This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 15:13. Ἐλπίδος, of hope] Comp. they shall hope, in the preceding verse and immediately after, in hope. The God of hope, a name glorious to God; a name heretofore unknown to the Gentiles. For Hope had been one of their false divinities, whose temple, Livy mentions in the 21st book of his history, was struck with lightning, and, again in the 24th book, was burnt with fire.-χαρᾶς καὶ εἰρήνης, with joy and peace) We may look back to ch. Rom 14:17. Concerning joy comp. Rom 15:10, Rejoice ye; concerning peace, ibid. with [His people].-ἐν δυνάμει) construed with περισσεύειν.
