Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord....

That neither death, nor life, nor angels, Good or bad. Rom_8:38. Nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, Hard and grinding as they may be. Rom_8:38. Nor things to come. Unknown mysteries dreaded.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Paul had good reason for being persuaded that there was no separation for those...
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: The apostle is evidently about to make an extraordinary statement — a statement which...
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. He never thought about his unbelieving brethren, without the deepest imaginable regret. How far is this from the spirit of those who look upon the ungodly without tears — settle it down as a...
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: They hated Paul intensely; nothing could surpass the malice of the Jews against the...
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: He had just that self-sacrificing spirit of Moses, that he would lose anything and everything if they might but be saved. And this is the spirit which ought to actuate every Church of Christ. The Church that is always caring for her own...
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises: Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. The apostle never omits an opportunity of magnifying his Master. Though it...
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. What dignity has God put upon ancient Israel! How favored far beyond any of...
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Wwhose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. This was what troubled the apostle so much concerning the Jews, that they...
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Now, the Apostle is getting to his point. You Jews claim to have the mercy of God because you are of the seed of Abraham; but there is...
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. Paul is always jealous lest anyone should suppose that the Word of God has failed, or that the purpose of God has come to naught.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: Now he goes on to show that the blessings of God’s grace do not go according to carnal descent. It is true that God promised to bless the seed of Abraham, yet he meant that word “seed” in a very special sense.
But, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. By passing over Ishmael, God showed that there was nothing of saving in blood or birth. Ishmael was the firstborn son of Abraham; but he was passed by, for the promise was, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called.”
That is, thy flesh which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Now, Isaac was not the child of Abraham’s flesh. He was born according to promise, when his mother was past age, and his father well stricken in years. His was the birth according to the promise, and...
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; — When there were twins to be...
