This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
16. ὃς ἐν ταῖς παρῳχημέναις γενεαῖς κ.τ.λ., who in bygone generations suffered all the heathen to walk in their own ways. On this cf. Act 17:30; Rom 1:2.
πορεύεσθαι ταῖς ὁδοῖς. This phrase in the LXX. almost always has the preposition ἐν, but it is found without a preposition (according to some MSS.) in 2Ch 11:17.
God had chosen Israel only for His own people before the coming of Christ, and had given to the rest of the world no revelation of Himself except what they could read in the pages of the book of nature. But that, St Paul says, spake clearly of a careful Creator and Preserver of the world.
