ACC ~ Romans 11 v13

MY MINISTRY. ORIGEN: What is more worthy than to magnify the ministry which one has received by the providence of God? For the man who ministers well magnifies his ministry, while on the other hand the one who has ministered negligently and unworthily dishonors his ministry and draws unfavorable comment on it. COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is showing the Gentiles here how much he loves the Jews. For he magnifies his ministry, by which he is the apostle of the Gentiles, if by loving his own people he wins them to the faith as well. For he is more honored still if he wins to eternal life those to whom he has not been sent. For he who finds his lost brothers will have the greatest honor with his parents. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

HONORING HIS MINISTRY. PELAGIUS: Paul wants to show that he is especially anxious to save the Jews. As long as he is in the body he will honor his ministry, striving to save many of them by his example. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
