Rom 9:24. Οὓς καὶ, whom also) καὶ, also, in chap. Rom 8:30, Cluverus: whom (having been previously prepared for glory) He hath also called.-ἐκάλεσεν, called) in some respects an antithesis to, He endured, Rom 9:22. Again, I will call, occurs in the next verse.-ἡμᾶς, us) This gnome[114] leads Paul to come to the proposition respecting grace, which is laid open to Jews and Gentiles; and he proceeds to refute the Jewish Particularism, and to defend the universality of grace.-οὐ μόνον ἐξ, not only from) The believing Jew is not called on the very ground that he is a Jew, but he is called from the Jews. This is the root of the word ἐκκλησία. [The epistle to the Ephesians most especially corresponds to this whole section, as well as to the exhortation, chapters 14, 15, deduced from it.-V. g.]-ἐξ Ἰουδαίων, from the Jews) He treats of this at Rom 9:27.-ἐξ ἐθνῶν, from the Gentiles) He treats of this, Rom 9:25, etc.
