Commentary

Commentary on Romans 15:12

Theological / Devotional

Esaias saith. A quotation from Isa. 11:10 (see comment there).

A root. Literally, “the root,” meaning in this case “the shoot that springs from the root” (cf. Rev. 5:5 ; 22:16). This verse shows explicitly that the Messiah of the Jews would be the desire and hope of the Gentiles.

Reign. As King of the kingdoms of grace and glory (see on Matt. 4:17 ; 5:3).

Trust. Gr. elpizō, “to hope.” On the relation of hope to salvation see on ch. 8:24.
