Robertson Word Pictures - Romans 11:32 - 11:32


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Hath shut up (sunekleisen). First aorist active indicative of sunkleiō, to shut together like a net (Luk 5:6). See note on Gal 3:22 for this word with hupo hamartian (under sin). This is a resultant (effective) aorist because of the disbelief and disobedience of both Gentile (1:17-32) and Jew (2:1-3:20).

All (tous pantas). “The all” (both Gentiles and Jews).

That he might have mercy (hinȧ̇eleēsēi). Purpose with hina and aorist active subjunctive. No merit in anyone, but all of grace. “The all” again, who receive God’s mercy, not that “all” men are saved.
