WHAT WILL THEIR ACCEPTANCE MEAN? AMBROSIASTER: This is why Paul worked so hard for the conversion of the Jews, since the handicap of their blindness will be removed at the time when their sin is paid for, so that they might receive the free exercise of their will. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

OTHERS GAINED FROM THEIR SINS. CHRYSOSTOM: This also condemns the Jews, because although others gained from their sins, they did not profit from the good works of others. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 19.

PELAGIUS: What was the occasion for the reception of the Gentiles but that they came to life because of the death of the Jews?

On the one hand he teaches those who already believe not to think too highly of themselves, and on the other hand he extends a hand to those Jews who do not believe, showing them that they could obtain salvation through repentance. In the following [verses] he develops this theme more clearly. INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS.
