Rim 12,1 - Pavol tu podáva morálne dôsledky z náuky vyloženej v dogmatickej časti tohto listu. "Telo" znamená celú ľudskú osobu. Kresťan celým svojím životom prináša Bohu obetu, ktorá je pravou "duchovnou bohoslužbou".
Rim 12,1-7 - Pavol tu vysvetľuje vzťah k svetskej moci. Tá je na to, aby slúžila spoločnému dobru, a teda aj jednotlivcom. Pavol tu zdôrazňuje zásadu, že moc má základ v Bohu. Takto kresťanské náboženstvo preniká mravný život jednotlivca (12, 1), ale aj celej spoločnosti.
Rim 12,3-8 - Údy Cirkvi tvoria spoločenstvo ako tajomné Kristovo telo. Toto spojenie určuje ich vzájomné povinnosti. Dary milosti môžu byť rozličné, ale vždy ich treba používať tak, aby slúžili dobru celého spoločenstva.
Rim 12,7 - Porov. Mt 22, 21; 1 Pt 2, 13.
Rim 12,8 - Porov. 8, 4; 1 Kor 13, 1; Gal 5, 14; Kol 3, 14; Jn 13, 34.
Rim 12,9 - Pozri Ex 20, 13–17; Dt 5, 17–21; Lv 19, 18. Blížny sa tu berie nielen ako člen toho istého národa, ako v Lv, ale ako člen ľudskej rodiny zjednotenej v Kristovi (Gal 3, 28; Mt 25, 40).
Rim 12,11 - "Čas" v pavlovskom chápaní je čas eschatologický, ten, o ktorom hovorí Písmo ako "o posledných dňoch", začatých smrťou a zmŕtvychvstaním Ježiša Krista a rozprestierajúcich sa na čas putujúcej Cirkvi, ktorá kráča v ústrety druhému Pánovmu príchodu.
Rim 12,12 - Porov. 1 Sol 5, 4 n.
Rim 12,13 - "Svätých", čiže kresťanov.
