This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 8:30. Τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν, them He also justified) Paul does not fix the number of those, who are called, justified, glorified, to be absolutely equal; he does not affirm that the believer may not fail between the special call, and final glory, ch. Rom 11:22; nor does he deny that there are also persons called, who may not be justified; but he shows, that God, so far as He Himself is concerned, conducts His people from step to step.-ἐδόξασε, He glorified) Rom 8:17-24. He speaks in the preterite, as if he were looking back from the goal to the race of faith, and from eternal glory, as it were, backward to the eternity itself, in which God decreed the glorifying of His people.-[Comp. Psa 16:3.]
