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.

- 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.

Perhaps this latter sense is best supported, but one hardly knows which to prefer.Read the comment
