Romans 15:6
Compare all
4 For awhatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the1 patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.  
5 aNow may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,  
6 that you may awith one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

Glorify God Together

7 Therefore areceive one another, just bas Christ also received us, to the glory of God.  
8 Now I say that aJesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, bto confirm the promises made to the fathers,  
9 and athat the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
b“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”  
10 And again he says:
a“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”  
11 And again:
a“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”  
12 And again, Isaiah says:
a“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all ajoy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

<< Romans 15:5   Romans 15:7 >>


Romans 15:6

That ye may with one mind - The word used here is translated "with one accord;" Acts 1:14; Acts 2:1; Acts 4:24. It means unitedly, with one purpose, without contentions, and strifes, and jars.

And one mouth - This refers, doubtless, to their prayers and praises. That they might join without contention and unkind feeling, in the worship of God. Divisions, strife, and contention in the church prevent union in worship. Though the "body" may be there, and the church "professedly" engaged in public worship, yet it is a "divided" service; and the prayers of strife and contention are not heard; Isaiah 58:4.

Glorify God - Praise or honor God. This would be done by their union, peace, and harmony; thus showing the tendency of the gospel to overcome the sources of strife and contention among people, and to bring them to peace.

Even the Father ... - This is an addition designed to produce love.

(1) He is "a Father;" we then, his children, should regard him as pleased with the union and peace of his family.

(2) He is the Father of our Lord; our "common" Lord; our Lord who has commanded us to be united, and to love one another. By the desire of honoring "such" a Father, we should lay aside contentions, and be united in the bands of love.
