Commentary on Romans 15:27

Theological / Devotional

Debtors they are. The congregation at Jerusalem was the mother church from which the gospel, with all its spiritual blessings, had been communicated to the Gentiles.

Carnal things. That is, material things, those things that pertain to man’s physical life, such as food and clothing. For this sense of “carnal” see 1 Cor. 9:11. In return for the great spiritual gifts the Gentiles had received from the saints at Jerusalem, surely they should “minister unto them in carnal things.”
