Romans 12:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

i.e. Be touched with your neighbour's good or evil, as if it were your own. The reason of this sympathy, or fellow feeling, is rendered by the apostle, 1 Corinthians 12:26,27; Because we are members one of another, therefore, if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Examples hereof we have in Luke 1:58 2 Corinthians 11:29: see Hebrews 13:3.

Romans 12:15

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
