ACC ~ Romans 15 v33

LIVING PEACEFULLY IN THE TRUTH. AMBROSIASTER: The God of peace is Christ, who said: “My peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you.” This is what he prays for them, knowing that the Lord said: “Behold I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” Paul therefore wants them to be the kind of people in whom the Lord Jesus Christ dwells, who has shown them that all the discord caused by human sin has been taken away and who has given them what is true, that they may live peacefully in that truth. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

CALLED TO PEACEFUL AGREEMENT. PELAGIUS: The God of peace dwells only in those who are peaceable. It is good that he has concluded with peace, because the two parties are here called back to peaceful agreement with each other. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.

OVERCOMING SUSPICION. THEODORET OF CYR: Paul called God the “God of peace” here for a reason, because he was concerned about those at Rome who were battling one another or at least who were suspicious of one another. He wanted them to be at peace with each other because of the controversy which they were having over the observance of the law. INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS.
