This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
29. ἀμεταμέλητα γὰρ κ.τ.λ. ἀμεταμ., 2Co 7:10 only.
τὰ χαρίσματα, only here of GOD’s gifts outside the Gospel dispensation; its use for the privileges of the Jew (Rom 9:4-6) is a remarkable instance of S. Paul’s sense of the unity of revelation: the use of the words marks the fact that the privileges of the Jew were the free gifts of GOD’s love, and, as such, could not be forfeited by rejection, though their operation might be suspended. The love which gave is still there. So
ἡ κλῆσις. The call to service, and ultimately to the kingdom, still holds, if Israel will hear.
