4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.



Ver. 4. Who will have all men, &c.] God willeth, to wit, with a will whereby he inviteth, and putteth no bar; not with a will whereby he effecteth it, taking away all impediments.



That all men] Not distributively taken, but collectively, as thrice in one verse, Col_1:28.



Should be saved] viz. If they do what he commandeth: God doth not tie himself to cause them to do what he commandeth, that they may be saved.



And to come to the knowledge] The only way to salvation. Pray therefore that their eyes may be opened, Act_26:18.
