Romans 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 3:16

Destruction and misery are in their ways.
] This passage also is to be found in ( Isaiah 59:7 ) , and may be understood either actively thus: all the ways they take, and methods they pursue, are to make their fellow creatures miserable, to ruin and destroy them; or passively, that by their sinful ways and vicious course of life, they themselves are brought to destruction and misery: the way they are walking in is, "the broad way, that leadeth to destruction", ( Matthew 7:13 ) ; the end of it, what it issues in, is eternal death, the destruction of the body and soul in hell, which will be attended with endless and inexpressible misery.

Romans 3:16 In-Context

14 The mouth of whom is full of cursing and bitterness;
15 the feet of them be swift to shed blood.
16 Sorrow and cursedness be in the ways of them, [+Contrition, or defouling together, and infelicity/unhappiness, be in the ways of them,]
17 and they knew not the way of peace;
18 the dread of God is not before their eyes.
