Vincent, [1886]\nInfirmities (\u1f00\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1)\nOnly here in the New Testament.\nOf the circumcision\nOf those circumcised. See on the election, Rom 11:7.\nIt is written\nThe citations are from Psa 18:50, compare Sa2 22:50; Deu 32:43; Psa 117:1; Isa 11:10.\nConfess\nRev., give praise. See on Rom 14:11.\nSing (\u03c8\u03b1\u03bb\u1ff6)\nSee on Jam 5:13.\nRejoice (\u03b5\u1f50\u03c6\u03c1\u03ac\u03bd\u03b8\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5)\nFrequently in the New Testament of merry-making. Luk 12:19; Luk 15:23, Luk 15:24. See on fared sumptuously, Luk 16:19.\nRoot\nSee on Nazarene, Mat 2:23. Root is a sprout from the root.\nHe that shall rise to reign\nRev., that ariseth to reign. Literally from the Septuagint. Ariseth to reign is a paraphrase of the Hebrew stands as banner. Bengel says: \"There is a pleasant contrast: the root is in the lowest place, the banner rises highest, so as to be seen even by the remotest nations.\"\nShall - hope\nSo Septuagint, which is a free rendering of the Hebrew seek or resort to.\nHere the Epilogue of the Epistle begins. Bengel says: \"As one street often leads men, leaving a large city, through several gates, so the conclusion of this Epistle is manifold.\"\nGoodness (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03b8\u03c9\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2)\nSee on Rom 3:12.\nTo admonish (\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03b8\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd)\nSee on Act 20:31.\nI have written (\u1f14\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c8\u03b1)\nRev., I write. The epistolary aorist. See on Jo1 2:13.\nThe more boldly (\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03bc\u03b7\u03c1\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd)\nNot too boldly, but the more boldly because you are full of goodness.\nIn some sort (\u1f00\u03c0\u1f78 \u03bc\u03ad\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2)\nSee on Rom 11:25. Rev., in some measure, qualifying I write, and referring to some passage in which he had spoken with especial plainness; as Rom 6:12, Rom 6:19; Rom 8:9; Rom 11:17; Rom 14:3, Rom 14:4, Rom 14:10, Rom 14:13, Rom 14:15, Rom 14:20, etc.\nMinister (\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u1f78\u03bd)\nSee on Rom 13:6.\nMinistering (\u1f31\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1)\nOnly here in the New Testament. Lit., ministering as a priest.\nOffering up (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u1f70)\nLit., the bringing to, i.e., to the altar. Compare doeth service, Joh 16:2.\nWhereof I may glory (\u03c4\u1f74\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03cd\u03c7\u03b7\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nRather, as Rev., my glorying, denoting the act. The ground of glorying would be \u03ba\u03b1\u03cd\u03c7\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 as in Rom 4:2; Gal 6:4, etc.\nThose things which pertain to God (\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u0398\u03b5\u03cc\u03bd)\nA technical phrase in Jewish liturgical language to denote the functions of worship (Heb 2:17; Heb 5:1). According with the sacerdotal ideas of the previous verse.\nSigns - wonders\nSee on Mat 11:20.\nRound about (\u03ba\u03cd\u03ba\u03bb\u1ff3)\nNot, in a circuitous track to Illyricum, but Jerusalem and the regions round it. For the phrase, see Mar 3:34; Mar 6:6, Mar 6:36; Luk 9:12; Rev 4:6. For the facts, Acts 13, 19.\nIllyricum\nLying between Italy, Germany, Macedonia, and Thrace, bounded by the Adriatic and the Danube. The usual Greek name was Illyris. The name Illyria occurs in both Greek and Latin. Though the shore was full of fine harbors and the coast-land fertile, Greek civilization never spread on the coast. Dyrrachium or Epidamnus was almost the only Greek colony, and its history for centuries was a continuous conflict with the barbarous nations. In the time of the Roman Empire the name spread over all the surrounding districts. In the division between the Eastern and Western Empire it was divided into Illyris Barbara, annexed to the Western Empires and Illyris Graeca, to the Eastern, including, Greece, Epirus, and Macedonia. The name gradually disappeared, and the country was divided between the states of Bosnia, Croatia, Servia, Rascia, and Dalmatia. No mention of a visit of Paul occurs in the Acts. It may have taken place in the journey mentioned Act 20:1-3.\nFully preached (\u03c0\u03b5\u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c1\u03c9\u03ba\u03ad\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., fulfilled Some explain, have given the Gospel its fall development so that it has reached every quarter.\nHave I strived (\u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd)\nThe verb means originally to be fond of honor, and hence, from a love of honor, to strive, be ambitious. Compare Co2 5:9; Th1 4:11. The correct sense is to prosecute as a point of honor.\nFoundation (\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd)\nSee on settle, Pe1 5:10.\nI have been hindered (\u1f10\u03bd\u03b5\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03c4\u03cc\u03bc\u03b7\u03bd)\nImperfect tense, denoting continuousness, and implying a succession of hindrances. Rev., was hindered. Hence these many times.\nPlace (\u03c4\u03cc\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd)\nScope, opportunity. So of Esau, Heb 12:17. Compare Rom 12:19; Eph 4:27.\nMany (\u1f31\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd\u1ff6\u03bd)\nSee on worthy, Luk 7:6. The primary meaning is sufficient, and hence comes to be applied to number and quantity; many, enough, as Mar 10:46; Luk 8:32; Act 9:23, etc. So, long, of time (Act 8:11; Act 27:9). Worthy, i.e., sufficient for an honor or a place (Mar 1:7; Luk 7:6; Co1 15:9). Adequate (Co2 2:16; Co2 3:5). Qualified (Ti2 2:2). Here the sense might be expressed by for years enough.\nSpain\nThe usual Greek name is Iberia. Paul adopts a modification of the Roman name, Hispania.\nIn my journey (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b5\u03c5\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2)\nLit., journeying through, or as I pass through.\nTo be brought on my way (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b8\u1fc6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9)\nEscorted. See on Act 15:3.\nFilled (\u1f10\u03bc\u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03c3\u03b8\u1ff6)\nLit., filled full: satiated. Compare Act 14:17; Luk 1:53. Rev., satisfied.\nContribution (\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03b1\u03bd)\nSee on fellowship, Act 2:42.\nPoor saints (\u03c0\u03c4\u03c9\u03c7\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f01\u03b3\u03af\u03c9\u03bd)\nMore literally, and better, the poor of the saints. Rev., among the saints. All the saints were not poor.\nTo minister (\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u1fc6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9)\nSee on Rom 13:6. By using this word for priestly service, Paul puts the ministry of almsgiving on the footing of a sacrificial service. It expresses the worship of giving.\nSealed - this fruit\nSecured to them the product of the contribution. See on Joh 3:33; see on Rev 22:10.\nGospel\nOmit, and read blessing of Christ.\nStrive together (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd\u03af\u03c3\u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b1\u03b9)\nThe simple verb is used of contending in the games, and implies strenuous effort. Here earnest prayer.\nThem that do not believe (\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f00\u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03b8\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd)\nSee on Rom 10:21. Better, Rev., them that are disobedient.\nWith you be refreshed (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03b1\u03cd\u03c3\u03c9\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 \u1f51\u03bc\u1fd6\u03bd)\nSee on give rest, Mat 11:28.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Romans: Romans Chapter 15","type":"page"}
