(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Whom he foreknew (hon proegnō). The same form and sense as in Rom 8:29, which see. Probably the Hebrew sense of choice beforehand. The nation of Israel was God’s chosen people and so all the individuals in it could not be cast off.
Wot ye not? (ouk oidatė). “Know ye not?” Why keep the old English “wot”?
Of Elijah (en Eleiāi). “In the case of Elijah.” Cf. “in the bush” (Mar 12:26).
He pleadeth (entugchanei). See Rom 8:27. Entugchanō means to happen on one and so to converse with (Act 25:24), to plead for (Rom 8:27, Rom 8:34), to plead against as here with kata, but the “against” is in kata.
