Romanos 12
Diodorus of Tarsus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Romanos 12:6
"Prophecy" means primarily the explanation of things which are unclear, whether future or past, whether present or hidden. "Prophecy" may also refer to the interpretation of a prophet's words. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 12:8
"Exhortation" means the type of sermon in which we call those who are still in ignorance to faith in Christ. We do not at that point lay out the full meaning of the Christian life but give them the hope that if they believe in Christ they will enjoy everlasting blessings. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 12:13
The point here is that we should honor the saints and take care of their needs until they no longer have them. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 12:19
Paul uses the word wrath to describe God's punishment, not because it is some kind of passion in God but because men would find it difficult to understand God's judgment if they did not hear it compared to wrath. For since men respond to those who sin against them in wrath and anger, Scripture uses the same words to describe God's reaction, because then the average person can hear and understand it. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 12:20
Paul is not suggesting that we do anything wicked; on the contrary, he is wisely and cleverly checking and containing the violence of the one who is angry. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
