This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The goodness and the severity of God (chrēstotēta kai apotomian theou). See Rom 2:2 for chrēstotēs, kindness of God. Apotomia (here alone in the N.T.) is from apotomos, cut off, abrupt, and this adjective from apotemnō, to cut off. This late word occurs several times in the papyri.
If thou continue (ean epimenēis). Third class condition, ean and present active subjunctive.
Otherwise (epei). Ellipse after epei, “since if thou dost not continue.”
Thou also (kai su). Precisely as the Jewish branches of Rom 11:17 were.
Shalt be cut off (ekkopēsēi). Second future passive of ekkoptō, to cut out.
