title="Chapter summary and Study">Chapter&nbsp;</a></tr></table></div><b>They were pleased to do it</b><br>This phrase highlights the voluntary and joyful nature of the Gentile believers' contribution to the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. The early church was marked by a spirit of generosity and unity, as seen in <a href="/acts/2-44.htm">Acts 2:44-45</a>, where believers shared everything they had. This willingness reflects the transformative power of the Gospel, which breaks down barriers and fosters a sense of community and mutual support.<p><b>and indeed they owe it to them</b><br>Here, Paul emphasizes a sense of indebtedness that the Gentile believers have towards the Jewish Christians. This is rooted in the understanding that salvation and the message of the Gospel came through the Jews, as Jesus Himself stated in <a href="/john/4-22.htm">John 4:22</a>, "Salvation is from the Jews." The Jewish people were the original recipients of God's promises, and through them, the Gentiles have been grafted into the spiritual blessings of Israel (<a href="/romans/11-17.htm">Romans 11:17-18</a>).<p><b>For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings</b><br>This phrase acknowledges the spiritual heritage that the Gentiles have received from the Jewish people. The "spiritual blessings" refer to the promises of God, the covenants, the law, and ultimately, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who was born a Jew. <a href="/ephesians/2-11.htm">Ephesians 2:11-13</a> speaks of how Gentiles, once far off, have been brought near by the blood of Christ, sharing in the rich spiritual blessings that were first given to Israel.<p><b>they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings</b><br>Paul argues that the sharing of spiritual blessings creates a reciprocal responsibility for the Gentiles to support the Jewish believers materially. This principle of reciprocity is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized caring for one another's needs (<a href="/matthew/25-35.htm">Matthew 25:35-40</a>). The early church practiced this mutual care, as seen in <a href="/acts/11-29.htm">Acts 11:29</a>, where the disciples decided to provide help for the brothers and sisters living in Judea. This reflects the broader biblical principle that those who receive spiritual nourishment should support those who provide it (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-11.htm">1 Corinthians 9:11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a></b><br>The apostle who wrote the letter to the Romans, addressing the relationship between Jewish and Gentile believers.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/gentiles.htm">Gentiles</a></b><br>Non-Jewish believers who have come to faith in Christ and are part of the early Christian church.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jewish_believers.htm">Jewish Believers</a></b><br>The original recipients of God's promises and the first to receive the Gospel, from whom the Gentiles have received spiritual blessings.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The city where the Jewish believers were located, and to whom the Gentile churches were sending material support.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/macedonia_and_achaia.htm">Macedonia and Achaia</a></b><br>Regions where Gentile churches were located, which contributed to the collection for the Jerusalem church.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/m/mutual_obligation.htm">Mutual Obligation</a></b><br>Believers are called to support one another, recognizing that spiritual blessings received from others create a responsibility to share material blessings in return.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/unity_in_the_body_of_christ.htm">Unity in the Body of Christ</a></b><br>The relationship between Jewish and Gentile believers serves as a model for unity and mutual support within the church, transcending cultural and ethnic differences.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/generosity_as_worship.htm">Generosity as Worship</a></b><br>Giving to support fellow believers is an act of worship and gratitude, acknowledging God's provision and the interconnectedness of the church.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_and_material_reciprocity.htm">Spiritual and Material Reciprocity</a></b><br>The sharing of spiritual and material resources reflects the holistic nature of Christian fellowship and the call to bear one another's burdens.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/practical_stewardship.htm">Practical Stewardship</a></b><br>Christians are encouraged to be good stewards of their resources, using them to bless others and advance the work of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_romans_15.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Romans 15</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_noetic_science.htm">What is noetic science?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_there_historical_proof_of_these_collections.htm">Romans 15:25-27 describes financial support for believers in Jerusalem, but is there independent historical documentation confirming these collections?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_muscular_christianity.htm">What is the meaning of Galatians 3:28?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_christ_in_you_the_hope_of_glory.htm">Is Christ in you the hope of glory?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(27) <span class= "bld">It hath pleased them.</span>--It pleased the Macedonians and Achaians to make their contribution.
