Rim 9,1-5 - V úvode tejto časti Apoštol vyjadruje veľkú bolesť nad neverou Židov a vrúcnu túžbu po ich spáse, pričom uznáva ich prednosti a výsady.
Rim 9,3 - Paradoxné vyjadrenie, ktoré zvýrazňuje bezhraničnú lásku Apoštola k svojim súkmeňovcom Izraelitom.
Rim 9,4-5 - "Sú Izraeliti," t. j. majú meno, ktoré dal Boh praotcovi Jakubovi, a z toho pochádzajúce ďalšie privilégiá: adoptívne synovstvo, ktorým sa vyvolený národ stal "prvorodeným" Božím synom (Ex 4, 22); "slávu", ktorou Boh prebýval uprostred svojho ľudu; "zmluvy" s Abrahámom (Gn 15, 1; 15, 17; 17, 1), s Jakubom, Izraelom (Gn 32, 23), s Mojžišom (Ex 24, 7–8), s Dávidom (2 Sam 7, 11–16; Ž 89, 29); zákonodarstvo, ktoré je výrazom Božej vôle; pravú bohoslužbu; mesiášske prisľúbenia; patriarchov, ktorým sa zjavil Boh, a najmä privilégium, že z ich rodu pochádza Kristus.
Rim 9,7 - Pozri Gn 21, 12. Vyvoleným ľudom sú tí, čo sa vierou podobajú Abrahámovi, to je Abrahámovo pokolenie (Gal 3, 7).
Rim 9,8 - Porov. Gal 4, 23. 28.
Rim 9,9 - Gn 18, 10.
Rim 9,12-13 - Pozri Gn 25, 23; Mal 1, 2–3. Prorokovo slovo treba chápať v duchu biblickej hebrejskej reči, kde tento zvrat znamená menej milovať, nedávať prednosť, teda "viac som miloval Jakuba ako Ezaua".
Rim 9,14-18 - Boh je vo svojich rozhodnutiach zvrchovane slobodný. Preto nik nemôže povedať, že je nespravodlivý, keď si vyvolí, koho chce.

Rim 9,16 - "Beží", t. j. kto sa namáha.
Rim 9,17 - Ex 9, 16.
Rim 9,18 - "Zatvrdzuje, koho chce." V duchu semitizmu Pavol tu pripisuje skutky ľudí predovšetkým Bohu ako prvej príčine. Tým však nemieni pripisovať zlobu skutkov Bohu, ale iba zdôrazniť, že Boh uskutočňuje svoj plán spásy nezávisle od úmyslu ľudí pri ich konaní.
Rim 9,19-21 - Boh je zvrchovaný Pán všetkých bytostí. Pavol tu voľne cituje Iz 29, 16; 45, 9; Múd 12, 12; Jer 18, 6; Sir 33, 13.
Rim 9,22-24 - Nemožno teda nič namietať, ak sa Boh rozhodol, že spravodlivo potresce zaťatých Židov, voči ktorým bol doteraz zhovievavý. A práve tak spravodlivo si počína, keď sa zmilúva nad tými Židmi a pohanmi, ktorí sa otvárajú Kristovmu evanjeliu a ktorých pripravuje na večnú spásu.
Rim 9,22 - "Nádoby hnevu", t. j. hriešnici.
Rim 9,23 - "Nádoby milosrdenstva", t. j. tí, ktorým chce preukázať milosrdenstvo.
Rim 9,25-29 - Pavol citátmi z prorokov dokazuje, že povolanie pohanov je úplne zdarma daným Božím darom, ako aj to, že zvyšok Izraela, verný Pánovi, bude zachránený.
Rim 9,25 - Oz 2, 23–24; 1 Pt 2, 10.
Rim 9,26 - Oz 2, 1.
Rim 9,27 - Oz 2, 1; Iz 10, 22–23.
