I believe the author is saying we fall short of the standards set before us by God. His glory defines righeousness and we fall short of it. Here are two opinions from commentaries of what the term means. Verse 23. For all have sinned. This was the point which he had fully established in the discussion in these chapters. And come short. Are deficient in regard to; are wanting, etc. Here it means, that they had failed to obtain, or were destitute of. The glory of God. The praise or approbation of God. They had sought to be justified, or approved, by God; but all had failed. Their works of the law had not secured his approbation; and they were therefore under condemnation. The greek word used here is often used in the sense of praise, or approbation. John 5:41,44; John 7:18; 8:50,54, 12:43. Albert Barnes, Notes on the New Testament Explanatory and Practical, ed. Robert Frew WORDsearch CROSS e-book, Under: "Romans 3". Modified to remove Greek characters by me 3:23. Judaism viewed “sin” as a moral offense against God (in contrast to the less dramatic usual Greek sense of the term). Jewish sources agreed that everyone sinned (with rare exceptions, like a young child); Greek moralists said that some faults were inevitable. “Falling short of God’s glory” may allude to the Jewish idea that humanity lost God’s glory when Adam sinned (cf. Romans 5:12-21), hence each generation repeats Adam’s sin; or it may simply mean that no one lives up to God’s standard of justice. Craig S. Keener, The IVP Bible Background Commentary – New Testament, (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1993), WORDsearch CROSS e-book, Under: "Luke 5:1-11 Fishers of People". |
