Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 5:5

_ _ And hope maketh not ashamed — putteth not to shame, as empty hopes do.

_ _ because the love of God — that is, not “our love to God,” as the Romish and some Protestant expositors (following some of the Fathers) represent it; but clearly “God’s love to us” — as most expositors agree.

_ _ is shed abroad — literally, “poured forth,” that is, copiously diffused (compare John 7:38; Titus 3:6).

_ _ by the Holy Ghost which is — rather, “was.”

_ _ given unto us — that is, at the great Pentecostal effusion, which is viewed as the formal donation of the Spirit to the Church of God, for all time and for each believer. (The Holy Ghost is here first introduced in this Epistle.) It is as if the apostle had said, “And how can this hope of glory, which as believers we cherish, put us to shame, when we feel God Himself, by His Spirit given to us, drenching our hearts in sweet, all-subduing sensations of His wondrous love to us in Christ Jesus?” This leads the apostle to expatiate on the amazing character of that love.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 5:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 5:5

Hope shameth us not — That is, gives us the highest glorying. We glory in this our hope, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts — The divine conviction of God's love to us, and that love to God which is both the earnest and the beginning of heaven. By the Holy Ghost — The efficient cause of all these present blessings, and the earnest of those to come.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 5:5

(6) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the (e) love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

(6) The foundation of hope is an assured testimony of the conscience, by the gift of the Holy Spirit, that we are loved by God, and this is nothing else but that which we call faith, from which it follows that through faith our consciences are quieted.

(e) With which he loves us.
