Diodorus of Tarsus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Romanos 11:1
Fearing once again that exaggerating the rejection of the Jews might lead to a choice of disobedience, Paul turns to the small remnant of the election—the apostles and their fellow believers. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 11:3
Paul takes these words of Elijah and applies them by analogy to the Savior, in that only a remnant obtained the grace of the promise. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 11:6
Grace shows the love for mankind of the one who gives it, but works demand compensation according to what they are worth. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 11:7
What was Israel seeking? The promise that they would be made sons and heirs of the universe. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 11:16
"First fruits" and "root" both refer here to the patriarchs, the lawgiver and the prophets. "Lump" and "branches" refer to the whole of the Jewish people. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
Romanos 11:26
What does it mean to say that "all Israel will be saved?" Just as we say that the whole world and all the nations are being saved because everywhere and among all nations there are those who are coming to faith, so also "all Israel will be saved" does not mean that every one of them will be but that either those who were understood by Elijah or those who are scattered all over the world will one day come to faith. — PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH
