This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
12. διαστολὴ. Distinction, or distinguishing (cf. 1Co 14:7), that is, in the matter of faith, which is a common human quality.
ὁ γὰρ αὐτὸς κύριος. The same Person is Lord of all; the argument here lies in the universal reach of the term κύριος, as used in the confession Κύριος Ἰησοῦς.
πλουτῶν κ.τ.λ. The positive side, as from the Lord, of οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.
τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους α. Cf. Act 2:21; Act 9:14; Act 9:21; Act 22:16; 1Co 1:2; 2Ti 2:22; 1Pe 1:17; commonly in LXX[206] for invoking Jehovah as the God of Abraham, Israel, etc. The phrase is therefore a natural consequence of using the term Κύριος of Jesus, and has the same significance; cf. Knowling, op. cit[207] p. 263 f.
