Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) Predestinate.--This is the term which seems most to interfere with human free-will. Foreknowledge does not interfere with free-will, because the foreknowledge, though prior in point of time, is posterior in the order of causation to the act of choice. A man does not choose a certain action because it is foreknown, but it is foreknown because he will choose it. Predestination (the word is not inadequately translated) appears to involve a more rigorous necessity. All we can say is that it must not be interpreted in any sense that excludes free-will. Free-will is a postulate on which all the superstructure of morals and religion must rest. The religious mind, looking back over the course by which it has been brought, sees in it predominating the hand of God; but however large the divine element in salvation may be, it must in the end be apprehended by faith, which is an act of free-will. And the subsequent actions of which faith is the moving cause, though done under a co-operating divine influence, yet belong to the sphere of human freedom. (See Note on Romans 2:6.) It should be remembered that St. Paul is not now writing in the calm temper of philosophical analysis, but in an intense access of religious emotion, and therefore he does not stay to put in all the qualifying clauses that philosophy might require. It is well for mankind that he has done so. In all great and creative religious minds the consciousness of free-will has retired into the background.Called.--By presenting to them the gospel, directly or indirectly, through the preaching of Christ and His Apostles.Justified.--In the Pauline sense, as in Romans 3:24, et al.Glorified.--Strictly, the glorifying of the Christian awaits him in the future, but the Apostle regards all these different acts as focused together as it were on a single point in the past. Glorification is involved in justification.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAndδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.thoseοὓς (hous)Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Masculine PluralStrong's 3739: Who, which, what, that.
