Context of Romans 5:11

9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Commentaries on Romans 5:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11We also joy (, we exult, or glory) in God, etc. - We now feel that God is reconciled to us, and we are reconciled to him: the enmity is removed from our souls; and He, for Christ's sake, through whom we have received the atonement, , the reconciliation, has remitted the wrath, the punishment which we deserved: and now, through this reconciliation, we expect an eternal glory. It was certainly improper to translate here by atonement, instead of…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11And not only so - The apostle states another effect of justification. We also joy in God - In Romans 5:2, he had said that we rejoice in tribulations, and in hope of the glory of God.

But God designed to deliver from sin, and to work a great change. While the…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. And not only so, but we also joy--rather, "glory." in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by--"through" whom we have now received the atonement--rather, "the reconciliation" (Margin), as the same word is rendered in Ro 5:10 and in 2Co 5:18, 19. (In fact, the earlier meaning of the English word "atonement" was "the reconciliation of two estranged parties") [Trench]. The foregoing effects of justification were all benefits to ourselves, calling for…Read the comment
