This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Having predestinated (προορίσας)

Rev. foreordained. From πρό before, ὁρίζω to define, the latter word being from ὅπος a boundary. Hence to define or determine beforehand.

Adoption (υἱοθεσίαν)

See on Rom 8:15. Never used of Christ.

Good pleasure (εὐδοκίαν)

Not strictly in the sense of kindly or friendly feeling, as Luk 2:14; Phi 1:15, but because it pleased Him, see Luk 10:21; Mat 11:26. The other sense, however, is included and implied, and is expressed by in love.
