Romans 8:4
_ _ That the righteousness of the law — “the righteous demand,” “the requirement” [Alford], Or “the precept” of the law; for it is not precisely the word so often used in this Epistle to denote “the righteousness which justifies” (Romans 1:17; Romans 3:21; Romans 4:5, Romans 4:6; Romans 5:17, Romans 5:18, Romans 5:21), but another form of the same word, intended to express the enactment of the law, meaning here, we believe, the practical obedience which the law calls for.
_ _ might be fulfilled in us — or, as we say, “realized in us.”
_ _ who walk — the most ancient expression of the bent of one’s life, whether in the direction of good or of evil (Genesis 48:15; Psalms 1:1; Isaiah 2:5; Micah 4:5; Ephesians 4:17; 1 John 1:6, 1 John 1:7).
_ _ not after — that is, according to the dictates of
_ _ the flesh, but after the spirit — From Romans 8:9 it would seem that what is more immediately intended by “the spirit” here is our own mind as renewed and actuated by the Holy Ghost. |
Romans 8:4
That the righteousness of the law — The holiness it required, described, Romans 8:11. Might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit — Who are guided in all our thoughts, words, and actions, not by corrupt nature, but by the Spirit of God. From this place St. Paul describes primarily the state of believers, and that of unbelievers only to illustrate this. |
Romans 8:4
That the (l) righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (5) in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
(l) The very substance of the law of God might be fulfilled, or that same which the law requires, that we may be found just before God: for if with our justification there is joined that sanctification which is imputed to us, we are just, according to the perfect form which the Lord requires. (5) He returns to that which he said, that the sanctification which is begun in us is a sure testimony of our ingrafting into Christ, which is a most plentiful fruit of a godly and honest life. |
- That:
Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ... And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Ephesians 5:26-27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ... That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
|
- who:
Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
