Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:22-23

_ _ Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them that fell, severity — in rejecting the chosen seed.

_ _ but toward thee, goodness — “God’s goodness” is the true reading, that is, His sovereign goodness in admitting thee to a covenant standing who before wert a “stranger to the covenants of promise” (Ephesians 2:12-20).

_ _ if thou continue in his goodness — in believing dependence on that pure goodness which made thee what thou art.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:22

Else shalt thou — Also, who now "standest by faith," be both totally and finally cut off.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:22

(11) Behold therefore the (x) goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] (y) goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

(11) Seeing that the matter itself declares that election comes not by inheritance (although the fault is in men, and not in God, why the blessing of God is not perpetual) we must take good heed that those things are not found in ourselves, which we think blameworthy in others, for the election is sure, but those that are truly elect and ingrafted, are not proud in themselves with contempt of others, but with due reverence to God, and love towards their neighbour, run to the mark which is set before them.

(x) The tender and loving heart.

(y) In that state which God's bountifulness has advanced you to: and we must mark here that he is not speaking of the election of every individual man, which remains steadfast forever, but of the election of the whole nation.
