Contextual Overview

¹ What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision? ² Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God. ³ For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? ⁴ God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged. ⁵ Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shal we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.) ⁶ God forbid: els how shal God iudge ye world? ⁷ For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner? ⁸ And (as we are blamed, & as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust. ⁹ What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne, ¹⁰ As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Destruction - That is, they “cause” the destruction or the ruin of the reputation, happiness, and peace of others.

Misery - Calamity, ruin.

In their ways - Wherever they go. This is a striking description not only of the wicked then, but of all times. The tendency of their conduct is to destroy the virtue, happiness, and peace of all with whom they come in contact.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 3:16. Destruction and misery are in their ways — DESTRUCTION is their work, and MISERY to themselves and to the objects of their malice is the consequence of their impious and murderous conduct.
