are brought to light by the gospel, and the Sun of Righteousness is risen on the world. The…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 25-27This doxology (a short hymn of praise) provides a fitting conclusion to Paul’s letter and its message. It brings together many of the same themes found at the beginning of the letter (1:1–15). The doxology is missing from two later manuscripts and appears in different places in some others, such as after 14:23 or after 15:33. Because of this, some have suggested that these verses were added later. However, most manuscripts place the doxology at the end of…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. To God, &c.--"To the only wise God through Jesus Christ, be"--literally, "to whom be"; that is, "to Him, I say, be the glory for ever. Amen." At its outset, this is an ascription of glory to the power that could do all this; at its close it ascribes glory to the wisdom that planned and that presides over the gathering of a redeemed people out of all nations. The apostle adds his devout "Amen," which the reader--if he has followed him with the…Read the comment
