ACC ~ Romans 15 v9

THE GENTILES RECEIVE MERCY. AMBROSIASTER: It is written in the seventeenth psalm [LXX]that the Gentiles will be admitted to the grace of God in order to receive salvation. For this is the voice of Christ, which predicted what would happen in the future. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

GLORIFY GOD BY MANIFESTING UNITY. CHRYSOSTOM: It was by mercy alone that the Gentiles were saved; hence they were bound to glorify God. It is a glory to God when they are blended together and united, when they offer praise with one mind, when they bear the weaker and when they do not neglect the member who has been cut off. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 28.

PELAGIUS: Paul deprives the Jews of presumption when he teaches that it was foretold that the Gentiles would be saved, even though this was not announced to them. Christ accepts those Gentiles who have received mercy because they too belong to his body. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
