Commentaries on Romans 12:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love - It is difficult to give a simple translation of the original: ͅ ͅ . The word signifies that affectionate regard which every Christian should feel for another, as being members of the same mystical body: hence it is emphatically termed the love of the brethren. When William Penn, of deservedly famous memory, made a treaty with the Indians in North America, and purchased from them a large woody…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Be kindly affectioned - The word used here occurs no where else in the New Testament. It properly denotes tender affection, such as what subsists between parents and children; and it means that Christians should have similar feelings toward each other, as belonging to the same family, and as united in the same principles and interests.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Be, &c.--better, "In brotherly love be affectionate one to another; in [giving, or showing] honor, outdoing each other." The word rendered "prefer" means rather "to go before," "take the lead," that is, "show an example." How opposite is this to the reigning morality of the heathen world! and though Christianity has so changed the spirit of society, that a certain beautiful disinterestedness and self-sacrifice shines in the character of not a few who…Read the comment
