Romanos 9
Diodorus of Tarsus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Romanos 9:6
Because the promises which had been given to the Jews had been transferred to the Gentiles, Paul wanted to avoid the charge that God had lied about his promises, and so he shows how God remains faithful. The Scriptures make it clear that it was not those who were Israelites according to the flesh but those who by their godliness showed that they were worthy to be Israelites who were called children of Abraham. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 9:7
Paul wants to say that it is not those who are of Abraham's flesh who are his children, but those who are of the promise, who are godly and just, whom God promised according to his foreknowledge would be children of Abraham, just as Isaac was made righteous by the promise. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 9:16
God is not unjust simply because he does not give everyone what they deserve. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 9:21
Do not dare to condemn God or imagine that he showed mercy on one and hardened another by accident, for it was according to the power of his foreknowledge that he gave each one his due. Nor is he guilty because he knew in advance what would happen, but rather each of those who was foreknown in this way is responsible for his own actions, whether good or evil. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
