INTRODUCTION. 13

← Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans

easy, and adapted to all men. It should, therefore, agreeably to the revealed purpose of God, be preached to all men, ch. 10 : 6—21.

The rejection of the Jews is not total ; many of that generation were brought into the church, who were of the election of grace, ch. 11 : 1 — 10. Neither is this rejection final. There is to be a future and general con- version of the Jews to Christ, and thus all Israel shall be saved, ch. 11 : 11—36.

The third or practical part of the epistle, consists of directions, first, as to the general duties of Christians in their various relations to God, ch. 12 ; secondly, as to their political or civil duties, ch. 13 ; and, thirdly, as to their ecclesiastical duties, or those duties which they owe to each other as members of the church, ch. 14. 15 : 1 — 13.

The epistle concludes with some account of Paul's labours and pur- poses, ch. 15 : 14 — 33, and with the usual salutations, ch. 16.
