Commentary on Romans 1:11

Theological / Devotional

Gift. Gr. charisma, “a gift of favor or grace,” from the word charis, “grace.” This spiritual gift that Paul longed personally to share with the believers at Rome was evidently the blessing of encouragement and growth in Christian faith, as further explained in v. 12.

Established. Or, “strengthened.” Paul does not say, “that I may strengthen you.” He knows that he is but an instrument through which God Himself will strengthen and invigorate the spiritual life of the Roman Christians (see Rom. 16:25; 2 Thess. 2:17).
