WK Translation Notes

a
Some few high and varied authorities omit "of Gentiles," which from the character of the Epistle seems to me probably right. The power of Christ in death and resurrection gives occasion to the manifestation of eternal counsel, wholly above the course of dispensation to Israel; and accordingly the gospel meets men universally in the grace and power of God, and hence in a life superior to death, and a love which no sufferings could daunt or quench.
